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 and aunts. Everyone's DNA is different, a
My 8th great grandmother was Catherine Rambo DOB 1640 death 1699 married to Peter Nilsson Liacan 1658.
ReplyDeleteSorry, 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.
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie, I have these additional detail not yet put into the book and text file.
Delete[ 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)

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.
DeleteHi Deborah, Please e-mail me directly with additional information to rsbeatty@gmail.com
DeleteInteresting. 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!
