5. John GIBSON (Robert) Born 1740, died in Carter Co., Virginia.

"I believe this is the Gibson who married Chief Cornstalk (Logan) daughter. Chief Logan is the Indian who addressed the Continental Congress and brought the Assemblage to tears (about white man treatment of Chief Cornstalk's tribe). John Gibson went west but later returned to and died in Carter County, Virginia. Had no issue." From Gibson Family Research Paper done by Stephen D. Gibson

John married the Daughter of Chief Cornstalk (Logan) No children.

The following account appears to have an ominous ending for John Gibson:

Account of Cornstalk's killing at Fort Randolph in 1778: http://www.fortrandolph.org/index_files/facts.htm

Henry Aleshite was part of Gen. Hand's Indian campaign, and he was present at Fort Randolph when Cornstalk was killed. He stated that one of the murdered Indians was a white man who was married to Cornstalk's daughter.
