I don't know your family unless you're related to Laura Gibson Clardy who is also of Spring Valley, AR, however, here are a few hints for Indian research. I have the book Vital Info. from the Guion Miller Roll (Eastern Cherokee Court of Claims) 1906-1909, 2 vols. There are 3 pages of Gibsons listed, no Margaret E. Gibson listed. However, there are a few Gibsons listed as living in Spring Valley, AR, and AR in general. You would need to see the applications for these and maybe others to see if any additional children are included in the app. Parents often included the kids in the app but are not listed in the index. These records are available on film thru the LDS library. I do have some copies of the Gibsons ECA's (Eastern Cherokee Applications)......most if not all the Gibsons claims were rejected...not enough proof of Indian blood.
I also have then Dawes Commission book on the 5 civilized tribes. 1893-1914. The appendix lists tribal roll sources for the Cherokee, Delaware, Shawnee, Eastern Shawnee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole tribes.
I would be happy to share what I have and help you if I can. If it turns out that you are related to the Laura Gibson I mentioned, your in luck as I have had contact with a descendant, Steve Clardy who should still be around and perhaps still on the list here at Rootsweb.
