Henry Gambrell (Ca 1700 - By 1768) married Mary Davenport around 1735. Legal records indicate that Henry resided in Louisa, Spotsylvania, Albemarle, Hanover, and Culpeper Counties in Virginia. He was a legal witness for Martin Davenport, his wife's father, in Hanover County, Virginia, in 1735, and purchased 175 acres of land on Little Rocky Creek in Hanover County, Virginia during the same year.
In 1753, Henry purchased 900 acres of land in Culpeper County from Thomas Kennerly of South Carolina. John Minor of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, in his will executed in 1754, even refers to "land lately bough of Henry Gambrell in Culpeper".
Henry and Mary had at least seven children - six sons and a daughter. Their children were: William, Benjamin, Henry, John, Thomas, Martin, and Sarah.
This family probably lived in an area known as Gambrell's Mountain in Culpeper County, Virginia. Various court and service-connected records were recorded for Gambrells in the Culpeper region during the 1750-1780's era.
Benjamin, Henry, John, and William are listed as witnesses in the 1764 Culpeper Court minutes, which was the only book preserved before 1798. Henry and John were sergeants in the Culpeper Militia under Colonel Thomas Slaugher. This group orgaed in August, 1755. For their service of approximately one year, Henry and John were each paid 1,710 pounds of tobacco in April, 1756. A David Gambrell also received pay on 5 Oct 1775,for service under Lord Dunmore. A payment was made to Thomas Gambrell, aninfantry soldier, on 24 July 1786. James and William were listed as Virginians in the Revolution. Matthew and Henry were noted living adjacent to the Albemarle Barracks in 1781. In fact, there were numerous Gambrells in Albemarle County, Virginia, in the mid to late 1700's. The Gambrells in the Albemarle County, Virginia area were even listed in the historical aspect when the county was formed in 1745. Richard was a long time Tobacco Inspector at the Henderson's Tobacco Warehouse. John was listed as a member of the Orthodox Reformed Presbyterian Church Congregation who hired Rev. Samuel Black on 29 March 1747. Henry (maybe Jr.) built the second jail in the county around 1783, and was on the 1785 Virginia Taxpayer List as a head of a family of 10. As late as 1796, Matthew Gambrell received a land grant of 25,798 acres of land in Albemarle, Orange, and Rockingham Counties. Hence, the Gambrells appeared to migrate to western Virginia or to western Carolina during the late 1700's.

Henry and Mary's son, William, Sr. (1740 - 1779), was one of several brothers who were pioneers of Wilkes County, North Carolina around 1772. William received three land grants totaling 937 acres of land near what is presently known as the west fork of Roaring River. He married Mary Johnson Washington, probably in Louisa County, Virginia. Mary may have been married before; however, her father's name was Thomas Washington, and William did not seem to make any distinction in their seven children. It is believed that William, Sr.'s gravesite in the Walnut Grove Community in Wilkes County, North Carolina may have been washed away by the 1916 flood.

____________________
NANCY WHITE'S LEGACY LIVES by Gwendolyn Wingate, staff correspondent. (Top of page is cut off but believe it appeared in an Orange, TX newspaper. (Sent by Barbara Vernon)

Lusty, lovely Nancy White was four times married, and her offspring were among Texas' first settlers. Today's descendants may number in the thousands.
There is no known picture of the enigmatic Nancy, but even from the dry, precise legal documents that record her actions, she emerges full-bodied and alluring. Desiring and desirable, strong-willed and physically hardy, she steps out faded pages and takes possession of the imagination.
Nancy, or Ann, as her name is often recorded, was born to John White and Sarah Gambel a few years before the Am. Revolution. White is said to have descended from emigrants from the Isle of Wight on the southern coast of England. The ear in early records as householders in Virginia, but in the 1770's they were involved in the Regulator troubles in Burke Co., NC that preceded the revolution. Planters in the Carolina uplands rebelled against extortionate tax collectors of Gov. William Tyron, and two of the White brothers were beaten nearly to death during a riot. One was shot in the arm during the foray and lost the use of that arm, says an old court record. Six Regulators were hung and others killed by the governor's militia.
Nancy could barely have remembered these bloody troubles, but it may have been because of them that the Whites moved on for a brief stay in Mississippi and then in the 1780's to the Attakapas dist. of Louisiana. That district, then undh rule, was made up of scattered settlements of Arcadians who had been expelled from Nova Scotia; Spanish from the Canary Islands who settled near present day New Iberia; a few Indians, some of the Attakapas tribe from which the district took its name; and trappers, traders and ranchers, some from the United States.
Life was not easy in that pioneer land, Nancy's mother was a midwife assisting at the birthing of children. She bore nine of her own. John White was probably a farmer and cattleman, perhaps branding his own wild cattle of the coastal p, remnants of stock introduced by the Avoyelles Indians trading with the Spanish in Mexico. John White registered brands for himself and his son William in 1790.
It was here in 1787 that the young Nancy fell in love with David Harmon and was married. The 1792 Spanish militia census for that post shows that Harmon, then 35, was a fusilier or infantryman. He was one of the few Americans listed amoles, Acadians and Europeans.
Nancy and David Harmon had three children, Ann, John and Sarah. Their youngest daughter was born in 1792, the same year St. Martin's Parish records list an inventory of David Harmon's estate after his death. Those precisely written documents voice neither joy nor pain, but Nancy must have remembered her first love throughout her long life. She named a later son David.
The young widow may have returned to her father's home with her children. She must have had some education, uncommon in that day for a woman, and she must have given her children some schooling, for both she and they signed their name on nts rather than making a mark. In 1804 she or her father registered brands for her children at St. Martinville.
But by that time Nancy was no longer the widow Harmon. A marriage contract penned carefully in Spanish proclaims the union on Feb 24 1794, at the Attakapas Post of "the Widow Ane Wit, elder and ligitimate daughter of Jean Wit and Sara Gamative of Carolina…and, Joseph Carr of Jamaica, elder and legitimate son of Hugo Carr and Mrs. Marguerite Halfair of Jamaica." Officiating officer was the post commandant, Francisco Cago y Luongo, and the bride's brothers, William and Jesse White were witnesses.
According to the contract the groom, who was probably of Scottish descent, brought to his marriage 1000 piastres (worth about $1 each) in notes, belongings consisting of 275 piastres, and other property commensurate with Nancy's half of thunity division from her marriage to Harmon.
Nancy bore a son, William, and a daughter, Lucy, to Joseph Carr. But perhaps it was too soon after the loss of her first love, or maybe Carr had an insatiable wanderlust. He disappeared from the scene, and subsequent documents never ro Nancy as the widow Carr. Stories passed down through the generation's hint that Carr was a freebooter and adventurer. A man by that name took part in the 1812 Gutierrez expedition that attempted to wrest Texas from Spain. The expedition failed and if indeed Carr was with them, there is no clue to what happened to him.
A few years later Nancy married George Burrell, or Borel as he sometimes appears. He and his family had been in the district as early as 1782 and were probably neighbors of the Whites. He and Maria Dunman were baptismal sponsors of Nancnger sister Sarah in 1801.
Nancy's life with George Burrell may have lacked the ecstasy she knew with David Harman, but in maturity they must have brought warmth and understanding to the marriage that lasted nearly 20 years. She named her oldest son Robert, and the younger, David.
The children of Nancy White's three marriages would play an important part of the history of Jefferson, Orange and Chambers counties. In 1830 John Harmon veteran of the War of 1812 and son of her first love David, settled near Adams Bayouat is now Orange. John's son David had come to Texas a year earlier, and Nancy's daughter Sarah, who married Absalom Gray came in 1833.
One of John Harmon's son Joshua, was the ancestor of the Harmon saddlemakers of Hankamer. His other children married Pevitos, Patillos, Blands, Coles and Means most of who were also early settlers.
William Carr was a part of Stephen F. Austin's third colony, claiming the William Carr League along Taylor's Bayou near LaBelle. He may have gotten additional land for furnishing horses to the TX. Revolutionists.
David Burrell settled near Taylors Bayou in 1828, claiming the league of land that bears his name. His nephew, George, his brother Robert's son, married Nancy French, daughter of John J. French of the trading post. Their son, J.J. Burrelrried a cousin, Alzena Carr, daughter of Nancy White's son, William Carr.
Probably all of Nancy's brothers and sisters except Jesse also settled in Texas. Her brother, James Taylor White, was in Chambers Co. before the TX Revolution and it was at his ranch that the Turtle Bayou resolutions were drawn up, an earlyfrontation of Texans and Mexicans. Nancy White Burrell herself claimed land in McLennan Co. which was later lost by her heirs in a lawsuit.
By 1824 when Nancy made a settlement with her dau. Sarah Harmon for her share of her father's estate, Nancy was again a widow. But her love life was not over. Opelousas marriage records reveal that on June 8 1828, she married Jacob Hamshire
Nancy was now past childbearing age, but Hamshire's descendants from an earlier marriage would also leave their mark on area history. His son John was one of High Island's early settlers and the town of Hamshire would take its name from the surname of his grandson, Lovan. An early Jefferson co. sheriff, David Garner married a Matilda Hamshire in 1839, who was a granddaughter of Jacob's.
Other descendants of Nancy's, to name a few, are Clubbs, Moors, Dugars (Dugats), Jetts, Abshiers, Walles, Norwoods, Harrises, Pruetts, Wilcoxes, Gatlins, Hayes, Aubeys, Hargraves, Wingates, Alexanders, Van Wormers, Hoffpauirs, Heimans, Boused many others.
When did Nancy die? And where is she buried? Some say in a half-forgotten cemetry near Duncan Woods in Orange Co. No one knows for sure.

Died:
The date of her death, or the place seems to be only conjecture, no actual records of her death appear to have been found. However, if her husband died in 1850 in St. Landry it doesn't seem likely she would be in Orange, unless his date/place of death is not accurate. Her son James Harmon settled in Orange, but have not been able to find her in his household.

James Taylor White, who settled at Turtle Bayou near Anahuac in 1818, was the first significant cattleman along the upper Texas coast.15 An early, anonymous writer credited White?s herd as numbering 3,000 head in 1831,16 whereas another writer quoted the herd?s size at 10,000 head in 1840. This writer claimed that when White died in 1851, he had $150,000 banked in New Orleans, the proceeds of his cattle sales there.17

Handbook of Texas
WHITE, JAMES TAYLOR (1789-1852). James Taylor White (known as Taylor White), cattleman and rancher, son of John and Sarah (Gambel) White, was born on July 28, 1789, in Louisiana. During the 1780s his family probably moved to Louisiana from the Carolinas, where his grandfather had received a land grant in 1757. Taylor White married Sarah Cade, daughter of James and Polly (Nichols) Cade, on January 26, 1813, at St. Martin of Tours Church in St. Martinville, Louisiana.

In 1828 White drove his small herd of Spanish, or longhorn, cattle along the old Opelousas Road to Texas; he settled near Turtle Bayou. His cattle grazed on land bordered on the west by Galveston Bay and on the south by the Gulf of Mexico. The Turtle Bayou Resolutions were signed near his home. By 1840 White had acquired 4,605 acres of land in Liberty (now Chambers) County and paid taxes on 1,775 head of cattle and forty-five horses.

During the late 1830s or early 1840s, White began driving cattle to New Orleans. He deposited money from the sales of these cattle at banks in New Orleans and eventually put much of it back into the business of raising cattle. He attributed his success to his hard work and single-mindedness. He was also known to be innovative in his techniques. For example, he burned the land periodically to make way for new grass for his animals, a practice unheard of in his time.

White came to be known as the Cattle King of Southeast Texas. Two cattle brands, the JTW and the Crossed W, have been associated with White's Texas ranching operation. The Crossed W was reportedly willed to White by his father, also a cattleman, who died in 1806. Some sources claim that as of the late 1930s, both were among the oldest continuously used cattle brands in the state.

James Taylor White and his wife had seven children. He died, probably of cholera, in March 1852 at his home. In a nearby family plot he is buried with his wife, who died nine days later.

WHITE, REUBEN (1795-ca. 1848). Reuben White, one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred, was the son of William and Amy White and was born in 1795 in what is now Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. In the War of 1812 he served in Capt. Shadrack Porter's Company, Baker's Regiment, Louisiana Militia. He married Christina Faulk on June 15, 1818. They had at least eight children. The family was Catholic. He moved to Texas in 1824 with his widowed mother and received his grant of one league on the east bank of the San Jacinto River. He was listed with his family in the Atascosito Census in 1826 as a farmer and stock raiser. Reuben and his brother Henry White were on the grand jury of Harris County in 1837. In 1838 he appeared before the Board of Land Commissioners of Harris County to petition for one labor of land due him as a colonist. He appeared on the Ad Valorem Tax Rolls of the Republic of Texas in 1837 and in subsequent years. His taxable property (after considerable exemptions) was 2,214 acres of land, two pleasure horses, 150 cattle, and one clock. He was a successful farmer-rancher of the period. Reuben White died before October 1848, as proven by a probate court record of his estate in Harris County in 1848. After White died, his widow married Hervey Whiting. In 1854 she married Isaac Curtis, and in the 1860 census she and her two youngest sons were living with a son-in-law, Thomas W. McComb, at Lynchburg.

No sources here, but I show that William m (1) Charlotte Holst abt 1815
>(2) Nancy Lee 1819 - she died 1849 (3) Charlotte Ender 15 Oct 1851 Jefferson Co, TX. I don't have any of the kids.

That's curious. I have Nancy as #1, married about 1822 and Charlotte as #2, married after 1823. But I don't recall who sent me this info or if any sources came with it. We need to find out because if Nancy was #2, then she was mother of all of William's known children.

The marriage of William Carr and Charlotte (?) Ender is dated 30 Oct 1851 in _Jefferson County, Texas Marriage Records, 1837-1899_ compiled and published by Mrs. Frances Terry Ingmire. Charlotte was born in Germany and apparently the second wife of Jacob Ender. One of her step-children married one of William's sons.

William's children, all listed on the 1850 Jefferson Co census, were Levi, Rachel, John, Sarah, Mary Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Matilda, Serena, Alzena.
Alzena married John Jay Burrell, son of George and Nancy Eliza French.

Listed on 1844 Texas tax records.

Burrells First 30
It is believe the first settlers (under Mexican government then) in this area were the Burrell brothers, David and Robert, who lived on the tract of land at Taylor's bayou, which the Mexican government titled to David. That was in the third dade of the 1800s. Other families in that section in the early 1800 were W.H. Smiths, Joseph Roberts at a place now known as Hampshire, Tap Ashworth who lived south of the bayou, John Jap French who settled on the north side of the bayou.
Joseph Gallier, James Taylor, Bennett Blackman, William Carr, Lovan Hamshire, Joshuah Harmon, Michael Pevito (a Frenchman from New Orleans) David Garner, David C. Lawhon, Taylor White, are all the settlers of the 1830-1850 era. They settledn the section of the waters known as Bayou Las Flores, Rosebud bayou, Mayhaw bayou, and Turtle bayou. Taylor's bayou was named for Taylor White.

excerpt from Strong Spell swam river ferrying lead steer of herd
By W. T. Block
Reprinted from Beaumont Enterprise, Saturday July 17, 1999.

By 1835 trail herds of New Orleans-bound cattle passed frequently through Beaumont, and the first city council of 1840 required a $50 bond for crossing a herd and charged $6 for each drowned animal removed from the river.

Among the earliest ranchers who drove cattle to the New Orleans market were James Taylor White of Turtle Bayou, David Burrell and William Carr of Fannett, John McGaffey of Sabine Pass, and Christiam Hillebandt of Labelle. C. T. Cade and the renowned ‘Shanghai’ Pierce were the best-known cattlemen who drove large herds through Beaumont.

The shipping season for cattle lasted from October until the following May. In Feb.-March, 1856, 114 trail herds passed through Beaumont, for an average of 2 herds daily. Herd sizes varied from as few as 300 heads to as many as 2,000 steers

David married Caroline (..) Burrell about 1835 in Jefferson Co (possibly), Texas. Caroline was born in 1813 in Mississippi; died after 1850. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
