Hi, listees, I am new to your list, posting for the first time. Seeking parents, earlier ancestors of 4x greatgrandparents: James GAMMILL (Gamel,Gambill,Gambell) (30 Sep 1797,TN-22 Apr 1874, Buck Prairie Twp, Lawrence Co., MO) and wife Sarah LNU (27 Nov 1799, NC-1 Aug 1885, Lawrence Co., MO). James Gammill lived in Bedford Co. from early 1800s until moving to Buck Prairie Township, Missouri cir. 1848; possibly he was born there. There are several James Gammills, but spouses or children don't fit. I hope someone reading this will have some concrete information on my earlier GAMMILLs. The only marriage reference for James GAMMILL that might fit was a James Gammill to Sally WHITES, 22 Oct 1818, but in Davidson County. There were WHITES in Bedford Co., too. Their first child was born Aug 1819, which would fit. Also, there is an Andrew GAMMILL who married Jane WHITIS, but I don't know if he is related. Does anyone have information that would confirm that Sarah was actually "Sally" WHITES? Or any other ideas about her maiden name and parents? The children of James and Sarah GAMMILL were all born in Bedford Co.: Elizabeth A., Charles Newton (my 3x ggf), Nancy Caroline, Lucinda J., Sarah Evaline, Talitha A., Harriet Meddline, Samuel Harrison, and Joseph J. They all moved en masse to Buck Prairie Township, Lawrence Co., Missouri in the late 1840s. Other Bedford residents whose ancestors I am researching: 4xggf Daniel L. MALLARD (abt. 1805, TN-Oct 1841, Bedford Co. Very interested in finding his parents, exact birth and death dates, and grave. 5xggp William HIX (abt. 1774, Campbell, VA-abt. 1839, Flat Creek, Bedford Co., and his wife Sarah L. COLLINS (20 Nov 1778, Halifax, VA-bef 4 Aug 1852, Bedford Co. Anyone know where he and his wife Sarah are buried? All assistance appreciated. Very willing to share what I have.

The wind scatters the leaves on the ground, but the live timber burgeons with leaves again in the season of spring returning. So one generation of men will grow while another dies." Iliad, VI.146-150, trans. Lattimore. So, tell me again, why the heck am I raking up all these leaves?

I am interested in the burial place(s) of the Hix couple you mentioned. I am from the John Hix (Jr.) line, brother of this William, and I have a PAF program where I am filling in the blanks. There is a line of Gammills that I am distantly related to in 2 ways--through a Parkes line and through the Hix line. These are mostly from Bedford and Moore counties in TN.
