John Gibson, our "brickwall", was born in Pa. in 1813. When he was about 3, his
mother died, and his father moved him to Ohio to live with his grandparents. Later he was
apprenticed to an uncle where he learned the carpenters trade. His future wife, Mary
Allenduff, lived in Butler Co, Ohio, and then, the Frederick Allenduff family moved to
Fountain Co in 1828. John and Mary were married in 1833. In all this history, the only
names we have been given are John Gibson, no parents, grandparents, or aunt or uncle
names. Think John's aunt and uncle must have lived in or near Fountain Co, while he
was apprenticed. Just trying to figure out where to look.
Any ideas? All thoughts welcomed.
