Hi Jim, Here are the 3 names that the site pulled up.... GIDEON   Sr,   Jacob      Birth: >PA</A>    12 May 1750   Rank: >Trm</A>  >CL</A>   Service: >PA</A>   Death: >DC</A>    3 Mar 1841   Patriot Pensioned:  Yes  Widow Pensioned:  No  Children Pensioned:  No  Heirs Pensioned:  No   Spouse:   (1) Rebecca Sales  GIDEON ,   Peter      Birth: >PA</A>    22 Mar 1752   Rank: >Pvt</A>  >MM</A>   Service: >MD</A>   Death: >VA</A>    5 Feb 1844   Patriot Pensioned:  Yes  Widow Pensioned:  No  Children Pensioned:  No  Heirs Pensioned:  No   Spouse:   (1) Catherine X  GIDEONS ,   Francis      Birth:    31 Jul 1753   Rank: >Capt</A>   Service: >GA</A>   Death: >GA</A>      1830   Patriot Pensioned:  No  Widow Pensioned:  No  Children Pensioned:  No  Heirs Pensioned:  No   Spouse:   (1) Elizabeth Hopkins  There were no Giddens listed....this just means that no one has gone into the DAR under the name Giddens...which probably means that it was Gideon back then...there were 25 Giddings listed but no Edward, James or Rueben. Hope this helps and if you need anything else, I'll be glad to help. Carol Tyler Scarborough China Spring, Tx
