G. Boggan C.P. ---------- Monroe County, Mississippi 12-31-1842 Joseph L. Gibson signed the marriage bond for John P. Gibson & Margaret Williams. Some Gibson researchers believe that this indicates that JOSEPH GIBSON was Joseph "L" since his son Joseph L. Gibson would only have been 15 years old at this time (age based on the 1850 Census). Dianne Blankenstein believes this to be incorrect. The birth date for son Joseph L. Gibson has been recorded in articles as 1816 thus making him 25 at the time of the marriage bond. JOSEPH GIBSON had only 3 sons & 1820 Census shows all 3 had been born and were under 10 at that time - this also supports the 1816 birth date. The age of wife LYDIA was 73 in the 1850 Census (earlier census records support this age for her) & it is unlikely that she had a son at the age of 49 (if Joe L. was born in 1826) - it is more likely the age 25 on the 1850 Census for Joseph L. Gibson is incorrect & should have been 35 instead. --------- Monroe County, Mississippi Deed Book 11 Page 49 1842 Deed ) GIBSON ) to ) Thurman ) This Indenture made and entered into this twenty first day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty two between JOSEPH GIBSON and LYDIA GIBSON his wife of the first part and Guthredge Thurman of the second part all of the state of Mississippi and County of Monroe witnesseth that the said party of the first part for and in consideration of the sum of Four hundred Dollars lawful money of the United States of America therein hand paid by the said party of the second part at or before the ensealing and delivery of these presents the receipt whereof is herby acknowledged, and the said party of the first part his heirs executors and administrators forever released and discharged from the same by these presents hath granted bargained sold alined, remised, released, enfossed?, conveyed and confirmed unto the said party of the second part, his heirs and assigns forever all of the following tract of land to wit the east fraction of south fractional half of fractional section no Eight in Fraction Township no twelve of Range ?m Eight east containing two hundred and seven acres be the same more or less lying in the state of Mississippi and county of Monroe together with all and singular the tenants, hereditaments, rights, members, privileges and appurtenances unto the above mentioned and described premises belonging or in any wise appertaining to have and to hold the above granted and described premises with the appurtenances unto the said party of the second part his heirs and assigns forever and the said JOSEPH GIBSON and LYDIA GIBSON his wife for their selves their kins the above described and hereby granted and released premises and every part and parcel thereof with the hereditaments and appurtenances unto the said party of the second part his heirs and assigns against the said party of the first part and his heirs and against all and every person and persons whosoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same shall and will warrant and by these presents forever defend.
