Notes:

Looking for parents of John Gibson who lived in Warren County, Ga. from early 1790's to mid 1820's and died in Campbell Co., Ga. in 1829. His children were Nancy married John Gorman, John Jr. married Frances "Fanny" Flewellen, Churchill, Henry, and Sarah married Isaiah Tucker. In 1902, a great-granddaughter published that he was son of Gideon Gibson, but that doesn't seem to work. He
appears to be the brother of the Churchill Gibson who died in Warren Co., Ga. in 1805. Any information would be appreciated.

I'm from Nancy's (who md John Gorman) line...all your data seems to jive with what I have...I too had some doubts re: the reference to John Gibson being son of Gideon, but found in the Habersham Chapter DAR Book of 1902 that you refer to that the gr granddaughter referred to both Gorman and Gibson family Bibles as well as her memory (she was born ca 1830)...I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt since she was a lot closer to the events than we are today. What data do you have that leads you away
from Gideon?

John married Mary LOCKETT about 1758. Mary was born about 1740; died in Deceased. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
