Posted on: Knox Co. Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Knox/798 Surname: Rambo ------------------------- Searching for the parents of Harvey Rambo (1818-1884) who was from VA and shown in the Knox Co, Orange Twp 1870 and 1880 Census. He is also in the 1850 Gallia Co, Greenfield Twp, OH Census. Married to Deborah Benson (1825-1904) who was born in VA. Harvey and Deborah are buried in Cook Cemetery in Knox Co. Harvey was the father of Emery Rambo who lived in Knox Co. I believe Harvey may have been the son of either Joseph, Levi or Reuben Rambo who were orginally form Greenbrier Co, Lewisburg Twp, VA - sons of Joseph Rambo Senior.

Many of the families that came to Orange, Haw Creek and Maquon Townships in Knox Co. came from the counties of Gallia, Jackson and Vinton in Ohio and intermarried both in Ohio and in Knox Co. Prior to Ohio most of them were from Va. I found a Harvey RAMBO that married Deborah FAULKNER in Jackson Co., Ohio 25 Sept. 1845. Could this be yours, too? Where did he marry Deborah BENSON? On page 174 of Greenbrier County, Va (WVa.) Deeds and Wills, I found a probate record for Joseph RAMBO. It reads as follows: 518-20 Joseph RAMBO , Will: 17 Nov 1819 prob. Nov. 1820. Wife, Sarah RAMBO, sons, Joseph RAMBO, Peter RAMBO, Reuben RAMBO, Levi RAMBO, William RAMBO, Jacob RAMBO; daus, Jemima RAMBO, Deborah RAMBO, Sarah RAMBO, Drusilla RAMBO; gson, Lewis RAMBO. Exec: Geo HAWVER, Peter HAWVER (refused), Wit: Charles ARBUCKLE, George HAWVER, Jacob HAWVER. Final exec: John BEARD. Security, John Nathan REED. There are many land records for RAMBOs in Augusta Co., Va. starting in about 1748. Have you checked there? Donna At 11:00 AM 11/5/00 -0800, you wrote: >Posted on: Knox Co.
