Col. John Gibson,
who served with distinction under General Andrew Jackson in the Natchez Expedition, 1812-13, and in the Creek Wars.
Obion County
Established 1823; named for the
Obion River,
chief watercourse in the county. The name Obion is of uncertain origin. Some say it is an Indian word meaning many prongs; others say it was the name of a French-Irish officer, who explored the country at an early but unknown date.
