Biography
John David Gibson was born in Laurens County, South Carolina in 1755 and later settled in Simpson County, Kentucky, where he died around 1825. His Find a Grave memorial carries a veteran flag, and his birth year of 1755 places him at Revolutionary War age; however, his specific service has not yet been confirmed from primary sources (Moderate Signal). His children documented on FaG #48443658 include Hugh Jacob Gibson (1781), John G. Gipson Sr. (1785), Silas Gibson (1797), Jacob (1802), Joseph (1803), and John F. (1804). WikiTree profile Gibson-2930 gives a death date of 20 December 1823 and is marked disputed; the exact death year remains unresolved. If his Revolutionary War service is confirmed, he would be an additional DAR patriot ancestor for the Vaughan line.
