Captain James Thomas Gibson, Sr.

Notes

James Gibson was born either in Hanover or Halifax Co., Va. James Gibson and his father, Valentine Gibson are in Surly Co, NC in John Deathrages's district on July of 1774. He md Sarah probably in 1776 in Surry Co., N.C. On 2 Sep 1778 there was a deed for Garrett (sp) Gibson which included James Gibson's plantation in Surry Co., N.C.

On 10 Nov 1779 he was ordered to view a road in Surry Co. along with David Rowark, Garret Gibson & others. It is very possible he was the James Gibson who served in the Revolutionary war and was paid for Public Claims with vouchers numbers 23370 and 2350 dated 31 Aug 1782 and signed by Charles Bruce and Tragott Bagge. Traggott Bagge was paymaster for the upper district and was a resident of Salisbury District. He appeared in the 1784-1787 State Census for N.C. in Capt. Gaines District which was taken by Mattw. Moore, J.P. He is recorded as having I white males between 21-60 years old; 2 white males under 21 and above 60; 3 white females all ages in his household. Other Gibsons in the 1784-1787 Census: Voll. Gibson, Garrott Gibson, John Gibson, William Gibson.

He is on the jury along with others on IO Aug 1785 in a court case Phebe Summer vs David Rowark

His name is mentioned in another court case 2nd Thursday Nov 1788 State vs Jonathan Harold with the following Gibsons as witnesses: Archelouis Gibson (Archelaus), Garrott Gibson; John Gibson; James Gibson

The same Gibson names now appear in the records of Knox Co., Ky. therefore, we believe James moved there in about 1805.

there is not enough proof to name for certain the children of James & Sarah Gibson. It is with hesitancy the following are listed. They are only listed with the hopes that someone might come up with the proof needed. We only know that they had eight children in the 1790 Census in Stokes Co., N. C. - 5 boys and 3 girls and they probably had more children after 1790.
