I have been trying to find out death dates on my ancestor, Robert C. (Cargill) Gibson and wife, Martha Elizabeth Baker who lived in Henderson Co., Illinois. There are two Robert C. Gibsons in Henderson and Warren counties, so this does make it confusing at times.
Robert was born in 1822 and died between 1880 and 1900, and his wife between 1902 (listed as living in Dec 1901 on her mother's obit) and 1910 (assuming she is not in the 1910 as I couldn't locate her, but that doesn't always mean anything. She was born January 1824.
Also trying to find their daughter, Cordelia Pearson Gibson, who appears to have died between 1900 and 1910. She was married to Greenup Merrifield in 1869 and appears in 1870 census with him, but by 1880 has divorced him and is back with parents. They supposedly had a daughter and a son, Robert Merrifield.
Thanks!
