Gibsons and Garmons - Knoxville, TN
I have new information that has caused me to follow this lead until I am proven that this is not family.Today I received an SS-5 on "a" Samuel Gibson - who I believe just might be my Grandfather.(Better be for $27.00! - haha)
Data as listed on the SS-5:
Samuel Gibson, b.9/1/1878 in Knoxville, TN to James Gibson and Florence (Garmon) Gibson.This Samuel applied for his SS# in 1940 in Cleveland, OH.292-18-7154At that time he was 62 years old and already widowed.I believe this Samuel remarried and died in Jan 1964 TN (?)I have since sent for and am awaiting receipt of a TN DC for this Samuel.
Now, "My" Samuel, my Grandfather Samuel, was likewise born in TN.He also was widowed before 1940 - my Grandmother Mary "Mollie" (Brown) Gibson died sometime around 1925.My Samuel also lived in Cleveland, OH.I have since found "living" Gibson relatives (!!!) and was told that my Grandfather lived to be quite old, but was not told a death year.It is unknown.
Any help would be appreciated!
