General Notes (Wife)
================================================================================

See biography in History of Freestone County, Texas Vol. 2.

  1880 Census shows a John Gibbon living in Limestone County. Listed with the
children is Sarah Gibbon who is the daughter of Liza Jane.  John's wife is
listed as Julia and there are seven other children ranging from ages 18 to 1
years of age.  I believe it is safe to assume that Liza and John were divorced
sometimes between 1864 and 1866.  Of Liza's three children with John the oldest
two were born in Texas, the youngest was born in Missouri in about 1864.
****1850 census of Dist 72, in Pulaski County, Missouri lists Eliza J. Driskell
in the family of John Driskell and Catherine Saltsman Driskell.  Image #59 of
95 Respository.  John Driskell was on the tax assessment lists for Tarrent
County, Texas, from 1860 through 1863.  The Saltsman were on the 1870 census
records for Pulaski County, MO.
  There were no Sterlings or Gibbons on the census for Pulaski County, MO. for
1860 or 1870. [from Ida]
