Notes
- Nancy Jane was the daughter of Charles S Gibson and Sarah Morgan Gibson. After her father's death, her mother married Jorile Barnett, who had moved in to Washington County, Illinois, from Tennessee after the death of his second wife Nancy Powell. Nancy Jane later married Jorile's son Francis M (Frank).
Barbara comments on their relationship on an Ancestry.com Discussion Group, 20 Mar 2005 :
"Nancy Jane was a daughter of Sarah and Charles S. Gibson."

Frank (F M) and Nancy (N J) are recorded in the 1880 census for HIll County Texas, living next door to Jorile (J R) and Sarah.

Nancy Jane's gravestone reports her date of death as 5 April 1891. I find, however, that an affidavit sworn in 1926 related to this family reports her death as 2 April 1891. Perhaps the earlier date is the date of death, and the later one the date of burial, which was reported on the gravestone. I have seen this happen in other cases. The affidavit, sworn in regard to inheritance of a certain plot of land, reports many details on Francis Marion and Nancy Jane and their children. Thanks to Barbara Stevens for sharing this document with me.
This document also reports that Frances Jane lost 5 children in infancy. In the affidavit she is referred to as Jane Barnett:
"F. M. Barnett and Jane Barnett had born to them twelve children, five of same having died in infancy and seven having reached maturity."
