I am looking for the birth place of Cannon Gibbs. According to his grandson, William John Gibbs, Cannon was born in the Outer Banks area, of NC. On Cannon Gibbs' tomstone is Born July 18, 1805 NC. died Sept 19, 1857 SC.
He married Welthy Hyman b ca 1790. She was the widow of John Eaton Hyman from NC. They made their home in SC.
I have information on Cannon and Welthy's children. NOTHING on Cannon's parents or siblings. He appears on the 1823/24 court records buying land in Marion County, SC.
I have tried to connect Cannons and Gibbs to see if maybe Cannon Gibbs mother's maiden name was Cannon.
Have you come across these names while working on your Gibbs from Hyde County, NC?
