John Wesley Lamb
John Wesley Lamb, Jr. was born Jan 1830 in
Jasper Co., GA. and married Sarah Ann Pharris on Jul 26, 1860 in Greensboro,
Wester Co., MS. John is the son of John Wesley Lamb, Sr.
and Lucinda C. Digby; and grandson of Nicholas Lamb and Temperance (possibly
Huffman). Nicholas, Temperance and 2 Cooper children are buried in the
Lamb Family Graveyard near Grady. John served in the 31st Ms. Infantry, Co.
