Hiram Gibson was born about 1810, in Burke County, N.C. His parents were George and Lavinia "Vina" Gibson or Gipson. He and his wife Margaret Jones, called Peggy, married March 3, 1835 in Macon County, N.C. They settled in the Sugarfork Community, raised a large family and became successful farmers. Margaret's mother was probably Sylvia, who died by 1880. Her father and stepmother, Walter and Susan Jones, lived with Hiram and Peggy in 1880, as did Hiram’s mother, “Luvine” Gibson. This family appears in some records as "mulatto" or mixed race, and in some records as white.
