Lucinda (--?--)   (ca 1835 - )

Cited documentation:

1. [S44] Gibson, John, 1850 Census Shrewsbury, VT, as "Lucinda Gibson" age 51.
2. [S44] Gibson, John, 1850 Census Shrewsbury, VT, My reconstruction of his relationship to the three women in his household in the 1850 census should be regarded as tentative at best. I conclude that John was the son of Catherine (age 62). From among several unsatisfactory alternatives, I surmise that the two women named Lucinda (aged 51 and 15) were mother and daughter, and that the "ditto" marks for the surname Gibson, in their cases, may possibly be the result of careless enumeration. It is tempting to identify the younger Lucinda with Catharine's daughter and John's sister of that name, but that Lucinda was born in 1823. The younger Lucinda in this census was age 15, about 12 years too young; confirming her age, she attended school during the year.

The author strongly cautions the reader about making any assumption concerning the existence of uncited documentation (whether the assumption is that it does exist -- or that it does not).
