      Sorry, but I've never heard of such a person. Can you cite any contemporary documents from the 1600s that name her as his wife? I do NOT believe Ancestry trees at all.

    I came here looking for further information on the family of John Rambo and Lydia Neal. They were both born in Washington County Virginia and moved to Somerset, Kentucky. My G-G-grandmother was Dorcus Elizabeth Rambo, married my GG grandfather, John Franklin Kervin and moved to Alabama around 1868. Thank you for sharing this work.

      Hi Carrie, I have these additional detail not yet put into the book and text file.

      [ Details: Who was the John L. and Eliza Rambo who had child Wm. James Rambo, b. 20 Nov 1853 in Washington Co., VA[673],, p. 118 - Maybe John Larrimore Rambo?
      Also estate of J. L. Rambo administered by the sheriff in 1888, will book 23:338 mentions David Rambo, decd, and assignee of James Rambo;
      will book 23:347 shows estate of David Rambo with distributions in equal shares to W.G. Fleenor, E.G. Linder, J.D. Linder, and E.F. Price & wife;
      Also inventory of estate of Samuel P. Neal in 1856 will book 14:195 shows admin. John L. Rambo. I think this John L. is #124241 above)
      ] [ Details: Who was the Emanuel Rambo, aged 24, who m. Ann Hawk, aged 23, in Washington Co., VA on 15 Mar 1874, dau of Andrew & Sally Hawk. Marriage by John E. Harris, a Methodist minister.(338),, Register of Marriages N-Z through 1902, p. 397),(672),, p. 294)
      ] [ Research needed: Court case John Rambo Jr. vs Barbara Roody in 1848 minutes book 8:265
      ]

      I came her for information regarding John A. Rambo and Eliza Hagate Rambo line. They would be my 2nd great grandparents. I have traced back to the 1600's I believe and have quite a lot of information and not sure how to put it all together. Any help/information you could share would be greatly appreciated.

      Interesting. I need to sit down and map it to see if there is a direct connection. Even so, all the Rambo's are related somehow. Thanks!

Elias Rambo [#XXXXM] son of Jacob [31C6]

This blog was prompted by the discovery by Katt Rambo of a court case in Sevier County, Tennessee discussing probate of property belonging to Henry Rambo deceased and naming his heirs, one of whom was Elias Rambo of Mississippi [#XXXXM] in the Rambo Family Tree, hereafter referred to as The Book.  One of his sisters named in the court case was Rona McCroskey and the 1850 census revealed her name to actually be Rheuhemiah McCroskey with a daughter of the same name.  From there it was a short jump to deciding that Jacob Rambo of North Carolina who married Rheuhemiah Sulcer and bought property in adjoining Sevier County Tennessee in 1810 must be the father.  So far, the name Rheuhemiah is the only proof of the relationship, but it is an incredibly unusual name. Unfortunately Jacob and Rheumehiah left very few footprints, their whereabouts are still mostly conjecture, and their dates and places of death are entirely unknown. Here are the jpegs: Katt, we need to add the ...

Nimrod Taylor's children documented, wife named only Phoebe

Image
The good news is that Jeanette Kennedy sent me a legal document proving all the children of Nimrod Taylor.  The bad news is that their mother is named Phoebe, last name not known.  I never want to see any amateur, fiction-writing "genealogist" naming her as Judith Phoebe Bankston.  But mark my words, within a year some idiot will do exactly that, and it will soon be in hundreds of Ancestry trees, another rumor that refuses to die.  But that is a good way to winnow the wheat from the chaff, as with all the other rumors that refuse to die.  If you see a tree with that name, you will know that you are looking at a garbage collection instead of a genealogy, and you can safely ignore the entire tree as worthless.   E'nuf of that.   If you are interested to discover Phoebe's maiden name, you need to get the DNA tested for all of your oldest relatives who are willing to do a DNA test, especially grandparents, parents, and uncles ...
