Note: NATHANIEL N. GAMBLE was a son of James and Isabella (Nesbit) Gamble, who emigrated from Ireland and came to this country in 1811, settling in Wilmot township, where they remained on their farm until death, the father dying October 10, 1865, and the mother July 23, 1868. Their children were twelve in number, all born in this country, except the eldest, Margaret, who was brought here with her parents at the age of one year, and who became the wife of Robert Morrow; then comes William; then John, who died aged nineteen; Nathaniel N. was the fourth in order of birth; then came Elizabeth; Jane (married to David Currier); Joseph; George S.; James S. (who emigrated to Michigan); Abagail; Debbie H., and Jonathan (last of whom died in infancy). The subject of this sketch was reared on his father's farm, where he remained until reaching manhood, and engaged in farming. He was married, in Herrick township, February 21, 1856, to Mary Ann Mitten, daughter of Thomas and Jane (Wood) Mitten, both of Irish blood. Mr. And Mrs. Gamble were the parents of four children; Thomas J., Charles R. (married to Minnie Smith; he died March 27, 1890, leaving a widow and two children), Amelia (Mrs. Fred Dodge, who has two children) and Eliza (died January 29, 1888, aged twenty-three). Mrs. Nathaniel N. Gamble died in Wilmot township, April 3, 1869. Nathaniel N. Gamble removed to Warren Centre in 1875, and there made his family home until his death, which occurred August 19, 1891, when he was aged seventy-five years and ten months. Thus it will be seen that the Gamble family were of the early settlers of Bradford county, and they long since have been esteemed among the best of our people; honorable, industrious and frugal, the immigrants came here poor, but soon carved their way to a competence, and surrounded
