My gggrandfather James Riley Gobbell was living with his parents in Lincoln Co in the 1850 census. He had a son John Richardson Gobbell born in 1853. I do not know the mother of John Richardson Gobbell. It's a long shot but I'm thinking her maiden name may have been Richardson. I have one lead that she may have been Ann Prince. I have been unable to verify this. Will any of you Lincoln Co. folks use your research info to help me? I'd sure like to know who my gggrandmother was. James Riley Gobbell and son were living in Wayne Co. Tn at the time of the 1860 census and he was married to a widowed mother of two. I know he was in Wayne Co. by 1853 but don't know about John Richardson Gobbell's mother. I believe he married first before leaving Lincoln Co. It's possible that his first wife died from childbirth or that she didn't want to go to Wayne Co. The possibilities are many. Thanks. ` Harold Gobbell
