This can show relationships between the families. First names tend to repeat in families. Just looking at the 1870-1900 censuses, there sames to be quite a correspondence between the childrens' names of John Gambrell and those later heads of household later named Gambill. I think that you are on the right track with John. The marriages listed for members of the Gambill family on Morgan KY GenWeb do seem to suggest that John Gambrell and John Gambill are the same person. The sons of John were witnesses to each other's marriages. Have you tried researching Alonzo's (possible siblings)? You may find more on one of them and find his parents that way. Is there a death certificate or death register entry Alonzo's death? Have you tried locating Alonzo's marriage certificate? You can also try to obtain those of his siblings. I may be telling you stuff you already know, if so sorry. Those are all the things I would try. Sandra Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
