  • Notes 
    • 1880 Census shows a John Gibbon living in Limestone County. Listed with the children is Sarah Gibbon who is the daughter of Liza Jane. John's wife is listed as Julia and there are seven other children ranging from ages 18 to 1 years of age. [this is not our John] I believe it is safe to assume that Liza and John were divorced sometimes between 1864 and 1866. Of Liza's three children with John the oldest two were born in Texas, the youngest was born in Missouri in about 1864. ****1850 census of Dist 72, in Pulaski County, Missouri lists Eliza J. Driskell in the family of John Driskell and Catherine Saltsman Driskell. Image #59 of 95 Respository. John Driskell was on the tax assessment lists for Tarrent County, Texas, from 1860 through 1863. The Saltsman were on the 1870 census records for Pulaski County, MO.
      There were no Sterlings or Gibbons on the census for Pulaski County, MO. for 1860 or 1870. [from Ida]
