According to the 1860 West Unity, Brady Twp federal census, p140b, the Gambells were enumerated as Hugh 35 NY wagonmaker, Rebecca 35 OH, and son Dexter 9/12 OH. The couple had children MJ (f) (5 Dec 1850 - 2 Oct 1852, buried in Rings Cemetery), and Horace Dexter (1859 – aft 1889).
Rebecca said on 1 Apr 1860 Hugh was extremely cruel. He was willfully absent for more than three years. He owned Lots 37 and 38 in West Unity.
