      Daughter Elizabeth's death record names her parents as Nicholas and Elizabeth. Patti Evans says Nicholas married Lydia Sink/s in Harrison Co about 1792-1795. I cannot find this marriage record.

      Smith Gibson bio
      He was born in Braxton Co, WV, Jan 24, 1824, and his grandfather, Nicholas Gibson, was a native of the Old dominion. At the age of eight years the latter was taken captive by the Inidans and held by them until sixteen years of age. They pierced his ears and nose, and at length sold him to the white settlers for a barrel of whiskey. He served his country in the Revolutionary War and spent his last days in Illinois.
