1835, in Daviess County (now McLean County), and is the third of seven 
children born to William T. and Jemima (Baird) Gibson, the former a 
native of this county, and a son of John Gibson, and the latter a 
native of Bardstown, Ky.  The subject of this sketch was brought up 
on a farm, and received a good common school education; he lived with 
his parents until he was twenty-one years of age, when he commenced 
the battle of life for himself.  He now owns 400 acres of good land, 
his father gave him 150 acres and the remainder he has accumulated by 
his own energy and industry.  He was married in Jnauary, 1856, to 
Mary P., a daughter of Rutherford and Jane E. (Cunningham) Mitchell, 
natives of Meade County, Ky.  They have three children, viz.: W. R., 
Jennie P. (now deceased) and Mans.  Mrs. Gibson died May 27, 1866; 
she was a consistant member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.  
Mr. Gibson next married, May 25, 1867, Mrs. India I. Crewdson, 
daughter of C. W. and Mary A. Reeks, of this county.  Four children 
were born of this union: Lee, John R., Mamie, and Lillian.  Mr. and 
Mrs. Gibson are members of the Baptist and Methodist Churches.  He 
is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and a Democrat in politics,
