I do a lot of genealogy research. Tonight I came across something I thought I'd share..
Elizabeth Gibson1st husband was an indian
It is said she could have had a child by him.
He made her load his bullets and was very cruel to her. everyone knew about this, and that he was drunk most of the time. At these times, which was almost daily, he beat her badly. One day she was supposed to make his bullets, after he had beaten her, and she took the hot lead and poured it into his ear while he laid in a drunken stupor. It killed him. She was never prosecuted for this, as the law and all the people knew his treatment of her.
This story has been passed down through the years by her grandchildren,and children, and in-laws.
Birth 1843 in Berryville, Carroll, Arkansas, USA
Death 05/30/1910
