Robert Gabriell Barnhill was Christioned January 4th, 1627 at Glascow, Scotland. It is presently assumed he was about a week to 10 days old at the time of his Christioning. Regarding two of Robert Gabriell's sons: David Lee Barnhill, genealosist, writes his belief to me, "That John Barnhill and his brother, Samuel, had gone to Ireland with William of Orange in the battle against the English Catholic King James I. That they had remained in Ireland, with their families remaining in Scotland because they lacked the funds to return home. " He goes on to state, "That after the defeat of King James I and William began his reign with his wife, as William and Mary, who oddly enough was the daughter of King James II , they designated large portions of land taken from the Catholics to Scottish Protestants, whereby John and Samuel brought their families to what is now Northern Ireland". NOTE: in researching Robert Gabriell, you may also find him referred to as "Gabriel". The logical conclusion to this is that those who knew him called him Gabriel. There is no documentation confirming the parentage of Robert. My assumption is that this is the only family that continued to partake of the ordinances of the Catholic Church of Glascow. - Researched 1998 by Stan Barnhill - Midland, Texas
