Seeking information on the parents of Robert GAMBLE. Robert was born
6 Mar 1780 in VA (maybe old Halifax County or Amelia County). He may
have married his first wife in Amelia County (name unknown) circa
1800. Robert had two brothers, Andrew and John. The brothers were
born between 1775 and 1795.
By 1808, Robert and Andrew had removed to White County, TN. In 1811,
Robert was a founding elder of the Old Union Cumberland Presbyterian
Church in White County, TN. By 1812, their brother John Gamble had
joined them in White County. After the 1820 Census, John had migrated
elsewhere or had died. Robert stayed as well as Andrew and his son.
From 1864-1868, Andrew's son Andrew J GAMBLE, served as sheriff of
White County, TN. Robert lived near Sparta until finally moving to
Van Buren County, TN where he died on 14 Oct 1862. He is buried at
Forsythe Cemetery, on Raymond Guy's farm, off Creek Road.
Around 1823-1824, Robert GAMBLE married Margaret GILLENTINE (daughter
of Nicholas GILLENTINE and Jane Elizabeth TeRRY)
