Biography
John Gamble's son, Major Robert Gamble (1813-1906), played an important role in Florida history. He, too, was born in Virginia and made the journey to Florida as a boy. He was trained at West Point and served in the Second Seminole War and in the Civil War. The close of the war saw the opening of Manatee County for settlement and the Major gradually built a sugar plantation there of 3500 acres. Gamble sold the plantation in 1858 and returned to Tallahassee. He married Laura Wirt Randall, granddaughter of William Wirt, Attorney General of the United States under James Monroe.
