GAMBELL, GAMBILL, GAMBREL, GAMBRELL (or any of the other spellings of
this name) I am trying to find any information I can about the GAMBILL family who came into TN from Wilkes County NC. If anyone has any knowledge of Thomas Gambill who married Suckey BREWER , or John GAMBILL who may have been in Green, Grainger, White, Roane, or Giles counties TN please contact me. The missing puzzle piece is placing Thomas and Suckey with the names of their children. I have proof of all my other research but this vital piece is keeping me from going back 3 more generations. The time period is from the mid 1790's to the early 1800's (up to 1820) Thank you very much

Albert Loyd Starnes
Fri Sep 6 07:29:50 1996 LOYD
Trying to find information on Charles LOYD who lived in Green Co., TN
from 1830 - 1870. Need to find who his father was. Anyone researching
this surname?
The following is information that I have gathered.
1850 census lists Charles's age as 33 making birth around 1817. In 1860
census it lists his age as 41, making birth around 1819. In 1880 census
shows his age as 61, making his birth around 1819 as well. Pleasant Vale
cemetery records show his birth date 6/29/1814. Seeing as two different
census years indicate birth to be around 1819, I feel that they are more
accurate. 1880 census also shows that he was born in Tennessee, and that
his father and mother were both from Virginia. He is living with
"adopted daughter" Jane E. Jones (35).
ERASMUS LOYD had a daughter by the name of ELIZA JANE. Charles was the
executor of ERASMUS' estate. Could this Eliza
truely be an "adopted" daughter?
Per information gathered by Pat Rowe, genealogy researcher for the
Greeneville Library, she believes that Charles' father could have been
either a Thomas or Robertson/Robinson Loyd.
After further research on my own, I'm inclined to believe that Charles is
the son of ROBINSON LOYD and PHEOBE PHILLIPS. Reasons: When Charles
marries, Britton PHILLIPS is a witness. Charles PHILLIPS was a brother
to Pheobe PHILLIPS who were the children of Dyer Phillips who loaned
money to JAMES LOYD
as shown in court records. Apparently, Charles Loyd may have been named
after his "mother's" brother CHARLES PHILLIPS.
Charles and Margaret's wedding was from Greene Co. TN Marriages 1783-1868
book by Goldene Fillers Burgner c. 1981. It shows that ROBINSON LOYD and
PHOEBE PHILLIPS were married Dec. 30, 1807. Charles and Margaret had a
BRITTAIN PHILLIPS as one of their witnesses. This could be another
possible connection between these two LOYD families.
There are no land records that would indicate that there is a connection
to Robinson Loyd seeing as most all of the land that Charles acquires is
through his wife Margaret's side of the family....ROGERS.
