I am looking for my grandfather Silas Madison Gibson,possibly born in LA. He and his very young wife, Lela, lived in TX. Their first son, my father, Cecil was born in Madisonville, second son Charles, and daughter Lavern was born in Normangee. Silas' wife, Lela Jimenez, was Cherokee and Hispanic.Silas had 9 children with his first wife, name unknown. I think these sons and families live around Lake Limestone in Tx. I'm guessing that Silas died around 1931-34 because in 1933, my father was placed in the Corsicana Orphanage.
A 1920 Madison County census showed Silas M. Gibson age 64 born in LA in 1856 and married to Lela age 17 born in TX in 1903.Lela died around the age of 26.
Could these be any connection to your Gibson's?
