Can anyone help <wcddhd@cstone.net> ----- Original Message ----- From: William Dirickson To: doreatr@rbnet.com Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2008 3:17 PM Subject: Gibson Family of Floyd Count Rena - I am researching my son-in-law's family. His ancestor was Theoderick Thomas Gibson. Believe me the first name was mangled throughout the 30 years of census data I have found. In 1860, he is in Simpsons, Floyd County. He was married to Nancy M. I'm dying to know if she was from Floyd Co or if he was the son of a Gibson family in Floyd. By 1880, they were in Blackwater, Franklin Co. Their oldest child was Peter Lenan Gibson (1856-1926), who is the direct ancestor. I would appreciate any help that you could provide.

I found this information in Marriages of Franklin County, 1853-1875, by Beverly Merritt, page 19. Theoderick* F.
