Col. John Ambler was the son of Edward and Mary Cary Ambler (Mary was the daughter of Wilson Cary and his wife Sarah) and he was the first cousin of Mary "Polly" Willis Ambler, wife of Chief Justice John Marshall.
Fifth child of Edward Ambler and Mary Cary, his wife. After 1782, he was the only surviving child of Edward and Mary Ambler. He was born in the town of Little York, and while a child was taken to Jamestown. At twelve years of age, his mother took him to Baltimore to be inoculated for the smallpox, at which city she remained with him until he had recovered from the dreadful disease. John Ambler was sent to Philadelphia to school, where he remained until the Revolutionary War broke out. The war prevented his being sent to England to be educated, as his father's will had directed.
During the war John Ambler remained at "The Cottage," in Hanover County, Virginia. He went to school in the neighborhood to a man named Bates.
"Son of Edward Ambler, of Jamestown, Virginia, went to Philadelphia to school, and in 1782 fell heir to Jamestown Island and all the other great estates of his parents. He served in the legislature at twenty-one and was the captain of a cavalry troop of James City County. He removed to Richmond in 1807 and was made major of the Nineteenth Regiment of Virginia Militia, commanding the troops which were sent to Norfolk at the time of the attack on the Chesapeake; afterwards was made colonel of the Nineteenth Regiment of state troops and served in the war of 1812.
He was one of the jury that tried Aaron Burr for treason. He died April 8, 1836, and was buried in Shockoe Cemetery, Richmond."
