Regarding the surnames Gibson and Anthony. In a book compiled by Rosalie Edith Davis entitled Louisa County, Virginia, Tithables and Census, 1743-1785, there are many listings for the surname Gibson (most are males, of course) and a few listings for Anthony. I note that the surname Gibson (with some females of that name) are indexed in Mrs. Davis's book Louisa County, Virginia Deed Books A and B, 1742-1759. In the event that you may want to purchase Mrs. Davis's well abstracted and indexed books on Louisa Co. and a couple on Hanover Co. (which has so many missing records), this is her e-mail address. I find her books are reasonably priced, and the indexes alone will save you hours of squinting over microfilm (which I also do, but with less pleasure, because I cannot take them home and ponder them!) [email protected] (W Davis) I do not know how long these books will be on the market as they are self-published and were compiled in the 1970s. Many mentions are made of early residents of Hanover Co., which helps put those persons in a time and in a place. E.W.Wallace
