Am so very grateful to Prof. Hollingsworth for Her postings on Kentucky History of various materials related to this early history re: Pioneers of Kentucky. Most have discovered thru searches , except for our Family oral history and Bible, has been materials online. It needs be closely evaluated but not necessary to disregard.
Dear Mr. Reader,
Thank you again for your reply. For the record, I am only an amateur genealogist, and have not spent much time on my Gibbs line. However, I did find an obituary (p. 8, July 4, 1931 issue of "The Courier-Journal" newspaper (Louisville, KY)), for my 2nd great-grandmother, Evelyn (Gibbs) Day. The 2nd paragraph of her obituary stated "Mrs. Day was a second cousin of Daniel Boone and had in her possessions a number of interesting Boone relics".
Hesitant to say, but there does seem something to this small world afterall.
It was not my intent to turn H-Kentucky into a genealogy list or discussion but perhaps if Prof. Hollingsworth is willing to post these points of discussion can exchange some further matters as well.
Certainly looks as if your heritage is quite well placed.
Dear Mr. Reader,
It’s a nice coincidence that you have communicated with Karen Roberts. Her (deceased) mother and I are first cousins through our grandmother Lula Day Wilson. My older brother (deceased) John Wilson, and Karen also had communicated extensively on our family.genealogy.
Thank you Mr. Wilson for your latest additions to this H-Kentucky posted material on pioneering history for Muchmore and Gibbs Family.
It is most welcome. Over a period of years, 2018-2020 at least, did have number f exchanges with your cousin Karen Roberts about Muchmore, Hannah Boone history and Gibbs History.
It seems we are related also. Not done much on these degrees of distances in genealogy; only, some very basic historical research based on y own 20th Century family history and efforts.
