They apparently had two children, my GGGrandfather Jacob Gibson, and Mary Gibson. Thomas was of Scotch-Irish descent, and Sarah was of Scotch descent. Most of the info I have is from KSGenWeb Digital Library (http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/atchison/bios/jgibson.htm). Jacob Gibson was born June 7, 1823 in York County, PA. and married Leah High in August 26 1851 in Clearfield County, PA. Jacob died in Atchison Ks March 15, 1900. Leah was born in Clearfield County, PA on May 15, 1831 and died Sept 23, 1901 in Atchison Ks. They had 11 children 1. Mary Magdalena (b July 22,1852 in Clearfield, PA) (d Oct 8 1906 in Goff, Nemaha, KS) (m) James Johnstone (Roots Web Database rlg-ks-nemaha & pt_nemaha_ks ) 2. John F. (b August 1853 in PA) (m) Priscillla A. Emmel (b Jan 1857 in PA) (Roots Web Database scant & kathie ) 3. George W. (b 1856 in PA) (m) Elizabeth 4. Sarah Jane Gibson (b ~1858) (d 1860) 5. Susan (b ~1860 in PA) (m) William Johnstone; (m) Frank Hunn 6. Abraham Lincoln (b ~1862 in PA) (d 1891) (m- Jan 4, 1884) Alice Amelia Lewton (b May 26, 1861 in Huntsville Schuyler, Ill.) d Mar 2 1949 Lackinburg, Jackson County Ks) 7. Philip LeRoy (b ~1864 PA) (m) Candance Lewton; (m) Maude Baker 8. Emma (b ~1867 in Illinios) (m) John Huston 9. Elizabeth Sophia (b ~1869 in Illinois) (m) Hoard Cathcart 10. Lillie (b ~1871in Illinios) (m) Bert Brooks 11. David William (b ~1874 in Ks) (m) Lena Sinning(?) I found Jacob's family in the 1860 US Census for Pennsylvania, Clearfield, Ferguson TWP (Series: M653, Roll: 1096, Page 950). I believe that this is the same Jacob Gibson I found in the 1850 Census (Roll: M432_768; Pg 366; Image 166 from Anscestry.com)in Ferguson, Clearfield PA. Has anyone found any additional information about Thomas and Sarah Gibson? Gene Gibson (pyrogeno@yahoo.com) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
