Have a keen interest in sharing info on the German Gobbell family that settled in Rowan Co., N.C. Later many moved on to other states. My ancestors came to Bedford,Lawrence and Wayne Counties in Tn. My lineage is this: Johann Jacob Gabel(1),Johann Friedrick Gabel(2), Johann Nicholas Gabel(3) Jacob Gobbel(4) John Gobbel(5)who married Ruhamy Maner, James Riley Gobbell(6)......... My brickwall is who did James Riley Gobbell marry probably about 1850, most likely in Bedford Co., Tn. or nearby.
