Would any of you by any chance have any connections to the KIMBLE family (KIMBEL, KIMBALL) in Tazewell, Smythe, Washington counties? I have these particular people in my line, but I'd be interested to hear from anyone with this surname as I believe there will be a connection somewhere. Wiley KIMBLE b. abt 1760-1770 lived in Washington Co. William A. (or H.) KIMBLE b. 1802 Washington m. ELizabeth DeBORD 1832 in Smyth Co. Wiley N. KIMBLE b. abt. 1845 in Smyth Co. Va. Civil War vet d. bef 1917 m. Mary J. BARROW William Elbert KIMBLE b. 1874 in Monroe Co. Missouri d. 1962 in Tazewell m. Lula May LEWIS Oscar George KIMBEL b. 1904 in Tazewell m. Ella B. VANCE I'm beginning to suspect that Wiley the elder's parents may have been from Pennsylvania because of all the KIMBLEs to be found there in the late 18th century and the all but disappearance of the name from Virginia records in the same time period. Thanks, Alana Kimbel Considine P.S. There are a few additional details on these people on my website. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Marc & Alana Considine Bee's Wing Books <beeswing@inconnect.com> http://www.inconnect.com/~beeswing
