A Thomas Gambill appeared on the 1779 Wilkes Co. Tax List.
By 1782, all the remaining Gambills had left Culpeper County, Virginia; none were listed on the 1782 Culpeper County Tax List.
Most of those that did not migrate to Wilkes County, North Carolina, moved to Rockingham and other counties in western Virginia.
When the three Gambill brothers came to then Surry Co., N.C. is not clear due to missing Tax Lists for certain years and no land grants in North Carolina after the death of Earl Granville in March 1763 until the State of North Carolina took over and started issuing land grants in March 1778, which led most early settlers living as "squatters" on the land they finally patented in 1778-1782.
Martin Gambill was in then Surry County by 1771 and William Gambill by 1777 and John Gambill not until early 1778 because he signed a Lease agreement in Culpeper Co. 26 Oct. 1777 and assigned that lease to others 3 March 1778.
NOTES ON WIFE
THOMAS DAVENPORT parents
Efforts have been unsuccessful to identify this Thomas Davenport and tie him to one of the Davenports known to have been related to the ancestors of Mary Gambill.
Records indicate that apparently only one Gambill and one Davenport family moved to Culpeper County, Virginia, both ca 1752, namely: Henry Gambill family and this unidentified Thomas Davenport families.
Could Thomas have also lived in Louisa Co., VA. prior to the move?
Henry Gambill was Mary Gambill’s Grandfather and her Gr. Grandfather was Martin Davenport.
Was this unidentified Davenport related to Martin Davenport?
Three of the four persons participating in this research project are descendants of Mary Gambill, who m. Fielding Lewis ca 1790.
Since this Thomas Davenport was old enough to witness documents in Culpeper Co., VA. in 1752 he was no doubt born by 1730, an age to have been a son or brother of one of the earlier Davenports who lived in this area at that time.
He may have died in Culpeper County but, if so, his will is not listed in the index for VIRGINIA WILLS AND ADMINISTRATIONS, 1632-1800, compiled by Clarence Torrence, publ. 1965 by Genealogy Publishing Co, Inc., Baltimore.
