Just found this old article on Jordan Gibson -- if correct it would appear the Jordan Gibson who was killed by Indians in 1788 was the brother of Gideon and not the son. I guess the 'author' could have been mistaken as to Jordan's age but he should have known a man of 60 compared to 80. Also it is signed 'Messrs Harrison' which I suspect may be James Harrison, husband of Cynthia who was daughter of this Jordan. Anyone researching this line? "We are in a perfect state of warfare, which you will see by the following account of unprovoked hostilities, committed by the southern tribes of Indians since my last arrival here. The 17th of January, Messrs Jordon Gibson and Charles Morgan, were shot and scalped in the road between the Locust Land and Bledsoe's Lick, the former was a native of South Carolina, and about 80 years of age, the latter was late of Virginia, a young man, he lived 13 days and died of his wounds." _http://www.geocities.com/ourmelungeons/bledsoeslick.html_ (http://www.geocities.com/ourmelungeons/bledsoeslick.html) **************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place.
