My GAMMILL/GAMMELL family came to AR from
Bedford Co, TN soon after AR became a state (1836).
They are all descended from a James
GAMMILL in NC, on Blue
Creek, I believe. They are primarily in Ouachita and
Dallas counties in AR, though there are probably 5 oher counties that have some of them, and one splinter became prominent as bankers in OK.
About 5 years ago I was contacted by a
GAMEL in the Netherlands and his family had apparently originated in Austria, being first traced there in the early 1700s.
Best wishes,
Ed
