Gibeon ‘Gibb’ Gibson, of Mississippi - The different Gideon Gibsons

• Gideon Gibson (son of Gibeon ‘Gibb’ Gibson & Martha ‘Mary’ Gibson)
• Gideon Gibson (son of Roger Gibson & Mary)

From https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~valvz/genealogy/gibson_of_pee_dee.html

It is impossible to determine from these South Carolina records just how many Gideon Gibsons lived in the Craven County, in the 50 year time span between 1731 and 1781. Four can be easily identified, but there is no reason to assume that there could not have been others:

• A-1 [[Gideon Gibson, of the Pee Dee River Gideon Gibson, of the Pee Dee River] Gideon], the man who came to the attention of Gov. Johnson in 1731, presumable died between 1752-57; m [[Mary Gibson Mary Gibson] Mary Brown]
• A-11 [[Gideon Gibson, the Regulator Gideon Gibson, the Regulator] Gideon], the man who was “the Regulator” and died in Feb 1781, son of Gideon (A-I) and Mary (Brown) Gibson; m [[Martha Gibson Martha Gibson] Martha UNK]
• A-152 [[Gideon Gibson Gideon Gibson] Gideon], a child born 25 Feb 1749, baptized at the Winyaw Church, Prince Frederick Parish, SC on 29 May 1753, son of [[John Gibson John Gibson] John] (A-15) and [[Jemima Gibson Jemima Gibson] Jemima Gibson].
• A-112 Gideon, a child born 2 Oct 1752, baptized at the Winyaw Church, Prince Frederick Parish, SC in June 1753, son of Gideon (A-11) and Martha Gibson. Sic: son of Gibeon ‘Gibb’ Gibson & Martha ‘Mary’ Gibson

Hi Mary Frances Blakemore

I don’t know of a single tree that can be followed, at least at these early dates in South Carolina.

We’re trying to establish on Geni a “best we know so far.”

It looks to me like Valentine Van Zee (2005-2012) at

https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~valvz/genealogy/gibson_of_pee_dee.html

was using a standard register report numbering scheme, where a digit is added for each generation.

So, as example, A (progenitor) has children
A-1
A-2 …

A-1 has children
A-11
A-12 …

A-11 has children
A-111
A-112 …

I don’t have a complete register report from Valentine Van Zee to say for certain.

We’re suggesting here on Geni a variance to this report. It doesn’t look like the “separate” GIBEON Gibson (d. 1792 in Mississippi Territory) was accounted for.

Joanne Pezzullo - was Valentine this one, who has passed away?

“A” would equal the profile currently labeled TBD Gibson, I’ll add the A to his display name so it matches Valentine’s report.

‘A’ Gibson

With the children as I understood from https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000202688975856

Joanne is suggesting adjustments at https://www.geni.com/discussions/275302?msg=1680756

I’ll try to reflect that in the profile.

Hopefully I got this right. I wanted to stay with Valentine’s numbering scheme, if possible, for easy reference to the narrative bits; or cross reference them, anyway.

Added to ‘A’ Gibson

From Joanne Pezzullo 3 February 2024, https://www.geni.com/discussions/275302?msg=1680756)

• A. (Gideon Gibson (of Virginia) (c. 1665 - aft 1731) 'the father of them here is named Gideon' (“them here” = Roger, John, Daniel, Gideon and Jordan)
  • A-1. Gideon Gibson, Senior (c1695/8-betw 1752-57) Gideon Gibson, of the Pee Dee River
    • A-11. Gideon Gibson (c1722-1781), “the Regulator” m. Mary Browne
  • A-2. Jordan Gibson (c1708-1788TN) Jordan Gibson, Sr. m. Hannah
  • A-3. Hannah (Gibson) Sa(u)nders Murfee (c1711-1769/73) m. She first married George Saunders/Sanders and second Malachi Murfee/Murphy.
  • A-4. Roger Gibson (c. 1690s-living on Wateree 1730s). (No son Gideon in his Will).
  • A-5. John Gibson (c. 1690s - living at the Congaree Fort).
    • A-51. Gibeon Gibson (c. 1720-1792) m. Martha.
  • A-6. Daniel Gibson.

Val's work was superb, however she passed away I think it was 2011, so much of her research needed to be updated.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Since 2011 there’s been a book published, a documentary, more record availability, and more DNA testing, to say the least. But it’s the analysis that will get us looking better.

Finally found the Heinegg study.
