 * This is the second article by this person that has been brought to my attention by a third party...I am concern that we may have a bigger problem.

Quick look sees many copy vios here


 * But marriage to a white woman and his status as a slaveholder provided the foundation not only for his own success as a community leader, but also for his descendants' journey to whiteness. After the American Revolution, one branch of the Gibson family moved to Louisiana, becoming part of the white ...copied from Shades of White review


 * This group of mixed race plantation owners who finally subdued the 'bush' outlaws and whose descendants by the time of the Civil War had become some of the wealthiest and most politically influential figures of Georgia, the Carolinas, Kentucky and Tenesee - were of the same ethnic stock. The matrimonial alliances of one branch of the Gibson clan, for example, were contracted almost exclusively with congressional, senatorial and gubernatorial families of these southern states. Senator Gibson of Louisiana and the founder of Tulane University was a scion of this family..... copied from The Plight of the Silenced White Southern Wife During Slavery & Jim Crow

 * This entire article needs to be revamped. The Gibsons were of Native American Heritage, proven in Court Testimony in Richmond in 1790, some of the first settlers in Virginia, not in BOSTON.
 * “I have had them before me in Council and upon examination find that they  are not Negroes nor slaves but Free People, that the father of them here is   named Gideon Gibson and his father was also free, I have been informed by a person who has lived in Virginia that this Gibson has lived there several yearsin good repute and by his papers that he produced before me that his   transactions there have been very regular, That he has for several years paid taxes for two tracts of land and had seven Negroes of his own, That he is a carpenter by Trade and is come hither for the support of his family…I have in consideration of his wife’s being a white woman and several white women  capable of working and being Serviceable in the county permitted him to  settle in this Country.”  Governor Johnson 1731 -
 * Gideon Gibson, along with his 'kin' were Indian Traders.
 * There is no proof Gideon, father of Randall Lee Gibson was Gideon Jr. Randall and his brother McKinley, in 1870s searched their family history and reported Gideon [who is found frequently as GIBEON] was "either the son of John or Roger" - Roger left a will in 1752 and did not name a son Gideon. John was Gideon's father.
 * Gideon/Gibeon Gibson father of Randall Lee Gibson could not have been the REGULATOR since he left SC and went to Mississippi in 1781 and died in 1792, if the REGULATOR was shot and killed by his nephew?  So Randall Lee's father was not the man called before Governor Johnson.  This genealogy is a hack job and wikipedians just keep making it worse. 2601:409:C100:C9F0:29A8:FA1E:1073:6039 (talk) 11:04, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * "Despite his stature in South Carolina and his role as a colonel in the militia, Gideon Gibson Jr. met a tragic end when he was shot and killed by his nephew, Colonel Maurice Murphy, during an argument over Murphy's mistreatment of an elderly Tory during the Revolutionary War."
 * This cannot be the ancestor Gideon Gibson of Randall Lee Gibson - nor can Randall Lee's ancestor be the REGULATOR since his ancestor GIDEON GIBSON left the Pee Dee in 1781 and removed to Mississippi where he died at Woodville in 1792. ... if the Regulator was shot and killed in 1781 he did not move to Mississippi???
