Maria, Thanks, we will need a little luck, as we used up some of it already. A great aunt of mine, who died last year at the age of 96, had written down some of the family stories, that she had been told when she was a young girl. One of her stories tells about the one room cabin that was built on 50 acres of land, which Samuel A. Gibson received a deed for. After it was built, he moved his new wife into it, and there, they raised all their 7 children. Later, he built a loft in the cabin to make a little more room. That is just about the jist of her story. When I first read it, I wondered about how much of it had remained true throughout the years. Still, I thought, OK, he had to live in something, why not a log cabin. The year had to be about 1813, that is my estimate, because Samuel's first child was born in 1814. Also, according to the history of Indiana Co., Samuel A. Gibson married Mary Stewart. Samuel's sister, Margaret, married Mary Stewart's brother, James "Jimmie Moccassin" Stewart. Samuel and James were in the same PA Militia together. And I think in Stephen's book he says, that the two men became acquainted, and married each other's sister. Now according to record, James Stewart and his wife, Margaret Gibson, moved to Brushvalley Twp about 1813. So I am assuming that Samuel Gibson and Mary Stewart settled about the same time too. My cousin in Indiana, PA, has just used up a roll of film in taking photos of the foundation. I am antsy to see them! Maybe I'll be able to take a long weekend, and run down there and take a look at it. Thanks again for your ideas. -Gary T. Gibson
