In 1838 Elisha GIBSON and Ruth Ann SNOW were married in Morgan County, IN.
There is an entry for an Elisha Gibson and family in the 1840 census for
Hamilton County, and again in 1850.
My question is, does anyone know of Gibson or Snow families that lived in
Morgan County around 1938? I am looking for parents of both of these
people.
Elisha's father may have been foreign born. Elisha may have been in Ohio or
Tennessee before coming to Indiana.
Ruth Ann's census records show that she was born in Kentucky. She may have
had a brother who was married to a woman named Malinda. They had two
daughters named Nancy and Rachel. Malinda and the girls lived next door to
the Gibsons in Hamilton County in 1850 but the husband/father was not
listed.
Elisha and Ruth Ann had about eleven children in Indiana before moving to
Kansas about 1858. One of them, John S. Gibson, may be my great
grandfather.
All help will be greatly appreciated.
