There is quite a bit known of the families having names similar to Verble. I will try to give a quick as possible rundown, which isn't very quick. Perhaps you can share your known Verble ancestry and we can try to match your people up with ours.
Generally speaking, anybody using the name Warble today descends from an immigrant who came to Pennsylvania/Maryland in the 1730's-40's. His descendants stayed close to that general area for a few decades then began to branch out significantly thereafter. I am not an expert on this line and apologize where I went wrong. There is a very good and large book published in the 1990's on this family, whose author is active on the Internet.
There is a fairly well understood line descending from immigrant Philip Verble who married Maria Dorothea Egener in about 1748 northwest of Philadelphia. This couple moved in the 1750's to Rowan county, North Carolina. Generally speaking, any who today use the name Verble in America descend from this couple's son Jacob (and so my first guess is that you do, too). Jacob's brothers Philip Varble II and Revolutionary War Henry Varble moved to Kentucky in the 1780's. Generally speaking (there are probably exceptions) any living today in America that use the name Varble descend from these two brothers. One branch from these brothers uses the name Varbel, just to keep us alert.
There is another name Varvel or similar that persists to this day, as well. These people generally descend from a Varvel group that moved to Kentucky in the 1780's or 1790's, and lived generally a county away from the Varble's mentioned above. I am not an expert on these people, but all serious Varble researches eventually need to understand who the Varvel's are, and vice versa. Every few years a new idea comes up as to how they are related, but nothing has stuck so far.
So what do you think about all that? Why don't you tell your line back as far as you know it?
Thank you,
