Hi all I am still trying to nail down the marriage of Susanna Martha GIBSON b. New Market, Jefferson Co. TN abt. 1791. I know that she was in Martin Co. IN as early as 1830 living with her husband Benjamin COOPER. They are still there until sometime in 1871 when they moved down to Delaware Co. IN where she died on 21 Mar 1871 and is buried next to Benj. COOPER at the Rees Cemetery, Perry Township, Delaware Co. IN. I've been told that Benj. COOPER married contrary to discipline in OH and was disowned by the Society of Friends February 24, 1814. But my understanding is that the GIBSONs were long time members of the Society. So how could he married contrary if he married Garrett GIBSON's daughter? ANYWHO.... I am unable to find any records for the MM in Jefferson Co. TN, I think it was New Market! Can anyone please help?? I would also love to find out the names of their children. I know one of them married a SMITH because 5 of his SMITH grandchildren are living with him in Baker Twp, Martin Co. IN in 1850. Here are the census records for a 30 yr period between 1850 and 1880: 1850 Benj. COOPER listed as 63 Yrs old b. in SC Susan his wife was listed as born in NC age 58 Grandchildren: Benj.
