Pam, I checked (or re-checked, at my age, one never knows) on Theodric Thomas Gibson and could find nothing. The name sounds so familiar to me, but so does mine sometimes. He could be in Tazewell County in later years. Lots of Gibson's in Tazewell Co. The 1850 Tazewell Co. census might give you a clue. Jack B. Akers **************Need a new ride?
