There were a lot of families that migrated from Rutherford and Bedford Counties in TN to Gibson Co., including my own Philips/Phillips who also settled in Walnut Grove before moving on to Texas in 1880's. You might try looking in Census Index in Rutherford and Bedford Cos. for 1850 thru 1870 census to see if they were there.
