    Notes:

    Deed:
    No year mentioned on this deed:

    400 acres on Moffett's branch of Cathey's River; Ralston's Path. Originally patented to William King 10 Feb 1748. Delivered to Alexander Gibson. (Book 2-395)

    This land record was originally published in "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, 1745-1800. Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County" by Lyman Chalkley.


    Bond:
    Alexander Gibson qualifies as Admin for his deceased father, Daniel Gibson, Elizabeth, the relict having refused.

    Court:
    Hemp crops were common in the 18th century. Hemp fibers are exceptionally strong and durable, and in an era before science could do better, that made this a commodity worth growing.

    Custody of GC:
    Morton's Annals of Bath, referring to the adoptions of William's children by their grandfather Gibson, says he "absconded" It is believed the word is too ? and was used in-advisedly, since the records show he was in touch with his family after that time. The adoption papers refer to him as "having moved out of the colony."

  3. 4.  Elizabeth GibsonElizabeth Gibson Descendancy chart to this point (1.Alexander1) was born in 1735 in Augusta County, Virginia; died in 1771 in Augusta County, Virginia.

    Notes:

    Died:
    She was not mentioned in her father's will of 1782, so she died before that time. Her last child, Daniel was born in 1769, and William McFarland was found in Wolf Creek by 1771, and Alexander Gibson and petitioned the court of custody of the children, saying their father was gone and they were not being properly cared for. So I'm assuming Elizabeth died between 1770 and 1775.

    Elizabeth married William McFarland in 1755 in Augusta County, Virginia. William (son of Duncan McFarland and Elizabeth Ann Porter) was born in 1730 in Augusta County, Virginia; died in February 1791 in Round Mountain Area, Wythe County, VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Died:
    Burial: Neel Family Cemetery, Cove Creek, Tazewell County, Virginia Death date is assumed because she was recorded in 1830 census but not 1840, and because of the belief that her children refrained from selling their father's land until after her death.
