↑ Tennessee State Marriages, 1780-2002 [database on-line].
Name: J W Gipson Gender: Male Marriage Date: 27 Feb 1878 Marriage Place: Jackson, Tennessee, USA Spouse: Emaline Skinerborn
↑ They were living in the same household in the 1880 census but not the 1900 census, in which they each gave their marital status as widowed. They may have divorced, but no evidence for a legal divorce has been found, and it appears that John did not remarry in spite of the fact that he apparently had children by Emeline's sister Rebecca after 1880.
