I was trying to find information on who was buried in the Rambo Cemetery in Wood County,but there was no information. I went to Ancestry.com to see what Rambos lived in Wood County,TX, and there I found Captain John H. Rambo, Co.H,22nd Texas Infantry(Hubbard's). Wood County records list him as buried in the Myrtle Springs Cemetery in Wood County,TX,but John H. Rambo and his wife are buried in a private cemetery which might be the Rambo Cemetery. John H. Rambo was born in 1829 in Georgia,probably Floyd County,and died in 1900 in Wood County,TX. In 1874 there was an insanity hearing for John H. Rambo. The judge was James Stephen Hogg who would later become the 20th Governor of Texas. James S. Hogg had only one daughter named Ima,but Texas lore added another daughter, Ura Hogg. I grew up thinking James S. Hogg had two daughters,Ima and Ura Hogg.
