- Hello again David,
The order of wives Grace Green had in the doc "Epps Allied Families and Descendants" I sent to you was wrong. I recently found the attached document "Minutes of Spring Creek Baptist Church of Jackson and Overton Counties" in FamilySearch archives that shows Thomas and Mary (“Polly” Hill) Gibbons along with Elijah Chisum and Lucy (Claiborne) Chisum joined the Spring Creek Baptist Church on June 15, 1804.
September first Saturday 1814 was the last mention of Mary Gibbons (roster). She died about 1818.
September the fourth Saturday 1825 is the first mention of Elizabeth (Hampton) Gibbons when Thomas and Elizabeth were dismissed from the church by letter, transferring to another church. Estimates are Thomas and Elizabeth married around 1820.
I've found the marriage date to Malinda Chisum varies a lot, but the majority state 1797, and their only child Elijah Gibbons born 1798. My guess is she died in childbirth.
Thomas made two humble recantations for being drunk, was made a deacon and served several other functions, then was excommunicated for leaving the church (his wife was still attending according to the roster), then he was reinstated and later appointed deacon again. These are only partial minutes from the church. Would love to know the full story of his life. He seemed to be quite a character.
There is an index at the end, but you will notice either the typist or the original often left off the "s" at the end of Gibbons.
I insist on doing my own research and not simply accepting what everyone else posts on Ancestry and certainly not in the FamilySearch trees, but sometimes, or many times, that research is revised due to new findings. I love "digging for the truth"
Another one of my cousins is the librarian for the Johnson-Johnston-Johnstone DNA Library that includes the Dodson family. He found the following reference I found interesting:
"I borrowed my brother James pony and rode forty miles to Uncle Thomas Gibbons, there being no Baptist Church nearer. He and Aunt Polly were members, father was there at the church meeting on Saturday, when the door was opened for anyone to come forward and join by telling an experience of grace. I went forward immediately. The going forward was such a cross that I hardley knew what I was doing. I told what I had to tell. Only one question was asked me by Nimrod Dodson, who was a leading member of the church namely, Did you ever see that it was just in God to send you to hell? I answered yes for I knew it would not do to say no, although I knew at the time I had not any extraordinary view."
SOURCE: Abner Hills autobiography that appeared in Judge Joe Meridith Hills family book called "A Family History of Hill, Meredith, Liwery 1966."
Researchers Notes This is the Hill- Shropshire- Johnson families of Bartons Creek Dickson County, TN. Interesting Abner Hill's uncle is Thomas Gibbons in the Church of Nimrod Dodson (Pittsylvania Co., Va to Hawkins Co., Tn.)
Hope all is well with you and yours,
Kathy Chambers [3]
