Person:Robert Gibson (11)

!Marriage: 16 Oct 1782. Probably incorrect since Robert and Polly would have

only been 12 years old and 8 years old, respectively.  More research needed.

!Additional generations past Robert Gibson verified from the records of Mr.

Mark J. Hadley, 886 Douglas Dr., Brigham City, UT 84302 (telephone conversation
with Kimber Norton Blatter 8/94).
Sources:  Traveled through South Carolina on a genealogical research trip in
  5/92.  Came across a book in a library in a small town in South Carolina that
  verified many of the people in our pedigree.  Met a professional genealogist
  in South Carolina named Miss Connie Andrea, who has researched this family.
  Notes from his meeting with her follow:
  - "G.W. Gibson, who we believe to have had a brother, Robert."
  - "Mary Ann and George W. Gibson left Union County, circa 1843 and went to
    Chickasaw, Monroe County, Mississippi."
  - "Mary Evans came from Nova Scotia in Canada."
  - "I have records of many families in Laurens, Union, and Newberry which all
    adjoined, who were Torries and left during the Revolutionary War for Nova
    Scotia... in the various county seats will be found various petitions from
    Nova Scotia praying that they be allowed to return and claim their lands
    after the Revolution."
  - "...I do know some of the EVANS in that area were Torries and were
    banished... some likely came back.

source.  They have a family reunion every few years in Grafton, Utah.  Mr.
Hadley has attended several times.
