I was going to add, William Gambrel's children Amanda & Sterling (my direct line) lived on Stinking Creek in Knox County, so I wondered how Lincoln Gambrel ended up on Sruce Pine in Fount, Knox County, KY. It's a long drive! My cousin Don and I discussed this, and we were told there are certain spots where you just cross the mountain and your on Road Fork or Middle Fork of Stinking Creek, so as the crow flys it wasn't hard at all.

Ambrose and Mary B. had a Child (My Grandmother) Lillian Wanita Baker, b.March 15, 1900 and died 1942. Lillian married a James Elbert Payne,b. Dec.2,1889 and died around 1933.James elbert is the son of Silas Payne and Martha Hawn. There was also another child after Lillian, her sister Minnie Baker. She was born two years after Lillian. Things are a bit confusing, since Mary B. Gray,Baker,Townsley had a few children. She had George Gray before any marriage to Ambrose. After Ambrose she married a Ebb Townsley and had two sons: Dee and William Townsley. Mary B. Died on June 24, 1915, in Whitley county. On the death information it lists her as 28 years of age, which actually she was 38. I am not sure why Ambrose is listed as Widow, since mary did not die until much later (1915). I am also trying to find out where Mary B. and Ambrose could be buried! Not having much luck there! I did find out that Marys brother Flemming Gray is buried in Gray's Cemetary,but is listed as birth in 1877, which should be 1875. There father Thomas J. Gray is suspose to be buried in Spurlock. Not real sure about that one either! Hoping to look things up in May, when I travel thru Knox County! thanks Yvonna ysamie2001@yahoo.com

I've decided she probably remarrried in another county near where she was raising her children since there were so many it would of probably been more difficult to travel and get married with all of them.

At this time we do not know who she married we only know from older family members that have passed now that she did remarry sometime after 1905. Orlena BLACK Cundiff Possilby used Laura Thanks T

If you go to the main Knox Co. or any county web pages, you will find all sorts of birth, death, marriage, census and other information they have posted free for your use. However, obtaining of Wills, birth records, death certificates from the State of KY or from any private party is NOT free. There are research fees and copying and mailing fees to be borne by someone. There are always costs attached whether one likes to think of it that way or not. I have paid out hundreds and hundreds of dollars over the years for census and marriage books, for birth and death CD's, etc. etc. One also pays to subscribe to services such as Ancestry.com. I share what I have paid for with others who do not have those things when they make 'public' postings and I think I can help them. I am not the only one who does this. Many help each other in a variety of ways. I have no idea where you live but make the assumption you are new at this. The first thing you need to do is to either purchase or download a free genealogy program from the LDS site or from Ancestry.com or some other place. That way you can begin to organize what you have. If you live close to your research in KY, then the next best thing to free is your OWN time and efforts in going to the courthouses, genealogical societies and doing your own research. Find out where your local LDS Family learn to use their services which are free. Costs to rent their microfilm is relatively inexpensive - - abt. $3.50 per roll a month. Most all of us who have done research for any length of time have spent time in the courthouses, in the cemeteries, writing letters, searching on line, whatever it takes to get the information they need. The very, very old information is often very difficult to come by and the very, very new information (such as births, marriages, etc. that have occurred past 1920 or 1930 ) is the same because there are few easily obtainable public records and NO census records past the 1930 recently released.
