I sent the following message to Kathy who use to be at kjgill@juno.com but it was returned. I'm hoping she will see this here or maybe someone else can fill us in Kathy, I;m hoping maybe you can help me on "a" Stephen Hibbard. I am looking at a tombstone of a Stephen Hibbard and Rachel that are buried in the Girdler Cemetery in knox County with the following dates. Steve Hibbard born 7-3-1876 d. 8-31-1928 Rachel Hibbard b. 2-6-1883 d. 1-12-1918 Knowing you have done some research on this family. Do you happen to know who these two are? I have the following information on a Rachel and Stephen Hibbard but the dates are so far off it seems unlikely to be the same two.

She died April 1891 in Knox Co. She was the 3rd wife of Thomas MILLS, Sr. Also, do not confuse the Thomas "Blow Hot" MILLS with the older Thomas MILLS who was married to Alabama JACKSON, Susannah COPE and one other woman. Thomas "Blow Hot" was the older Thomas' son. Thomas "Blow Hot" MILLS was married to Amanda GAMBREL, dau. of William "Bill" GAMBREL and Emily SMITH GAMBREL. Thomas "Blow Hot" MILLS also had a son, Thomas, b. abt. 1876. This Thomas MILLS referred to as Thomas, Jr. in the 1910 Knox Co. married a Julia BAKER. Carolyn GAMBREL straightened this out recently. Prior to this and due to an error on the 1910 Miracode, we had Thomas "Blow Hot" married to both Amanda GAMBREL and to the Julia BAKER. After she consulted the actual microfilm, it could be seen to be the Thomas b. 1876 who had married Julia. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA

These are the Harlan Co. SIMPSONS so I would assume the Margaret GAMBREL he married was from one of the GAMBRELs in Harlan co. at that time.

I'm thinking it was Harlan GAMBREL who was in Harlan early on which might be the reason for their child being named "Harlan/Harle". 1850 Harlan Co. Dwelling 2871 SIMPSON, John, 40, b. VA .
