In 1851 I and the ancestors thru whom [I claim] lived in Floyd Co., Ky. In 1835 the grandparents thru whom I claim lived in Wise Co., Va. In 1835 my parents and grandparents thru whom I claim lived among the Cherokees in Wise Co., Va. I don't know whether they lived as members of the tribe or not; none of the ancestors thru whom I claim were ever held in bondage; none of the ancestors thru whom I claim were ever enrolled that I know of and ever received any money or land as an Indian; none of my ancestors ever had an Indian name that I know of;
I never heard my grandparents say how much Indian blood they had; they always told us that we belonged to the Cherokee generation. my father was a voter. In the community I have always been regarded as having Cherokee Indian blood.
Kizziah Gibson
SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me this 29th day of July, 1908 at Salyersville, Ky.
Kezziah or Kizzie Gibson filed application in 1908 and gives her dob as 1837
born in Tenn. In 1900 she is living with Harvey and Rosa Porter,
grandmother born in Apr 1824. In 1910 she is living with daughter in law Mariah Murphy and in 1920 she is
living in the household with Isaac and Cassie Murphy as grandmother age 98. So this must be her death certificate;
