• Legal: various, 1727-1731, VA. http://genforum.genealogy.com/gibson/messages/11264.html

Below are some notes from my files. George Rawlinson appears to be the son in law of Gibby Gibson and brother in law of Gilbert in Louisa County. The connection with the Lightfoot family seems to indicate that John and Gideon Gibson may be sons of the old Gibby Gibson. Is the Gideon Gibson, planter of Bertie, below, Gideon of Louisa County, or is he Gideon, brother of Jordan, or are they both the same person? Joanne

Re: Samuel Gibson (was Jordan & William Gibson, sons of Gideon) Posted by: Val Van Zee

Bill, It seems odd, as well as puzzling, that Mrs. Wilson would say that Samuel was born at "Hickory Grove". First, it was not Gideon Gibson (d 1792 MS) who owned this property but his cousin of the same name (d 1781 SC) who owned it. Second, it was not acquired by that Gideon until May 1760 when Samuel would have been 11 years of age: L&R: 25 & 26 Sep 1761 Gideon Gibson, merchant, St. Marks Parish, Craven Co. to Malachi Murfee of same place, for £1400, 462ac in Craven Co., near Pee Dee River, part of 1940ac called Hickory Grove, bounding SW on Paul Trapier & Hundleys; SE on vacant land; NW on Stephen Peek & Paul Trapier (the Mill tract); NE on Paul Trapier (called Campbell's tract) & Stephen Peek. Whereas on 1 Jun 1750 Gov. James Glen granted Daniel Laroache 1940ac in Craven Co., commonly called Hickory Grove; & whereas Laroche on 23 & 24 Jan 1752 sold the 1940ac to George Saxby of Charleston; who conveyed the tract to Paul Trapier; who on 1 & 2 Mar 1759 a part, or 492ac to John Scott; who on 20 & 21 May 1760 sold the 462 to GIBSON: now GIBSON sells to Murfee.
