I am a HANKS descendant connected to the GABLE family through Henry Gable, Jr. and Martha Hanks.

Would like to exchange HANKS information with any Gable families members willing to share.

Notes for Henry Gable:
      "He was a local preacher in the Methodist Church in South Carolina. He was a slave holder. He knew how to use simple remedies to treat diseases and was in great demand among simple people of the countryside, as doctors were scarce. He travelled far and wide to render his services and never accepted a penny in payment." Source: Donald G. Hervey, Mayflower to the Moon: Herveys & Gables (Houston, 1980), pp. 508-9.
      Appears in the 1850 U. S. Census, Anderson County, SC, Western Subdivision, pg. 201B (652/656).
      One researcher has suggested that Henry Gable is not the son of the immigrant John Gable, but is instead that same Henry Gable who was the son of Harmon Gable [Sr.] Source: Clifford Merck, GenForum, Gable Family message board. This suggestion merits further study.
