Hi~
I don't know when or why their surname spelling changed, but I do know that census takers are notorious for misspelling names they aren't familiar with, which could account for at least some of the variation in spellings found.
The furthest back I've researched on the Guiberson line is to Samuel Allen Guiberson (1781-1850), so there could very well be a connection to the Hocking Co., Ohio Guibersons, but I don't know what it is.
I'm sorry I'm not more helpful!Good luck with your research!Take care!
