Re: Gilbert Gibson of Charles City County

Val:I'm bad with distances.I'd guess-timate distance between 1 and 1/2 and 2 miles between the Lightfoot crypts and the Gibson graveyard.Very different settings.There are no dates that I could see and I got right up on them.Each said the same:Here Lyeth The Body of Thomas Gibson.Here Lyeth The Body of Gibby Gibson.As I said, the tombstone of Francis was so badly damaged there was only a tiny vertical piece of marker remaining.Thankfully the W&M Quarterly notation indicates that someone was able to see the tombstone of Francis before it was damaged so we have his name.

The tombstones were together, in a row side by side:the first was Francis, then Gibby, then Thomas.
