I don't know if John Gibson and Elizabeth Locke had a daughter. I think Elizabeth and John Jr. were probably living with her father, Francis Lock, for the 1790 Census. There were 3 adult males, 1 under 16, and 2 females in the household. Since Anne Brandon Lock was still living, if corect that would rule out a girl. There is a marriage bond record in Rowan Co, NC for Richard Armstrong and Elizabeth Gibson. Elizabeth Lock's brother William, who also moved to Mercer Co KY and died there in 1800, included the following in his will. ..."I also give to John Gibson my sattle together with all my warring clothes"... I think he was leaving personal items to the nearest relative who could use them (William had a young daughter, no sons). Now I have a question. I found the following information several years ago. The name, location, and dates could fit, as do a daughter Frances and grandson Francis. However, I have no idea if this was our John Gibson. Elaine Oakes From Ancestry.com, and a book called "Tennessee, The Volunteer State, 1769-1923, Vol. III". John Gibson, 1775-July 15, 1828. Wife Mary Connor of Lexington, KY, 2 daughters (Frances & Susan). Francis married James Irwin and had a son, Francis Gibson Irwin (his widow was still living in Clarksville when the book was published), children and grandchildren. >>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?
