Biography

AnecdoteHans Nielsen on July 26, 2018 at 3:12 pm said:
Hello all. I’ve read through the majority of posts here and would like to make a comment. My 3rd great grandmother was Louisa Winchester who married Dr. Edmund Rucker. Louisa was a sister of Marcus Brutus Winchester. It is more complicated than it appears. Marcus had 5 brothers and 6 sisters. Their parents were General James Winchester and Susan Black. .

James Winchester and Susan Black were not married until 1805. The first 7 children were illegitimate. James Winchester, through acts of the Tennessee legislature, was able to legitimize the first 7 children only through these legislative acts.. The reason is that his wife, Susan, was not 100% European. Her mother’s maiden name was Gibson. Susan Black’s mother was Mariah Gibson, the daughter of Jordan Gibson. Jordan was the son of Gideon Gibson, who was mixed European and African and most likely, Native American.. Jordans Gibson line were free people of color in the Pee Dee river area of South Carolina. Jordan Gibson’s brother was Gideon Gibson Jr., and is known as Gideon Gibson “the Regulator”.
