Obituary - Beeville Picayune - June 30, 1911
*There is an error in the obituary as the family did not move to Texas until 1871.
The family moved from Georgia to Texas around 1871. Thomas was a successful business man before the war and made his fortune back after the war. He is buried at Gibson-Johnson cemetery in Harrison Co. next to his wife, Margaret, their young daughter, Julia 1877-1884 and their four very young children. All are in unmarked graves. We do not know where his son Thomas Rupert is buried.
Thomas and Margaret had nine children, only 5 survived infancy:
Lula Mae Gibson (Westmoreland) 1858-1932
Lena A. Gibson (Sims) 1860-1935
Thomas Rupert 1865- ?
Julia Gibson 1877-1884
Wiley Hill Gibson 1880-1965
Thomas has a cenotaph memorial at Millville Cemetery in Texas. You can find this at findagrave #91206448. The Gibson cemetery is so hard to get to, family members decided to put his CSA headstone in the same cemetery as his half brothers in 2012.
