About Robert Cox Gambill

Notes: Apparently ackowledged in his will that he had taken advantage of a young widow (America Eller Whittington) and provided for Nora (Nora Caroline Whittington).

Mom did not know exact details, but thought the name was William. Charts located in Dad's papers one filled out by him and one by his older brother James list "Robert" as the father, Dad's lists "Martin" as grand-father while James listed 'Patsy'

All would have been about America's age and would have been alive when Ruth Weaver was about 16 (1910). All three buried at Elk Creek Church Cemetery.
