The following is from Karen M. Raischle (11 May 2007):

Her second marriage to Esom Bolen was apparently short lived and produced no children. The final marriage to Henry Gibson produced five sons: Fleming C, Archibald H, John M, Samuel P, and Johnson Gibson. Fleming C, John M, and Samuel P are all buried near Elizabeth Ann Gibson in the Flippin Cemetery in Marion Co., AR. Johnson Gibson's death certificate lists his father as Henry Gibson and his mother as Elizabeth Ann Johnson. Her tombstone gives her dates as born 20 Jan 1820 and died 15 Jan 1913.
