On the "Johnson Family Tree" at Ancestry, he is shown as a son of James CONN and Martha Ann GIBSON. At the time of the 1850 Federal Census, a 21 year old John Conn was living in the home of Thos and Anne Gibson in Marion County, Mississippi. John was listed as farming. Thomas, age 48, was a Baptist Parson born in North Carolina, and Anne, age 24 was born in Mississippi. Thomas and Anne were presumably the parents of the 10 Gibson children also in this household, ranging in age from 17 to 1. They were John, H., Elijah, Elisha, N., C., S., M., E., and Abi.

Not able to locate John on the 1860 census with his wife or children.

Listed as Alexander on the 1850 census; as A. H. in 1860 and 1870, and as Andrew in 1880 and 1900. Steve McCalip emailed, in August 2015, that his name "...should be "Andrew Henderson McGown" This is what is on the Bible page of his birth, his father's bible (George W. McGown). I have many other documents supporting this...."

"Received a land grant from the Republic of Texas (bro. of John Franklin McGown). Alex H. McGown was sherriff of Sabine County for many years. All these McGowns are buried in the Browning Cemetery on the Camino Real near Milam." (White and Toole, p 52).
