Re: Peter Gideon

pegsyjohnston1 — 2012-05-05 05:09:28Z

My information is a bit different than yours.

Peter Gideon, who married Mary Catherine Ernest,was born in Philadelphia, PA, on 3-22-1752. He died on 2-4-1844 in Leesburg, Loudoun County, VA. Mary Catherine was born 1-12-1743, and died 8-13-1836 in Hillsboro, Loudoun Co.,VA.

Peter and Mary Catherine's son Henry was born 9-28-1798 in VA. He died 11-22-1882, and is buried in Bennett Cemetery in Madison, IA. Henry's wife was Nancy Anna Miller, DOB 9-28-1806 in Germany. She died 7-5-1869 and is also buried in Bennett Cemetery in Madison, IA. Peter and Mary Catherine also had a son named Peter, who was 9 years older than Henry. Peter and Mary Catherine also had a son named Valentine Miller Gideon, from whom I am descended. Check out the US Census 1850, Illinois, Sangamon County. I am sorry I am unable to attach the census. I found it on the FamilySearch.org website.

As for Peter who married Mary Catherine, HIS father was Peter Heinrich Gideon and he was born in Bavaria in 1726. He died in 1777. I do not know where. His wife's name was Nancy. I want to know more about Peter Heinrich Gideon who was born in Bavaria. Do you have any information?

Thanks for responding! I started researching my mother's line a few years back and got 'stuck' with Anjarona. Do you know who her parents were? Any information you have to share would be helpful.

Thank you,

My family line has Giddens/Gideon... coming to Tarrant County from Georgia. I think some of the Giddens did move to Dallas County. I'm not sure how to pursue trying to figure out if your dad is from the same Giddens/Gideon crew. There are still some Gideons nearby (Hood County), but I don't think that they would know anything about this. Is there any other information at all? Maybe the date he was orphaned?

I am looking for Gensie Gideon in Holmes County, MS sometime between 1900 and 1930. She would have been born around 1875-77 and Gideon may have been her married name. Her maiden name would have been Carter and she may have had a daughter named Maggie.

Giddens / Gideon Mystery Adoption - Dallas, TX ~ 1955

junkmail603 — 2011-02-08 21:52:46Z

Hello All,

My father was adopted in about 1955 from Dallas County (Texas) Municipal Adoption Agency (now defunct) at about age 5. His name was supposedly "Phillip Gideon(Giddens?)" at the time of adoption. His adoptive family had the birth certificate modified showing themselves as birth parents, changing his name and reporting the birth date 10.31.1949. My father has spoken about remembering a car crash when he was very young (3 or 4 ?) and vague memories of an older gentleman coming to visit him and bringing him fruit at the orphanage before he was adopted.

I have done a 67 STR Marker test through FTDNA, results at Ysearch:

http://www.ysearch.org/lastname_view.asp?viewuid=EQDTT&p...

My STR Marker Results seem to match me to Giddens/Gideon family, but that is all I have to go on as of now.

Please let me know if you have any ideas, rumors, tall-tales, etc. to share.

p.s. my father and I both have dark eyes, hair and complexion.

Re: Thomas Gideon

familytreepeeps — 2010-12-25 15:16:21Z

I know some just because I chased him down a little bit before realizing that I had the wrong Thomas. :) I don't know much, as I figured out early on that I had the wrong one, but I do know he was married and divorced from Josephine Oliver. If I remember right, they were divorced either by or soon after 1900. They had a son named Oliver (I think?)

Thomas was under scrutiny and is ALL over the MO newspapers for alleged prohibition violations. I don't know what the result was of that case, but I know that it went on for awhile!

I might be able to help more if you have specific questions.

Looking for parents of Gideon Price born 1822 in NC and died 1900 in Laclede County, Missouri. He was married to Julia Ann Lightenstone & had children Wyatt, George, Hendrix, Shilo, Mary, Shira. I descend from Hendrix Price.

Several family trees have Gideon's parents as John Price 1783-1860 and Eunice "Nicey" Blaydes 1783-1860. I can find no proof or evidence of this anywhere I have searched.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Stuck on Gideon research

mmgideon011 — 2010-05-16 22:37:35Z

I'm researching my husband's family. He never really knew his father, Russell Gideon, who died in 2001 in California. I do know that Russell's father was Clyde Gideon, but I can't find who Clyde's parents were. I know these Gideons lived around Hannibal, MO. Clyde Gideon was born around 1902 in Missouri. That's all I know. Does anyone else have any information that might help? I'm wondering whether the problem is that the name might have been misspelled on census records.

Myra Gideon

C.W. Gideon and wife Eva... show up in 1880s census, and not before or after...

familytreepeeps — 2010-05-03 01:15:16Z

If anyone has any further information, I'd love to hear from you!

Family in 1880 census is listed as "Giddeons." I think it is an entry error, though, or else all of the kids changed their name to Gideon at the same time!

C.W. and Eva Giddeons Children:
Thomas (b. 1870)
Luther (b. 1873)
Effa V. (b. 1876)
Charles (b. 1879)

Thomas married Josephine Malone in 1894. Children:
Lewis F. (b. 1895)
Horace Malone (b. 1899)
Ruth H. (b. 1907)

Something must have happened to C.W. and Eva between 1880 and 1900, because Effie was living with Thomas at that point. They don't show up in any censuses (either before or after).

Thomas was in MO until the 1930 census, where he was in Tulsa, OK. (I find that interesting because the scandal involving the OTHER Thomas H. Gideon was going on at that point, so it makes me wonder if he was being mistaken for him and decided to leave?)

I keep thinking someone's gotta know something! It's almost like these people appeared from thin air and then disappeared with no trail!

This could be the one that sharon tate 62 was looking at.I am sure that grahamnancy 1 and myself have the same James Isham.The thing I am trying to find out is Martha's real last name.

Re: Martha pattie Mills

My James Isham Gideon is also from Cork, Ireland born 1748 died 1832 In War Creek, Hawkins County, Tenn. His wife is listed as Martha "Pattie" Mills and perhaps of English descent. she died in 1834. they had five sons and two daughters. There marriage license was found in Wilkes Co..N.C. and was singed and sealed in the presents of W. Lenoir D.C.C. on the first day of February A.D. 1787

Re: Martha pattie Mills

DOCCONCRETEGUY — 2010-01-12 00:53:18Z

I am pretty sure they are different. The James Isham Gideon in my Tree is from Cork County Ireland.He was born in 1749.His wife Martha Pattie Mills is where my questions are. All the tree have her father as William Nalle . This seems odd if her name is Mills.

Henry Gideon Erie County Pennsylvania 1810

rjtrlopez — 2009-07-29 03:03:48Z

Looking for the parents of Henry Gideon – b. 25 Sep 1810 in Erie County, Pennsylvania, married to Lydia Bevelheimer (various spellings) in 1934/35 in Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania, and d. 17 Dec 1868 in Root Township, Adams, Indiana. I have three leads: 1) In a biography of Henry’s sons, Francis E. “Frank” and John M., their grandparents are noted as having lived an died in Erie County, Pennsylvania, 2) In the same biography a note mentions that Frank had two uncles that served in the civil war. These uncles might be Gideon and thus brothers to Henry; and 3) I found a Silis [sic] Gideon in the 1820 McKean, Erie, Pennsylvania census – I have found no other Gideons in early Pennsylvania censi. Any help would be appreciated. Erie County is not on my beaten path. Perhaps there is a researcher out there that would trade for some Southern California research. I have the history to present day for Henry Gideon. I would be happy to help anyone with details.
