Subject: [VAFairfa] John GIBSON - 1790 slave owner is who?
Date: Sat, 16 Mar 2002 14:17:31 EST

Hello,

Looking at a 1790 Fairfax Census record, I see a John GIBSON - quite a large
slave holder (one of the larger). Who is this John Gibson, a wife's name?
any information
welcome. I believe he attaches to my family but a mystery?

John Gibson paid the taxes on property belonging to Lewis Samuel Pritchartt
(100 acres). Looking at a map of 1760, I see John Gibson owning land just
near Loudoun County, Fairfax County Line. Checking random data, I see a John
Gibson m. to Ann Eustace, also a John Gibson in Revolution, and see a
Jonathan Gibson.

Look forward to further information from anyone.
Thanks
Anne
