Descendants of William
Gamblin (1775-1851) and Joanna Seymour (1787-1851)
William Gamblin was born in
Wiveliscombe, Somersetshire, England in 1775. Wiveliscombe is about 200 kilometers
West of London at the intersection of B3227 and B3188 toward the Cornwall coast. He
was apprentice to a blacksmith, and joined the Royal Marines on January 3, 1805 at the age
of 29. In 1810, he married Joanna Seymour, and they came and settled in English
Settlement, New Brunswick, Canada, when it was a wilderness in 1818. (Today, English
Settlement is located in Pearsonville and Highfield which is South of Route 2 about 8 km
NW of Sussex.) Both are buried in the Woodland United Church Cemetery, Pearsonville, New
Brunswick, Canada.
