Note:

Myrtle, I have received a couple of replies on this cemetery...none of them make much sense to me as I don't live near there.  
I am going to forward the answers to youf FYI.  For this cemetery you can add if you like that Stephen C Gibson was the son of 
Stephen Pate and Mary Covington Gibson ....and that Orilla was the daughter of W J Tunstall and Helen Permenter.  George W Gibson 
was the youngest child of Orilla and Stephen Gibson.  His wife was Mary Lena Alma Taylor who married a Reece after George died.  
Their children Barbara, George Gerald and Lillian R Gibson. Also, Nancy Jane Seals was the daughter of Robert Gibson, a son of 
Stephen Pate and Mary Covington Gibson. One of the FAG photographers has found and photographed the tombstones of Stephen Pate, 
Mary C Gibson and their son Robert in the "Scottish Heritage" cemetery off 74 in East Laurinburg....think it used to be called 
the Sunderland cemetery? I was surprised that they were extant after over 100 years. Zelia Cline

Message #1 from George Kemp, Jr:  

I know it can be confusing when looking at the different Gibson cemeteries. The S. Gibson cemetery and Gibson cemetery are not 
the same.  The S. Gibson cemetery is actually named the Steven Gibson cemetery.  It was named after Steven Gibson, father of 
Rev. Noah H Gibson.  This is where Stephen Covington Gibson and his wife Orilla B. Tunstall Gibson are buried as well as one 
of their sons George Washington Gibson.  I have visited this particular cemetery every year because the cemetery is owned by 
members of my family and our family reunions are held at the "Old Homeplace" which is down the road from the cemetery and Oak 
Ridge Church.  I'm a descendant of one of Rev. Noah H Gibson's sons William Lawrence Gibson.

The other Gibson cemetery when Rev. Noah H Gibson and his wife Nancy Jane Barrington Gibson and some family are buried is generally 
just called the Old Gibson cemetery.  I have never personally been there but I have pictures of some of the gravestones there.  My 
cousin went there years ago, the cemetery has since been bought by other people and I'm told that the cemetery has been locked and 
overgrown unfortunately.  

 To my knowledge there is no Oak Ridge Cemetery.  The S. Gibson cemetery is located on Oak Ridge Church Rd. just passed Champ Terry 
 Road in Hamlet, NC.  I just looked and if you  search on google maps for any reason it will be listed as Oak Ridge Cemetery.  I 
 don't know why.  I don't know any directions for the Old Gibson cemetery.  George Kemp Jr.

Message #2 from Texas:  Lynn Steen
   
I'm writing from Texas, but I think I can direct you to the cemetery in question. I grew up in that area, but don't know the history 
on the cemetery. If you start at the intersection of Highway 74 and Highway 38 in Hamlet, head south on 38 for about 2 miles. In the 
vicinity of the fairly new Highway 74 Bypass will be an road intersection with what I presume is Oak Ridge Road. Take a left on this 
road for about another 2 miles, and the church and cemetery will be found there. I recall that the church would be on the left from 
this approach, but am uncertain about the position of the cemetery. Continuing on on this Oak Ridge Road would bring you to a dead-end 
intersection with the Old Gibson Road. A left on Old Gibson would eventually bring you back to Highway 38 just south of the main rail 
line heading east out of Hamlet, and continuing across 38 would turn into Main Street in Hamlet. This intersection with 38 is about 
300 yards south of the original starting point. I took you the route I did because I consider it more direct. The old Gibson Road 
meanders somewhat. But you can make the choice. Good luck on your hunting. L. Steen
