Rambo Family Tree Ronald S Beatty 2.º edición

The children and descendants of Gertrude (Rambo) Bankson, Peter Gunnarson Rambo's second child and eldest daughter are delineated in this third volume of the Rambo Family Tree series (the only volume currently available). Up through 1850 all the Bankson and Bankston families in the United States are believed to be descended from Gertrude and her husband, Andrew Bankson (spelled Andreas Bengtsson in the Swedish records). Andrew and Gertrude lived in Moyamensing along the Delaware River in present South Philadelphia. Andrew became a large landowner, a church warden, a court justice, and was elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1683. This volume lists all their children and many generations of descendants, although generally no people still living will be recorded herein. Bankson and Bankston are the primary surnames in this book although extended families are recorded by daughters who married Allen, Crosby, Dyson, Hambrick, Hill, Irvin, Lawrence, Mason, Mozley, Richardson, Ridgely and Robertson husbands. A third edition of this genealogy is being compiled as you read this. Please help to improve this genealogy by sending me corrections, additions and improvements. With your help, the third edition can be even better. rsbeatty@gmail.comNearly all of the Rambo families in the United States are descended from one common ancestor: Peter Gunnarson Rambo, who landed on the shores of the Delaware River in 1640 at what is now Wilmington, Delaware. This history of the Rambo family describes Peter and his six children and lists their descendants who can be found in every state of the Union. Some of the family lines have been extended to the 12th generation with their children comprising the 13th generation. Thanks. Ron Beatty, July 2007
