Hello Ruth,
My name is Leah Blevins. Katie Katherine Gibson was my great-grandmother. Her daughter, Garnet Lucille "Jo" Gibson Blevins was my father's mother. My father was Matthew Lee Blevins. I don't know much about this side of my family but I did get to meet some of my grandmother's siblings when they would visit my grandparents in Russell, KY. Thelma "Jean" Crago (her husband Doug) from Peebles, Ohio. Wanda "Birdie" Mutters (I always thought she lived in California but heard she was from Columbus, OH. Mettie Gibson from Grove City?, OH. (Her name could have been Mattie, but I knew her as aunt Mettie), Tom Gibson, Garnet's brother would stay for a while when he visited. I don't know where he was from. I did hear my grandfather (Thomas Blevins) say he was buried on a farm in Arkansas? Where he worked and passed away. There are a handful more siblings that I only heard about but never met. I'm sorry I don't have much info for this side of my family. I know after John Gibson passed away, his son (I don't know which, but I'm thinking it could have been Leonard) changed the spelling of his last name to "Gipson". If you have info or a correction to my info, I would love to know. I always thought Katie Katherine was a "Marten/ Martin " until finding recently that she was a Sexton. Her mother was a Martin, or so I was told by my aunt (Angela Blevins, my father's sister.)
To add to your info:
Garnet Lucille Gibson (daughter of Katie Katherine and John H. "Hoot" Gibson )
Married to Thomas Blevins (I can't remember the date. 40's?)
Children:
Thomas A."Buddy" Blevins
Joyce Lynn Blevins Gil
Matthew Lee "Matt" Blevins
Angela Kay Blevins Robles

Its so exciting to learn more about family.
Bright blessings!

Leah
