According to the 1867 Loyalty Oath and Voting Register of Winston Co. Alabama Jonas L. Gipson was born April 21, 1827 in Burke Co., NC. He married Eliza Louisa Walker in May 1847 in Gilmer, GA; They moved to Winston/Cullman County, Alabama after the war; joining her family there. After 1880 they moved to Sebastian Co. Arkansas. Jonas and Eliza are buried in Atkins City Cemetery, Pope Co. AR.

I am searching for the family of Louisa's brother, William who married Elizabeth Nelson and left Winston County about 1873. These are James W. Walker, born 1860; Elizabeth C. Walker born 1862, twins Jonathan J and Mary J. Walker born 1866; Lucinda J. Walker born 1868 and Sarah F. Walker born 1870.
