I have posted a query before looking for info on William Henry Corbin & Ollie Walker who were married in Gibson Co in 1891. That's the last I have on them. I understand that there are still many Corbins in the County and would really like to find out if any are their descendants. I have attempted to contact some from the phone book but have had no luck as yet. Also, just visited the Gibson Co site again (It is really a great site). I saw the Beech Valley School photo of the 4th grade, 1913-14 school year where the teacher was identified as Vera Corbin. Does anyone know if Corbin was her married name and, if so, who her husband was? I would appreciate any information at all. Thanks, Audrey Mailto:alemons@mindspring.com http://alemons.home.mindspring.com/family.html

Hello Everyone! Gibson County Illustrated is looking good. This is a tremendous resource. I've spent all morning posting more transcribed pages sent to me by Catherine Edwards and Barry Crocker. It's an on going job but worth it's weight in gold for ALL of you to be able to read the pages quickly and the Pinpoint Search Engine on the main Gibson page has been updated to reflect all the new transcribed pages. It should be hard for anyone to enter their surname in the Pinpoint search and not get at least one hit! Also I'd like to hear as the project goes on, who of you have found a photo of a relative or information that really helped you. Please post them all to the list. We'd like to hear all the stories!

Hi all, Over the last few days I have received several requests to change/add/or modify some things on the Old Photos Page. I just wanted to let everone know that I am changing over from an old computer to a newer one and it will be a couple of days before I can do those things. That is if I can get this thing working right.LOL Please be patient with me. Thanks, Milton Wanted to say *THANKS* to all the folks who are helping transcribe the Illustrated. It is a wonderfull resource and will be a great addition to the Gibson Co. Page.

Does anyone have any information about Lewis L. Williams? He was supposed to have owned one of the original building lots in Trenton,TN. Any info would be appreciated. Rick

I am searching for any of the descendents of Samuel Richardson and his wife, Elizabeth Hopkins, sister of John Hopkins of Warren Co. Tn. Other records of this family, especially the Hopkins, can be found in Rutherford Co., and in Cannon Co., Tn. The records place them in Goochland Co. VA before coming to middle Tennessee.

If any of the people out there can ask their older rellies if they can remember a person being buried on their own land? Was it legal and if was it done? I am still looking for the burial place of my great-great grandfather JAY THOMAS HUBBLE, he owned land on highway 104 the 21st district,the old Dyersburg highway. and since I have not been able to find him in the Yorkville cemetery or the Walnut Grove,Wilson,SpringHill,or the Oakwood cemetery. Is this land now Yorkville? Or is it on the Dyersburg/Trenton Highway? Any help would be appreciated very much,I know he is here somewhere,and it is heart breaking not to be to find him. Cindy

Hello to all on this list! Am new here, but am hoping that someone will recognize this family in the Gibson Co. 1850 census-- James M. Hamilton, b. 1808 VA w/ wife, Rachel, b. 1812 VA. Children: Wm b. 1834 Margaret, b. 1836 Elizabeth b. 1838 Alexander b. 1840 James b. 1842 Phebe b. 1844 Henry b. 1846 Nancy b. 1848 Tennessee b. 1850 I am trying to prove that this James M. Hamilton was previously liv. in Lincoln Co. TN. Believe that he had at least two other siblings, Daniel C. Hamilton(b. 1810 TN) and Sarah(Hamilton)Coats, (b.c. 1800-1 SC). Would really like to discuss this family with any descendants, particularly if they have links from this family back to SC(York Co.?). - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Larry D.

The volunteers for the Gibson County Illustrated project are working me crazy! A BIG thanks to them all! I have posted all that I have received so far. And the site is being reindexed right now. At this rate Illustrated will be finished this week! (I'm always optimistic!) FYI, I reindex the site every time I post something new to ensure that you get all the instances of your surname every time you run a search on the Pinpoint Search Engine on the main page. AND PLEASE everyone, don't forget to check out EVERY instance of your surname. I don't want anyone to miss something important! A lot of hard work goes into this! Thanks, Vicki

After reading some pages from Gibson County Illustrated I need someone to tell me what a Roller Mill and buhr are? Phil Di Matteo

HI Folks, The yahoos at Yahoo finally, finally let me back into my webpage. After 2 months of telephone calls(all unheeded) and countless e-mail messages which were answered quickly and efficently by auto responces which of course had no connection or meaning to my problem, I was given a new password and was able to edit my site.
