From Sarah Ann Gibson Roepke  April 10, 2007                                                                                     

 Descendants of William Gibson

 

I am of the opinion that William Gibson  comes down from the line of Valentine Gibson b. 1723  Hanover Co VA  d. after 1800 Stokes Co NC and Nancy Francis Garrett  b.  abt. 1725 .  I believe he is either Valentine and Nancy Francis Gibson's last son William Gibson b. 1770  and brother to Archibald Gibson, Sr.  and  Ezekiel Gibson.  All 3 were in Floyd Co KY in 1820. 

 

or  he is a grandson of Valentine Gibson, William Gibson b. 1771   to James Thomas Gibson, Sr. b. 1750   d. 1835 Knox Co KY  and Sarah Roark b. Abt. 1750 Anson Co NC.
