I am also thinking you should probably consider joining Cassie SOMMERS MyFamily.com site. We discuss those Knox Co., KY Stinking Creek families considerably and there are a number of researchers on that site who are GAMBRELS and MILLS and who probably have much more information than I do. I also wanted to tell you that the John F. GAMBREL who was the father of Anthony and Garret GAMBREL (spelled in a variety of ways) was none other than William G. "Bill" GAMBREL b. abt. 1807 in TN; died after the 1880 Fed. Census and his 2nd wife, Emily SMITH. Even William G. GAMBREL is tied to my TAYLORs. He first married Mahala TAYLOR, one of the older daughters of Cornelius Alexander TAYLOR and Sarah Ann WALKER TAYLOR. They lived together just a couple of months and she returned home. Word was he was having an affair with Emily SMITH. Anyway Mahala and he finally divorced and he remarried . She also remarried two (at least more times). Mahala was an older sibling to my g-grandfather, Harrison TAYLOR b. 1836; d. 1904 and to Alabama Marthane TAYLOR b. 1843; d. after 1920 in Knox Co. I will send you some information directly on your family. I am often fond of saying that I don't seem to have branches on my family tree because when I trace out lines, they seem to always double back on me and I end up going in circles vs. branching out.
