This picture is from the FamilySearch website.

Here is a better picture of Prudence Gibson

Prudence was the daughter of Nicholas Gibson and Lydia Sink

Nicholas was the son of John Gibson

(According to FamilySearch, the Gibson family traces its roots all the way back to Adam... But I'm going to stop at Col. John Gibson because everything prior to that is, shall we say, questionable.)

Going forward from John Gibson...

John Gibson was the father of Nicholas Gibson.

Nicholas was the father of James Wilson Gibson (I don't have a picture of him).

James was the father of Smith Gibson.

Smith was the father of Asa Gibson.

So, in summary...

Juliet Lough Rice was a first cousin twice removed to my great-grandmother Lora Gibson Burford.
