    1. [TXCOOKE] FERGUSONS and GIBSONS in Gainesville c. 1880-1890 or later

    3. Hi, All -- I am searching for information on the family of WILLIAM GIBSON, born in England (date/place unknown) and WIFE. According to family lore, William was a courier or spy during the Civil War and died at some point during the conflict. His family in England were reportedly well-known cheese producers. I have practically no information on his wife; her name might possibly have been 'Harriet,' and according to census records she was born in Louisiana. Are there any descendants out there who have more information on these two, or their descendants? I'm really stuck! William's children were: William, b. 1846 in LA, d. 1902; buried North Hickory Cemetery, Ada, Pontotoc Co., OK S. H., [male] b. 1848 in LA, d. 1901; buried North Hickory Cemetery, Ada, Pontotoc Co., OK Charlotte, b. abt. 1850 in LA (possibly Shrevesport); died ~ 1902 in Allen, Pontotoc Co., OK (burial place unknown) Mary, b. abt. 1852 in LA; d. (Unknown) [and possibly others] Additional Info: I am the great-granddaughter of Charlotte GIBSON FERGUSON. Charlotte married Allen Brant FERGUSON abt. 1880 in Cooke Co. (probably Gainesville), Texas. Allen B. was b. 1844 in Marion Co., Tennessee. Allen already had 2 daughters by a previous marriage to Martha Helen Beauchamp: Helen Carolina ("Carrie") Ferguson, born abt. 1877 Mary Alice ("Allie") Ferguson, born 27 October 1878 Charlotte and Allen B. had 4 children: ADDIE LEE ("Ad") b. 1881 in/near Gainesville, Cooke Co., TX; d. 1962 in Yuma, AZ WILLIAM Ira ("Bill") b. 1884 in/near Gainesville, Cooke Co., TX; d. 1964 in Cortez, Montezuma Co., CO DELIA ANN ("Dee") b. ~ 1886 in/near Gainesville, Cooke Co., TX; d. (date/place unknown) FANNIE, b. Dec. 15, 1889 in/near Gainesville, Cooke Co., TX; d. 27 June 1971 in Los Angeles, CA (Fannie was my grandmother.) If anyone has any info on DELIA ANN ("Dee") that would be great, too. The family lost track of her after about 1930. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
