Gideon1 Gibson, born say 1695, settled near the Roanoke River in North Carolina about 1720. He purchased 200 acres in what was then Chowan County on the south side of the Roanoke River on 24 July 1721 [DB C-1:142]. He acquired over one thousand acres of land in present-day Halifax County, North Carolina, and on the north side of the Roanoke River in Northampton County. He married Mary Brown sometime before 22 October 1728 when they sold 150 acres "bounded according to the Will of William Brown Gentl decd..." [Bertie DB C:36]. She was under the age of eighteen when her father made his 15 December 1718 Chowan County will, proved July 1719, by which he gave her and each of her six siblings 150 acres [N.C. Archives File SS 841]. Gideon, or Gibby Gibson, must have impressed the other prosperous free African Americans in that area of North Carolina because three of them named their children after him: Gideon/Gibby Chavis, Gideon/Gibby Bunch, and Gibson Cumbo. Many of the well-to-do Gibson and Bunch families married whites and were considered white after a few generations.

The continuous legacy community of Cheraw, MS did the work on this line and working it backwards with the information in the source and media files is on the few lines that working backwards from their Chavis, Bennett, and Reed ancestors along with their Thompson Cemetery Ancestors who enrolled with Mt Tabor as Cheraw and to this day, continue to do so, is the information given to the team of hundreds who worked on this line.

The Murphy wife is not in this line of Gibson and there were at least 5 Gideon Gibsons.

Trader Gideon Gibson of the Congaree River

@David Cremeans
Can ayone show a document, source, even circumstancial evidedence that Gideon or his wife was ever on the Congaree River? I have googled Gideon Gibson - Mary Ann Gibson+Congaree and the only thing comes up is on Geni

Gideon was first granted land but never lived on it, it was sold in the 1740s, his land then was on the Pee Dee, all land records I have found for Gideon Gibson I or Gideon Gibson II was on the Pee Dee River - Craven Co etc.

The Congaree is only around 50 miles long, and is a distance from the Pee Dee, I believe. There is a map of Saxe Gotha - Fort Congaree at the link below with some information on Gideon Gibson who lived on the Pee Dee River.

Roger Gibson came to SC with Gideon another brother, father of Luke and Susannah was with Roger, Luke was a Cherokee Trader. They lived on Wateree, etc...

Capt Charles Russell is found in Henrico Co Va, in records with Gilbert Gibson, son of John Gibson. Likely Cherokee Traders, Gilbert, John, and a Daniel are found on the Congaree Fort Map in 1759 Link below.

========================

History of Old Fort Congaree
Established in the fall of 1718 by Captain Charles Russell and a dozen men as a fort and trading post. Built as a three sided palisaded fort with the fourth side along the river. The two land side corners each had a bastion and the entrance was protected with a ravelin. A ditch surrounded the three land sides. The post was located along the Cherokee Path.

In 1722 the government withdrew the garrison and turned the fort and the remaining provisions over to the settlers in the area. The post operated for several more years but by the time the New Fort Congaree was established in 1748 the old fort was gone. Between Congaree Creek and Congaree River, Lexington County, South Carolina.
