Hello everyone, John and Frances B. Gibson lived at an estate called Fleetwood in the Brentsville area of the county. I wonder if anyone knows of repositories of personal papers for this couple. Recently, I have become interested in their slaves-some of the servants carried the last name CHINN which is the surname of my ancestors. There were at least two groups of black Chinns in Prince William County--the descendants of Mary Jane Chinn--my group--lived around Woodbridge. The other black Chinns belonged to John and Frances B. Gibson. To date, I don't see any blood connection between the two. Sorry to ramble-- I will be glad to answer questions about black Chinns of Prince William County if anyone so desires. I've been through many Gibson public records-- now I'm hoping to see some private ones. Rhonda Jackson
