I have no other information on Gideon at this point in time. The rumors of the Cherokee connection is one of the things I am trying to pin down. My grandfather told of his grandmother being full blooded Cherokee. This would be Elizabeth Chase Forrest, wife of Silas Forrest,and mother of Gideon. The strongest rumor indicates that Silas's sister Mahala was half Cherokee. Was Silas half Cherokee also or was Mahala a step sister? If Silas and his other brothers were also half Cherokee, then Alice Williams Forrest, wife of William Forrest was the fullblooded Cherokee. I'll try to keep you abreast of any new findings.
Wouldyou consider sharing a copy of Gideons Death Certificate? I would love to see it.
