Valentine Gibson


Partial List of Tithables  Deep and Flatt Creeks Amelia County Virginia, 1745

22 August 1751 O. S., Page 353Ordered that William Thurman, Richard Thurman, John May, Richard Bennett, James Bennett, James Nicks, James Doss, John Shinnaison, William Roberts, Valentin Gibson, Elisha Lyon, Edward Nicks, James Lax, Benjamin Nicks, William Nicks and Valentine Nicks Work on the Road that James Nicks is Surveyor of.
22 August 1751 O. S., Page 350 Ordered that James Nicks be appointed overseer of the Road from the Ridge at the Head of Appomattox River joining of Callaway's Road the best Way to where it Crosses the Said River 




Skinquarter is an unincorporated town located off U.S. Route 360 in the western part of Chesterfield County in Virginia. It is located on the headwaters off Goode's Creek and Skinquarter Creek which flow to different places on the Appomattox River. We have always considered Thomas who married Elizabeth Worley as a possible brother of Valentine mentioned in Thomas' will, we have no DNA connections to those Gibsons however Thomas was noted as raising a 'bastard child' in 1698. 





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We have five Y DNA tests that prove Valentine's descendants but have not found Thomas, John, or William Robinson mentioned in Thomas' will.  Eunice Nicks, Frances Humphrey and Mary Brooks all show up in our autorsomal DNA.  

Eunice named her first son Valentine Gibson Nicks born about 1714 as he is a witness to a Bunch deed in 1734, Valentine born in 1723  would seem to indicate Thomas' wife or mother was from the Valentine/Garret families.
