Some Gibson's lines are listed as Melungeon and some are not. As for this Rebecca I am not sure if she is. I will keep an eye out and see if I can find anything.
It is very possible there is a NPE. I am untangling two Gibson lines. One is my husband's direct maternal line from North Carolina to Kentucky to Henry County Tennessee. One from my husband's paternal line that married into his England family. I am using DNA to help clear up some things but others are still a mystery. I will have to do more research on this Rebecca and see what I can find
