Biography

Virginia Shearin is purported to be the wife of Joseph Kimball.

Disputed Origins & Uncertain Family

By tradition, Joseph Kimball is recognized by many southern Kimball/Kimbrell genealogists as the progenitor of the Southern branch of Kimballs, Kimbels, Kimbells, Kimbrells, Kimbriels, Kimbroughs, etc., who migrated from Virginia throughout the Southern States in the period 1700 to 1850, and beyond.

However, Joseph's origins and family are not proven. By tradition, Joseph had five sons:

  1. Charles Kimball (abt.1685-1795), m. Alice Moore.
  2. Benjamin Kimball Sr. (abt.1696-bef.1786), m. Elizabeth Moore.
  3. Joseph Kimball Sr. (1698-aft.1776), m. Sarah Hicks.
  4. William Kimball (bef.1701-aft.1762), marriage unknown.
  5. Peter Kimball (1706-1774), m. Winifred Gilliam.

Marriage
