Hi, Maxine, Did your Parks/Parkes marry an Elizabeth A./Betsy Ann Gammill (4 Aug 1819, TN (probably Bedford)-20 Feb 1897, Mt. Vernon Twp, Lawrence Co, MO), by any chance? I have been trying to find the Parks she married. He would have died young, as she then married Levi Shook as his second wife in Lawrence Co. in Sep 1844.

Lorraine, in my information, I have Fannie Hix (1877-1966) m. James Marion Gammill (no dates) and her parents were Kate Parkes (1853-1921) m. Benjamin Franklin Hix. Kate's father was Dr. Ambrose Lee Parkes from Martin Livingston Parkes from Ambrose Parkes (1765-abt. 1838). Fannie Hix is from the line of William Hix (1774-1839.) As I told you before, I am from this William's brother, John Jr.'s line. We ARE all related!

Hi, Cuz! I will see what I can do with these other Parks names, then, to find a first husband to fit the Betsy Ann Gammill who later married Levi Shook. Thanks for sharing the info!

Hi, listees, Using your information, Maxine, and your HIX obituary, Julia, I have spent some days tracking down these GAMMILL, PARKES/PARKS, and HIX lines on Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Google Books (FYI, a great genealogy research tool, if you haven't used it as a search method before) and have established: Frances Louisa (Fannie) HIX is my 3rd cousin, 3x removed, through the HIX line Benjamin Franklin (Frank) HIX is my 2nd cousin, 4x removed, through the HIX line I have entered probably more GAMMILLs and PARKES/PARKS in my family tree database than any other "allied" families, which allowed me to see where the various Bedford County GAMMILL, GAMEL, GAMBILL, and GAMBRELL lines fit together with my HIX and WORD lines, since I had only found bits and pieces before, looking for my James GAMMILL.; pretty much it seems that all go back to the James GAMMILL-Margaret MILLER or the Thomas Bradley GAMBILL-Susanna Fisher NASH lines. I couldn't find where these two lines intersected, though. Anyone know if they do? I say "allied" families, because darn if the *only *relationship that I came up with for Fannie Hix's husband, Frank Marion GAMMILL, is *husband* of 3rd cousin 3x removed!! I just can't find any unaccounted for Jameses, other than the two below. There are two possible candidates for my James GAMMILL (below), mostly because there wasn't further information on them that I could find. The others seemed to come with wives and children, already. Thoughtless of them. *James GAMMILL*, b. about 1808, s/o William GAMMILL (30 Apr 1768-12 Nov 1847) and Anne McGaughey (24 Sep 1774-29 May 1847). This family moved to Coles County, Illinois, however. I don't know if *this *James stayed in Tennessee until the 1840s when he moved to Missouri. It's not a totally far stretch to go from a birth date of "abt 1808" to 1797. This family intermarried with Balch, Parkes, Hix, et al. This one is more appealing, because this James had a brother, Andrew, who married a Jane WHITIS. The only James GAMMILL marriage record for Tennessee (Davidson County) I could find in the right time frame was to a Sallie WHITES, 22 Oct 1818, which would fit with the birth of a child to my James and Sarah in August 1819. *James H. GAMMILL*, b. 1794 Tennessee, s/o Thomas Bradley GAMBILL (1740-1806) and Susanna Fisher Nash (1751-1825). I have seen no papers with a middle initial "H," and his headstone has none, either. This family intermarried with families of Kennedy, Stewart, Word, et al. Another GAMMILL family line I looked at briefly last night is the William GAMBILL-Mary Johnson WASH line that started in Virginia with descendants moving to North Carolina. Given the above, does anyone have any information that my James GAMMILL could be the son of William and Anne? Do any of you Gammill folks in Bedford County have a family tradition of branches of your family migrated to Barry or Lawrence Counties, Missouri in the 1840s? Thanks for any help.
