Gibson County Genealogy and History Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy My name is Rita Morgan and as your Gibson County, Tennessee host I will try to post as much data online as possible in order to make it freely available to all. WE REGRET THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO DO PERSONAL RESEARCH FOR YOU. All data we come across will be added to this website,  so please keep checking back.    In the meantime, we'd be very happy to accept any data you'd care to contribute and would like to see displayed on this site. We're looking for "raw data" - the birth/death/marriage records, obituaries, cemetery headstone readings, biographies, county histories, census data, pensions and other military data. In short, we'd like to display all the items you used to put together your family tree (rather than the tree itself). Email your transcribed data to us and we'll take care of putting it online. We're looking for folks who share our desire to put data online and are interested in helping this project be as successful as we can make it. If you are interested in joining our group as County Host for any of our  County websites, view our Volunteer Information page and Email Kim. A desire to transcribe data and know-how to make a basic webpage is required.   Gibson County was founded in 1823. It was named in honor of Col. John Gibson. He served with distinction in the Natchez Expedition, 1812-1813, and in the Creek Wars under Gen. Andrew Jackson.
