Archibald & Ezekiel Gibson


These are some research notes I have put together that may help to find the parents or siblings of Archibald and Ezekiel Gibson.  Any corrections, comments, or additions are welcome.  


Below is the 67 marker results of a descendant of Archibald and Ezekiel Gibson who many have determined were brothers over the years.  They not only match exactly at 67-67 they also have the same mutation.



FamilyTree DNA says Archibald and Ezekiel are 'very tightly matched.'





The BOLDED 19 is a mutation that only appeared in Archibald's line and that of a James F. Gibson - unknown line - until the recent results of Miles Gibson was added.

Val Van Zee, late admisitrator of the Gibson DNA

Project did a 'Mutation Nodes Chart' where she noted the mutation 19  -- 'Archibald's father or grandfather may have passed the mutation to his descendants."

There are so many lines represented in this project and with none of them having this mutation it is likely this mutation was passed from their father who would appear to be Joel Gibson.



1790 Wilkes County, North Carolina  (Note Jo Nicols next to Ezekiel, Joseph Nicols witnessed the will of Thomas Gibson with Joel and Champ Gibson.)


1800 Ashe County, North Carolina


1810 Floyd County, Kentucky
Joel does not appear on census records, he may be living in a household, not as the head of household or he died between 1800-1810



Notes for Joel Gibson

1751 Granville Co NC [became Orange in 1753] Thomas Gibson received 640 acres on the south side of Flatt River joining John Collins on the "Rocky Branch" He later sells part of this land to Joel Gibson in 1770.  (Joel born 1735-1740 if he is father of Archibald)


5 November 1775  George Gibson Orange County will was proved in May 1776 (WB A:195)  He named his wife Mary. Mentioned but did not name his ''Sons and Daughters now living in the County" and provided for the schooling of his unnamed younger children. Joel Gibson and Lucrecy Collons were witnesses;  Sherwood Parrish and Thomas Gibson, Sr.,  executors.


10 June 1779 Lambeth Dodson entered 228 acres on Guilford County, North Carolina on 9 January 1779.  It was surveyed 10 June 1779 by Joshua Smith, with William Kellam and Joel Gibson acting as chain carriers  The grant was issued 1 March 1780, 228 acres below and in the fork of Mayo River, beginning at a poplar on the south bank of the North Fork of Mayo in the Virginia line, adjoining Joel Gibson and Philip Angling, and including the improvements of Thomas Gibson and Esaw Dodson.

(Note the Lambert Dodson  associated with Joel and Champ Gibson.  This 1733 record puts a George Gibson with the Lambert Dodson family in North Farnham Parish, Richmond, Virginia.  Is this George the same that died 1776 in Orange County with Joel Gibson as the witness?

1780 Joel Gibson was in Wilkes Co North Carolina on the New River where he and Thomas made land entries in 1780. [He owned and sold property on top of Peach Bottom Mountain in Wilkes Co. ]


9 June 1780   Thomas Gibson made a land entry on 9 June 1780 on Cranberry Path in Wilkes Co., N.C. This land was near the South Fork of New River in present day Ashe Co., N.C., entry # 1858 (Wilkes County, North Carolina, Land Entry Book 1778-1781)

SHERIFF'S SALES

Will be sold at Ashe Court House on Saturday the 18th day of June next to satisfy the taxes due for the year 1812,  and the expence and cost of advertising the same.  50 acres of land of Archibald Gipson  on Cranberry Creek



ARCHIBALD & WILLIAM GIBSON

Archibald Gibson was 'said to have been born' in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. I can find no source for this anywhere.  It is possible that someone interpreted the 'born in Pennsylvania' from the 1850 Hendricks County, Indiana census to be a 'mistake' and it was really Pittsylvania.  It may be so but again there is nothing to show that Archibald was born there. 

William Gibson, the Revolutionary Soldier says in his pension application;

He was informed by his mother that he was born in the year 1753 but he has no record of his age. When called into service, he was living in Guilford County N. C.,  (1777) but volunteered in Rowan County in the same state -- He was as he is informed born at Monck's Corner S.C 
 Since the Revolution, he lived 3 years in Guilford County N. C. -- 2 years in Winchester Virginia -- thence 1 year in Rockingham County N.C. -- 12 years in Wilkes & Rowan Counties N. C. -- then about ___ [blank in original] on Clinch River Va, in 1800 he moved to Ky. where he resided until 1829, when he removed to this state and has resided in Boone County & in the same neighborhood for the last two years-- 
Living in Guilford in  1777 puts him there about the same time as Joel Gibson;

10 June 1779 Lambeth Dodson entered 228 acres on Guilford County, North Carolina on 9 January 1779.  It was surveyed 10 June 1779 by Joshua Smith, with William Kellam and Joel Gibson acting as chain carriers.
Came home in Dec of 1777 to find his widow mother had been tied up, beaten, house burnt and property destroyed.

Left Service in Summer of 1782
1782-1785 Guilford Co., NC
1785-1787 Winchester (Frederick Co., Va) 
1787-1788 Rockingham Co., NC
1788- 1800 Rowan and Wilkes Co., NC
1800 live on Clinch River in Virginia then moved to Clay County, Kentucky
1829 moved to Boone Co., Indiana
1832 Applied for pension from Boone Co., Indiana
1835 Died in Boone Co, Indiana

The 1787 Tax list of Wilkes County lists David Gibson and widow Mary Gibson. Could Mary be the widow of George Gibson died 1776 in Orange County?

This William Gibson follows the migration of ArchibaldGibson from Wilkes County to Kentucky, William in Clay

County, and Archibald in Perry County.

Archibald then moved to Hendricks County,Indiana and William Gibson is in the next door county of Boone. Records of these two men are sometimes confused.




Moncks Corners South Carolina

Moncks Corners began as a Trading Post and was the endof the Indian or Cherokee Trading Path in South Carolina. This may be the area where Hubbard Gibson's daughter Mary and possibly Hubbard Junior settled. 

It is interesting to note that a Thomas Gibson born about 1850 in Moncks Corners, South Carolina has a descendant that has tested and results are found at Y Search and is a 63-67 match to Ezekiel and Archibald Gibson, they are not closely related but are related.
