Hi, looking for info on Henry GIBBS born c.1710 married Ann (___?___). Henry gave land on 12 Dec 1759 to his daughters MARY and Prisila, wives of Jacob and Anthony TULY. He also gave land on 28 Feb 1753 to his daughter Sarah and husband John JENNETT. He had 3 sons (there could have been more): William GIBBS married Cassandra SELBY, daughter of Samuel SELBY, Sr.; Joseph GIBBS married Mary BRINSON, daughter of Cason and Francis (MARSH) BRINSON, and Henry GIBBS. In a Hyde Co. deed Henry GIBBS is said to be the brother-in-law of William SPENCER.

GIBBS / LOCKER
Ann McWhirter January 8, 1998
Cason GIBBS (c.1749-c.1828) had at least15 children by three wives: (1) Dinah BARTEE, (2) Nancy LOCKHART, and (3) Pheba HARRIS. His daughter Elizabeth (c1780-c1841/9) married (1) Benjamin WESTON and (2) Richard SPENCER. Does anyone know which wife was Elizabeth's mother? Also, where did the name LOCKER come from or what does it mean in this case? I ask because Clara Jane SPENCER, the granddaughter of Cason GIBBS and the daughter of Elizabeth GIBBS and Richard SPENCER, named her only daughter Narcissus Locker (Locha) GORDON. I have always wondered where that name came from. Are you able to shed any light on this situation?

Larry Gibbs February 22, 1999
I am trying to determine origin of my great great grandfather, Jesse GIBBS, born in 1816, in Warren Co., TN. Warren Co. originally was part of White Co., TN. Your list on the Hyde Migrations Page shows the following: Bartee, Benjamin, Casin (Cason), Jesse and Uriah GIBBS. Can you provide any more info on these people, such as birthdates, relationship to each other, etc.? There have been suggestions from Warren Co. research that my Jesse may have been the son of Uriah, or of an earlier Jesse. The earlier Jesse GIBBS is mentioned in a Warren Co. history, as being in his twenties and a Captain in the War of 1812, but no military record has ever been located by myself. I am wondering if the Jesse GIBBS listed in the Hyde Co. migrations may have been the same as Jesse who was in War of 1812; and if my GGGF may have been his son, or his brother's (Uriah??) son. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have been trying to locate this info for ten years.

GIBBS / COX
Jimmy Smith May 28, 1999
I am looking for any accurate information as to family of Charity GIBBS who is believed to have been born in Hyde County. Our information thus far as to parents, grandparents and great grandparents has apparently been erroneous. She was born February 15, 1810 and died in the St. Johns Community of Pitt County on February 19, 1872. She was married to William COX and had six children: Mary, Martha Ann, Nancy, Eliza Jane, Lewis Bryant and William Henry. She was a once thought to be the daughter of Joseph GIBBS & Elizabeth TOLSON (TOLSTON) GIBBS but she is not listed as one of the children in his will. Another will entry that refers to Charity is a misprint for Charley GIBBS. In all likelihood, she probably did come from Hyde County but we have not been able to find the place of her birth or parents, grandparents or great grandparents. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
GIBBS / FARROW
Jimmy Smith June 16, 1999
I am searching for any information on Charity GIBBS (b.02/15/1810-d. 02/19/1872), who is believed to have been from Hyde County. Charity was married to William COX and had six children named Mary, Martha Ann, Nancy, Eliza Jane, Lewis Bryant, and William Henry. She died in what is known as the St. John's Community of Pitt County approximately two miles west of Coxville and is buried on the farm where she lived until her death. My father's brother and two sisters range from 80 to 90 and cannot remember any history about their great grandmother, Charity, except that they always heard she was from Hyde County. My cousin and my brother have done extensive research in the records of Beaufort, Craven, Hyde and Pitt counties trying to unlock the unknown past of Charity's family. I have also searched all the records that are posted on the web page and found no trace of Charity GIBBS. However, I did discover a Charity A. FARROW and Nancy M. FARROW who were the children of Miles FARROW (deceased) and two more entries of Charity and Naoma(i) M. These two children who were apparently left orphaned by their deceased parents became wards of their guardian who was the wife of Oliver GIBBS. Although I am searching for anything on Charity GIBBS, I am searching for any information on Charity and Nancy FARROW including birth dates as well as Miles and Naoma FARROW. There are three clues that could confirm if Charity FARROW and Charity GIBBS were one and the same person: 1. Charity FARROW's birth date being the same as Charity Gibbs. 2. Charity A. FARROW's middle name being Ann. 3. One of Charity GIBBS' daughters being named after Charity FARROW's sister, Nancy M. FARROW. I am attaching text extracted from the Hyde County records that raise my suspicions as to Charity GIBBS and Charity A. FARROW being one and the same person. Any and all information that you can assist me with Charity GIBBS and/or Charity A. FARROW will be greatly appreciated. 202. Oliver GIBBS in right of his wife in account with Charity A. & Nancy M.

GIBBS / CARAWAN / CREDLE
Florence Fulford Moore March 20, 2002
Henry White GIBBS (b ca. 1861-5 probably at Lake Landing, NC, died of pneumonia ca 1905 and is buried in Bayview Cemetery, Beaufort County NC) married Cora Eva CARAWAN, daughter of Richard Benjamin CARAWAN and Susan MIDGETT. Henry and Cora had three children: Mattie Bell, Sallie, and Rufus GIBBS. Rufus married Elsie RADCLIFFE; they had no children of their own but adopted a child named James MALCOLM. (He did not take the GIBBS surname.) Mattie Bell GIBBS married a JARVIS (Foster, I think) and they had three sons: Carl Mack, Henry Lincoln, and Linwood JARVIS (all deceased). Sallie GIBBS married Albert Cartwright CREDLE and had Thelma, Edith, Sidney Arthur, and Bryce CREDLE, of which Thelma and Bryce survive. I am seeking to learn who Henry White GIBBS' father and mother were, but no one seems to know who has the GIBBS family Bible or anything specific about this Henry White GIBBS and his lineage. My mother is Thelma (CREDLE) FULFORD, daughter of Sally and Albert CREDLE. I am trying to weave together her lineage, and although she is 89, she is mentally alert and still relatively spry. She remembered where in Bayview Cemetery that her grandfather was buried from her last trip there when she was about five years old and took me to it without hesitation a couple of Sundays back. Can anyone help me with this particular line of GIBBS as to where they came from, who his parents were, and anything else that can help me to chart this line for her? Some GIBBS researcher is bound to have information on these Hyde County kinfolks. Thank you for any response.

I would very much appreciate your help concerning my family line. My ggrandfather, William GIBBS, was born in White Co., GA a in 1855. His father, either Cornelius or John, was from North Carolina. The only Cornelius I could find was from the Hyde Co. area. Rebecca, was from NC, and was the wife of either John or Cornelius. I found all three names in the Hyde Co. Census. In the 1860 White Co. Census, Cornelius was 30, John was 40 and Rebecca was 23. I found a John in the Hyde Co. 1840 census. I found a Rebecca and Cornelius in the 1850 Hyde Census but no John. William GIBBS, my ggrandfather, named my grandfather Robert Thomas GIBBS (which I see both in a Hyde Census). I found a Cornelius GIBBS, born in 1814 in Hyde County, but he would have been too old. Could it have been his son? In the Georgia Cherokee Land Lottery, 1838, I found three Cornelius GIBBS in Rabun Co., GA. I also found a Cornelius GIBBS married to a Rebecca DECAN in Habersham Co., GA in 1831. I don't know what to think but John, Rebecca and Cornelius are all listed from NC. Please help!

Gladys Shelton January 23, 2002
Will the real William H. GIBBS please stand up? I'm having trouble sorting out my N.C. Gibbs genealogy. I have a William GIBBS migrating to Goose Creek Island. (Pamlico Co. - back then Beaufort). He is there for the l850 census with a one year old male named Nathanial. (Nathanial GIBBS is my great grandfather...thus William is my great, great grandfather.). The census says that William was born in l8l8. An earlier Henry GIBBS was in a Goose Creek Island census in l8l0. He was over 45, making him born before l765. He was only there in that census. Does anyone know who this Henry GIBBS was? Was he the father of William GIBBS... or grandfather? I can't make the connection at this generation so as to go any further back. In l820, there was a GIBBS on Goose Creek Island... a female was head of household. Her name was Sabra. Perhaps Henry died and Sabra remained on the island. If anyone has knowledge of the GIBBS from Hyde Co. and Goose Creek Island, I'd appreciate a reply. Thanks!

I am new to this site. This is a reply to Glady Shelton's query on William S. GIBBS. William S. GIBBS was the father of Nathaniel Henry GIBBS. He has a brother Zachariah GIBBS (who married 1st - Julia F. WATSON, daughter of William C. and Lovey WATSON and married 2nd - Mary ENSLEY (daughter of ? Father and mother Dealey ENSLEY), sisters Mary A. GIBBS(married a James LEARY, son of Salathiel and Nancy LEARY, on December 17, 1867) and Hannah GIBBS. Nathaniel's mother was Nancy Ann SANDERS or SANDERSON. Believed to be the later surname. Nathaniel was married twice - the 1st to Joanna LEARY (daughter of William and Jane LEARY) and 2nd to Lovey Margaret CARAWAN. They resided on Goose Creek Island. I do not know if there were children from the first marriage but Lovey Margaret had three daughters - Mary (WILKINS), Patsey Elizabeth(GIBBS), Elsie Ann (HENRIES). It is believed by what research I have found that William S. GIBBS, lost his father at an early age - believed at present to be Henry GIBBS. By records, William S. GIBBS' guardian by court records was a J. SPENCER. Please email me if you have other records.

Harriett Harris Riggs August 4, 2004
It seems reasonable to me that Esther, wife of Capt. Joseph GIBBS was possibly a MORGAN. We believe she was Mrs. Esther EWELL as Capt. Joseph bought all of the estate of her deceased husband? and married her. Their children were: Esther, Elizabeth, Charles GIBBS (oldest), Benjamin, Amy and again David Morgan GIBBS. Charles also named a child David Morgan GIBBS. If I remember correctly Esther EWELL had a daughter who is not known again. Is she possibly one of the daughters we have named as Capt. Joseph GIBBS's children? It appears the name MORGAN comes through Esther. Would appreciate answers to this if anyone knows differently.

I'm trying to identify Rebecca GIBBS, born 1829, who was enumerated in the household of BALLANCE family with Rebecca GIBBS, 54 and her sons, Thomas M., David M., & Joseph Benjamin GIBBS in 1850 Hyde Co. census. Rebecca born 1829 is not listed in estate of Charles GIBBS, nor in will or estate records of Rebecca GIBBS who wrote her will in 1849 and died 1852/53. Charles' estate also includes son, Riley Murray GIBBS as well as the other sons. States his only children. Rebecca (b1829) is still alive in 1870 census who married David A. HATHAWAY in 1853 in Hyde Co. Others have suggested she might be Charles' daughter by an earlier marriage to Sophia GIBBS (dau. of Thomas & Jennie GIBBS). Also that Sophia GIBBS & Rebecca married to Charles are sisters. Ivy GIBBS is reputed to be their brother. If she had been Charles' daughter, she would have been included at least in the estate records. Anyone with information, please respond to 919-787-2770.

I am searching for any information on Joseph Burns GIBBS from Engelhard.

His parents are Christianna and Nathaniel GIBBS, who are listed, but we need a bit more. He is my great, great grandfather. I am in search for info because my father is trying to join the Sons of Confederate Veterans and in order to join he needs exact information on the Company as well as Regiment that his great grandfather served in; a copy of the muster record to be exact. We don't have any relatives who remember him well enough to provide more details. Do you happen to know of whom we may contact to get more information? I appreciate any leads that you may have.

My great-grandfather was named Henry Harrison Gibbs and he lived in Mill Spring and is buried at the Coopers Gap Cemetery. Is it possible that he was a grandson of Henry Gibbs, Sr.? We are just curious and are looking for relatives in the NC area. Thank you for your time.
GILES
Carol Giles September 26, 2002
Looking for where William GILES moved after his father's death in 1837. He was executor for his father John GILES's estate and is listed in the Hyde County census in 1840 but not after that. I know that he married Sally BERRY (d/o John BERRY, Sr. & Rebecca BENSON) and they had at least one child, John Taylor GILES, but I can't find where they were. John Taylor GILES is buried in Hyde County, in Soule Cemetery. I have a picture of the headstone his grandson Marshall RADCLIFF placed on the grave. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
GOLDEN / GOLDING / GOULDING
Christine Cox November 15, 2000
I'm trying to search a lead on my family. The surname I'm searching is GOLDEN (GOLDING, GOULDING). My father has always told me that we had a GOLDEN in the Lake Mattamuskeet area who married an Indian woman. They had 7 to 8 sons. Unfortunately, right now that's about all the information I have. I don't know what year or anything. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks.
GOWER / NEAL / SWINDELL

My father, Rufus Hoyt GOWER, was born in Hyde County. His Father was Seth Henry GOWER and his mother was Susan (Sudie A. SWINDELL. His grandfather was James Henry GOWER and his grandmother was Francis E. NEAL. His greatgrandfather was Joseph G. GOWER and his greatgrandmother was Elizabeth J. ??? All of these people were from Hyde County. This is as far back as I have been able to go. There are no wills on record in Hyde Co. or in the archives in Raleigh. My father said his grandfather brought the brick from England to build his home in Hyde Co. I would appreciate any information on these people including the site of any graves. Many Thanks.
GRADELESS
James Hodges Gradeless June 19, 1997
I am researching the GRADELESS family in Beaufort County. Timothy Gradeless came to the area from Dorchester County in Maryland. I am trying to make connections between Timothy GRADELESS, who appeared in the Hyde County in 1749 (North Carolina Record of Deeds A, 1736-1762), with John GRADELESS who was in the 1790 Federal Census in Beaufort County (age 17), or with any GRADELESS that prceeded him. Also, Amariah B. GRADELESS appears on the 1850 Census in the household of Redding GRADELESS and is listed as a farmhand. I know that Amariah GRADELESS was not the son of Redding. I would like to determine who Amariah's father was. Any one with documentation on these persons who can make connections would sure be appreciated.

GURGANUS (All spellings)
Ray Gurganus April 10, 1997
I have compiled a database of all the GURGANUS's (including all spelling variations) that I have been able to find, dating from the 1800's and back. I included those at my local LDS Family History Center, all the data others have sent me, and other bits and pieces I picked up along the way. At this point, it has over * 1100 * people, mostly GURGANUS's and the rest spouses and children of females whose maiden name is GURGANUS. A lot of the families are connected, while a lot of others are waiting to be connected. I would like to include any information you may have. Let me know if you would like a copy of my data. I can send a gedcom or if you would prefer, a text report of some kind. Also, if you know of any other GURGANUS (any spelling variation) researchers, please pass this message on to them, or pass their address on to me.
