Ezekiel Gibson

There are so very many trees at ancestry that have placed Valentine Gibson as father of Ezekiel born 1760 died before 1828 in Floyd Co., Kentucky. 


It is wrong.



This is a typical tree from ancestry.com for Ezekiel showing father as Valentine.




Note above Ezekiel died in 1828, we know he died because his wife was remarried by  1828.  

And here we find Ezekiel, son of Valentine, on the 1830 census in Scott Co., Virginia.






Valentine's  son Ezekiel is still living in Stokes County, North Carolina on the land of Valentine Gibson, sells the land in 1807 but is living near his mother Elizabeth Gibson in 1820 in North Carolina still.  These Gibson Deeds show Valentine and Ezekiel were in Stokes County.
