I have found, in my own CABLE searching, that the family was a large one, with first names being repeated frequently. I am not aware of any CABLE family bible or other vital records for the early CABLES, except for a will & probate for Philip CABLE, husband of Maria BRADY. As for my own direct line, there are some specific unresolved questions. For example, my line is: 1 Philip (Filbs) (Kebell, Köbell) Cable b. c.1700/1710 Wittgenstein, Palatinate, Germany d. AFT 29 JAN 1780 Warrington Twp, York Co, PA m. Maria (Mary) Brady b. 1697 Wittgenstein, Palatinate, Germany 2 Jacob Cable b. c.1729-32 Switzerland or PA, USA d. 1816 Jefferson Co, OH ? m. 1750 MD Mary Christina Walker b. 24 MAY 1793 MD d. c.1816 Jefferson Co, OH (There are different versions as to who Jacob married, as well as whether jacob CABLE, father of John Martin CABLE (below) was in fact the son of Philip CABLE + Maria BRADY.) (Also, in Two Centuries of Brothersvalley, there are different references to Jacob, leaving room for some confusion). 3 John Martin Cable b. 15 NOV 1750 Franklin Co, PA d. 06 JUL 1812 Dayton, Montgomery Co, OH m. c.1768/73 Bedford Co, PA Christiana Mary (Repley, Rampley) Ripley b. 30 OCT 1752 d. 1823 Montgomery Co, OH (John Martin CABLE's wife is a question as well. Most researchers have her as Christiana Mary [or Mary Chrtistiana] RAMPLEY / RIPLEY / REPLEY. I do not know her parents' names. Other researchers show his wife as Mary Christina WARNER. There are several CABLE wives with the first name Mary, with similar last names.) 4 Martha Magdalena Cable b. 27 NOV 1783 (Cambria Co, PA) or (MD) ? d. 16 JUN 1867 Athens Co, OH m. 08 AUG 1797 Black Lick Twp, Indiana Co, PA Christopher (Harrold) Herrold b. 01 MAR 1777 Hempfield Twp, Westmoreland Co, PA d. 25 AUG 1823 Beaumont, Ames Twp, Athens Co, OH (Christopher HERROLD = my direct line) m. 23 NOV 1823 Athens Co, OH Silas (Sylas) Bingham b. 24/29 JUL 1758 Salisbury, Litchfield Co, CT d. 15 MAY 1840 Dover Twp, Athens Co, OH m. 15 JAN 1846 Athens Co, OH John Jackson b. 31 AUG 1790 ? d. 27 NOV 1867 ? (I have better information on Martha, although I do not have a birth record) Any help will be appreciated, Joel Ettinger ettinger@connix.com Visit my home page, for Genealogy, Library Science and Internet Tutorials, at http://www.connix.com/~ettinger/index.htm
