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.
James Gibson, the father of our subject, was born and reared in Virginia, and became a bricklayer. At the age of 18 he was united in marriage with Nancy Smith, whose father was a native of Ireland and her mother of Germany. Her death occurred in the Old Dominion and he then wedded Patience Ochiltree. Emigrating to Illinois, they located on the farm which is now the home of our subject, and in a log cabin on the whild prairie they began life in true pioneer style. Both are now deceased, Mr Gibson dying at the age of sixty-six years. There were ten children born of the first marriage: Catherine and Elmira, who died in Virginia; Mary, who is living in Nebraska, Amy, who was married and died in Clay Co, Ill; Smith, of this sketch; Elijah, who is living near the old home in VA; Emily, who died in that State; Permelia, who died in Richland County; Temperance, who is living in the Old Dominion; and Mason, who died in Montana.
