Campbell University News Release
Bulletin 0203, 07/19/04- Dr. Lloyd Johnson, associate professor of history at Campbell University, presented a paper on the role of Gideon Gibson, a colonial person of color, in the Regulator Movement in South Carolina during the 18th century. It further explained why Gibson's race was not a factor regarding social position in the Welsh Tract in the South Carolina backcountry where he lived.

- Regulator
- On the 9th instant I set out with Mr Pinckney for Mars-Bluff and reached Lynch's creek
- It appeared to us by all accounts that Gibson was guarded by a large body of men.
- The next bluff near the present railroad crossing called Sandy Bluff attracted a number of enterprising settlers that were to figure largely in the development of the country. John Crawford, William George and John Sanders, Gideon Gibson and J. Keighly. Rev Turbefield was also present in the community.
- As they passed by the mouth of Black Creek, ten miles about Mars Bluff they found large tracts--
- On Black Creek Malachi Murphy, John McIver, Thomas Freemans, Abraham Paul...
- On Red Bluff three miles below Cashaway John Moiden Daniel Mooney, at Beauty Spot James Law, Anthony Simmons, and Gideon Gibson; on Duck Pond and John Hitchcock on Mars Bluff.
“History of the Old Cheraws”
Chapter IV
…The other settlement referred to was made at a point on the east bank of the river, called Sandy Bluff, two and a half miles above Mars Bluff… The families of CRAWFORD, SAUNDERS, MURFEE, Crosby, Keighly, Berry, and shortly after the GIBSON’S, made up this community…
NOTES
Chickasaw
Further research revealed a number of Chickasaw Indian traders lived along the Pee Dee River during the “off-season” at a settlement called Sandy Bluff (in present day Marion County, South Carolina). According to Harvey Toliver COOK, several North Carolina and Virginia “squatters” had lived at Sandy Bluff since the early 1730s and a substantial community had evolved by 1734.(22)
James Adair was first a Cherokee Trader then Chickasaw lived with them for decades, good friend of Gibeon Gibson, daughter Agnes married to John Gibson, son of Gibeon.
When the Gibeon Gibson family left the Pee Dee they lived along the Natchez Trace, Chickasaw Country, Samuel Gibson, son of Roger Gibson was founder of Port Gibson. [Chickasaw and Choctaw were 'brothers' - Chief Elah Tubbee aka Chief Thomas Gibson was Chief at Six Towns in 1812, signed the Dancing Rabbit Treat.

Queensborough Township was established and first settled by Scots-Irish and Welsh from Pennsylvania and Delaware in 1735. It was located on the west side of the Great Pee Dee River in what are the present-day counties of Florence and Marion. Most of the Welsh ended up living in the adjacent Welsh Tract - also established during the 1730 Township Act - and few remained in the Queensborough Township. Situated on fairly poor soil compared to the Welsh Tract, Queensborough never really took off. The few Scots-Irish that had settled the area simply spread out and drifted away in search of better lands.
