I am a Locke researcher so can only help with that part of the family. I'll have to put my additions with the families. My main source is the will of Judge Francis Locke, who named his sisters' children: ***5thly. I give and bequeath unto my nephew, John Gibson, if living, and if not, then in equal proportion to his surviving children the sum of One thousand dollars to be paid him out of my monies which may come to the hands of my Executors from debts owing or the sale hereafter directed to be made and I further hereby release the said John & his heirs from the payment of One Hundred & ten dollars by me heretofore advanced to the said John as well as from the payment after taxes of his land and it is my wish that my executors continue to pay the taxes thereof out of my Estate until a sale can be appointed thereof by himself or his heirs free from any charge against him or either of his Heirs and that no sale of his land shall be suffered for non-payment of taxes. ***7thly. I devise and bequeath to my nephews William, John, & Francis Gibson sons of George Gibson ***9thly. It is further my will and desire that all the rest and residue of my negrows be divided among my above named nephews as also... Elizabeth, Ann & Polly Gibson the children of John Penny and the children of James Graham by Margaret Penny that is to say the children of George Gibson above named male & female as the representatives of thir mother shall all equally be entitled to one share collectively the children of John Penny and James Graham both those now in existence and those that may survive at the Death of Their respective mother to be entitled to one share... But as it may be uncertin what number of children John Penny & James Graham ***13thly. I also bequeath to John Gibson son of Francis and to the sons of Wm. Gibson all my Stock in the Atkin navigation Company and to Francis Locke Gibson I give my oldest gray colt at the narrows.... Loose Estate Papers, estate distribution (of slaves, but omitting all but names): ***Children of George Gibson... Subdivided John Brandon in right of Elizabeth his wife Joseph McKnight in right of Polly Thomas Smith in right of Ann John Gibson William Gibson Francis Gibson As far as I can tell, John and Elizabeth Locke Gibson just had the son, apparently John Jr. He seems to have been in Mercer Co, KY and then in Woodford Co (I haven't checked, it may have been the same place but a new county). ***DEEDS: From Klutz's deed abstracts. Deed book 28, page 94. #2219. 13 Nov. 1824. John Gibson of Woodford County, Kentucky to John Blackwell for $300, 246 A on Grants Crk. adj. Thomas Todd, Alfred McCay, and John Anderson. It was part of a 380A State grant to the executors of John Gibson, Dec'd. [09:060]. Wit: Tho. Todd, Wm. Gibson. Prvd by Todd at Nov. Ct. 1824. DEEDS: page 132. #2244. 14 Dec. 1824. John Gibson of Woodford County, Kentucky to William Penninger for $155, 155A on Second Crk. adj. to John Anderson, John Blackwell, and Kelly. Wit: John Andrews, Richard Locke. Prvd. by Andrews at Feb. Ct. 1825. I don't see children of William (Jr.) and Mary Locke Gibson, and the bequest to "sons of William Gibson" may mean great nephews (William son of George, since John was the son of his brother Francis). I hope some of this helps. Elaine Oakes >>1. William Gibson Sr. was born ca. 1720 in County Armaugh, Ireland. He immigrated around 1765.... William had sons William (m. Mary Locke, daughter probably of Francis Locke and Anna Brandon); John (b. ca 1745; d 9 Aug 1777; m. 1775 Elizabeth Locke, daughter of Francis Locke and Anna Brandon); ...George Gibson (b. ca 1755; d ca 1821; m 1780 Margaret Locke, daughter of Francis Locke and Anna Brandon); ... >>William Jr. married Mary Locke ca. 1774 and died around 1778, taken prisoner in Charleston, SC. Their children were Francis Locke, Elizabeth, Ann and Mary "Polly." Widow Mary Locke Gibson married 2nd Alexander Penny in 1788. >>4. John Gibson was born ca 1745 in County Armaugh, Ireland. He married 13 Jan 1775 Elizabeth Locke, daughter of Francis Locke and Anna Brandon. He died 9 August 1777 and his headstone is in Thyatira Presbyterian church cemetery. There is no record of him buying or being granted land in Rowan County but Elizabeth and her father, Francis, were able to get one or two grants of land in 1778 (#699 for 380 acres and/or State grant #33 for 380 acres). Elizabeth Gibson is listed in the taxes of 1778, 1781, 1784; as Elizabeth Armstrong in 1796 and 1798. Widow Elizabeth married 1792 to Richard Armstrong and they moved to Mercer Co., KY. John and Elizabeth had at least two children (as the grants were for widow and orphans). Supposedly they had two children, John (born ca 1776), and Phebe (born 20 Jan 1776; m 1792 Joseph Hasket) but I have no proof. Can anyone verify the children? What happened to the children? What happened to the land? Can anyone verify Elizabeth and Richard Armstrong? >>6. George Gibson died in 1821. He married Margaret Locke in 1780 and she apparently died before 1796, when her father's will was probated. Where were they buried?
