I am new to the list and trying to sort out the GIBSON family of Scott County, Va. William K. Gibson married to Polly Gilliam in Scott County in 1835 and is found on the 1850 census. They had moved to Morgan Co., Ky., by 1856. Polly's family is found online as William G. Gilliam and Nancy Ferguson but I haven't a clue as to who William K.'s parents or siblings were. I am fairly certain that most, if not all, of the Gibson on the 1850 census of Scott County are descendants of Thomas Gibson who died about 1734 in Hanover/Louisa Co., Va. There appears to be ties also to Hawkins/Hancock Co., Tenn and Floyd, Cumberland and Morgan Co., Ky as well. Would like to hear from anyone who might be able to help sort these families out. Thanks.
