Some of you I have corresponded with before and probably I
haven't. I
have
some questions about the earlier Cables - there were a couple things
published on the Cable family: A Histoyr of the Cable Family (about
25
pages) and info in the book(s) Two Centuries of Brothersvalley.
I feel some of the people shown are connected to the wrong families
and was
wondering if anyone else has done research on their own that would be
willing
to discuss with me? It's been awhile since I've worked on
this family
so
will have to review my info again and get familiar with it.
I would agree that there is conflicting information out there. I have
found, in my own CABLE searching, that the family was a large one, with
first names being repeated frequently. I am not aware of any CABLE
family bible or other vital records for the early CABLES, except for a
will & probate for Philip CABLE, husband of Maria BRADY.
As for my own direct line, there are some specific unresolved questions.
For example, my line is:
1 Philip (Filbs) (Kebell, Köbell) Cable b. c.1700/1710 Wittgenstein,
Palatinate, Germany d. AFT 29 JAN 1780 Warrington Twp, York Co, PA
m. Maria (Mary) Brady b. 1697 Wittgenstein, Palatinate, Germany
2 Jacob Cable b. c.1729-32 Switzerland or PA, USA d. 1816 Jefferson
Co, OH ?
m. 1750 MD Mary Christina Walker b. 24 MAY 1793 MD d. c.1816
Jefferson Co, OH
(There are different versions as to who Jacob married, as well as
whether jacob CABLE, father of John Martin CABLE (below) was in fact the
son of Philip CABLE + Maria BRADY.)
(Also, in Two Centuries of Brothersvalley, there are different
references to Jacob, leaving room for some confusion).
3 John Martin Cable b. 15 NOV 1750 Franklin Co, PA d. 06 JUL 1812
Dayton, Montgomery Co, OH
m. c.1768/73 Bedford Co, PA Christiana Mary (Repley, Rampley)
Ripley b. 30 OCT 1752 d. 1823 Montgomery Co, OH
(John Martin CABLE's wife is a question as well. Most researchers have
her as Christiana Mary [or Mary Chrtistiana] RAMPLEY / RIPLEY / REPLEY.
I do not know her parents' names.
Other researchers show his wife as Mary Christina WARNER. There are
several CABLE wives with the first name Mary, with similar last names.)
4 Martha Magdalena Cable b. 27 NOV 1783 (Cambria Co, PA) or (MD) ?
d. 16 JUN 1867 Athens Co, OH
m. 08 AUG 1797 Black Lick Twp, Indiana Co, PA Christopher
(Harrold) Herrold b. 01 MAR 1777 Hempfield Twp, Westmoreland Co, PA d.
25 AUG 1823 Beaumont, Ames Twp, Athens Co, OH
(Christopher HERROLD = my direct line)
m. 23 NOV 1823 Athens Co, OH Silas (Sylas) Bingham b. 24/29 JUL
1758 Salisbury, Litchfield Co, CT d. 15 MAY 1840 Dover Twp, Athens Co,
OH
m. 15 JAN 1846 Athens Co, OH John Jackson b. 31 AUG 1790 ? d.
27 NOV 1867 ?
(I have better information on Martha, although I do not have a birth
record)
Any help will be appreciated,
