Part II
Family Group "D"
Isaac Lamb, son of Henry Lamb, was born 7 November 1734, in Nancemond Monthly Meeting, Virginia.
He was married 18 February 1756 at Old Neck Meeting House, in Perquimans County, North Carolina, to Elizabeth Nixon, born 18 December (or February) 1731/2, in Perquimans County, daughter of Phineas Nixon and Mary Newby, who was the daughter of Gabriel Newby and Mary Toms.
(See: Newby Family, Part II, and Nixon Family, Part II)
The marriage was made according to Quaker custom: �Isaac Lamb, taking the said Elizabeth Nixon by the Hand Declared as followeth or words to this Effect Friends you are my Witnesses that I take this my Friend Elizabeth Nixon to be my Wife promising thro Divine assistance to be to her a True and loving Husband Until Death Sepperate us. . ." Elizabeth made a similar promise, and the bride and groom signed the marriage certificate, as did thirty-four witnesses, including Phineas Nixon, Esau Lamb, Thomas Lamb and Sarah Lamb. The original marriage certificate was found in the 1680 book discovered at the Lamb plantation �Belvidere" in 1937.
Isaac and his brother Thomas remained in Perquimans when most of their family moved to Rowan County, causing their father to disinherit them. By his father's will he heired a shilling, and a half share in a slave named Letty, but he lost a bequest of Rowan land which was to go to his brothers Jacob and Joseph if Isaac did �not come up heer to live on the land."
During his lifetime he evidently acquired many acres and in accordance with the Quaker doctrines, he rebelled against governmental interference in his life. As a Quaker he evidently supported abolution, the abolishing of slavery and he evidently gave freedom to his slaves. Although many Quakers freed their slaves, they accepted responsiblitiy for them after being freed. Isaac's will indicates that he had some slaves with this status. As Isaac remained in Perquimans County, his anti-govermentment and anti-slavery feelings may not have been as strong as those of his father and brothers. His occuption was listed as glovemaker and mason.
Their children were all born in Perquimans County. Isaac died 1781, his will probated in January 1782; Elizabeth, an elder, died 26 August 1796, both in Perquimans County.

They settled on part of his father's farm, receiving it by bequest in 1782. He was chosen overseer of Beech Springs Meeting in 1796. He made his will 25 January 1809 and died 25 February 1809, in Hertford, Perquimans County, North Carolina.
Among the generous provisions of his will was this pragraph: �I give and bequeath unto my son Jacob Lamb the land that I bought of Josiah White, to him and his heirs forever. It is my desire that he should learn Josiah to dress deeerskins and the leather breeches and glove trade, and the tools belonging thereto to be equally divided between them."
Dorothy was still living in 1820, but died before son Thomas was married/2 in 1837. There should be more research here to determine the birth days and order of children.

Children:
Thomas Lamb, son of Phineas Lamb and Dorothy White, was born 7 July 1780, Perquimans County, North Carolina. He did not accept the land his father left him, but took the $100., in obedience to his certain belief that a more useful and satisfactory life awaited him in a wider field. He left his native state, in company with his brother John (?), and settled in Preble County, Ohio, about 1811. Thomas followed in the steps of his forefathers in that he was a Quaker and a glove maker. He died about the year 1780.
He moved from Elk Monthly Meeting, Ohio, to Whitewater Monthly Meeting, Indiana on 27 March 1813. He worked for John Smith, Jr, clearing ten acres of land, and fell in love with his daughter, Sarah Smith, who was born 10 July 1791, Guilford County, North Carolina, daughter of John Smith (born about 1755 in Guildford County) and Letitia �Tishe" Trueblood. Thomas and Sarah were married 4 August 1813, Whitewater Monthly Meeting, Indiana.
The land cleared by him afterward became the site of Richmond. They located on a farm about 2 and 1/2 miles NW of this city. His farm had a few acres of clear land and a log house. He at once set about clearing off the timber and otherwise improving it, making it a most desirable property, and there he spent the remainder of his life. Sarah died 24 July 1833, and was buried there.
It was recorded 26 April 1837 at Whitewater Monthly Meeting, Indiana, that he was given a certificate to go to Duck Creek Monthly Meeting, to marry Margaret Ratliff.

(See: Ratliff Family, Part VIII)

They moved to Indiana in 1806. He entered a tract of one hundred and sixty acres of land, on which a part of Richmond was laid out. It extended from Main Street to the Whitewater River. About this time Jeremiah Cox and Charles West Starr invested in land in this vicinity, laid it out in lots and began selling it off. Mr. Smith first cleared the timber from his land, raised a crop of wheat on it, and then platted it, it being known as Smithville at that time. His property became the southwest part of the city, while that of Jeremiah Cox was the north part.
John Jr. built the first brick residence in Richmond, one of the old landmarks, which calls our attention to the past by its presence today.
He kept a large store and dealt extensively with the Indians, trading with them from 1806, until after the War of 1812, retaining their confidence and good will to the last, as he always treated them honorably. He helped build the Whitewater Meeting House.
He was a Quaker and a prominent mover in erecting the Whitewater meeting house. He was a man of keen discernment and sound judgment, and thus he became one of the best businessmen of his time. His death occurred in 1835, when he had passed his eightieth milestone.

He inherited land of his fathers' home plantation, but apparently left it and moved to land that his wife inherited. Caleb moved to Sutton Creek in March of 1823.
In 1828, Caleb, and sons Benjamin and John, requested a certificate to go to Symons Creek. His sons were given certificates, but Caleb's affairs were not settled enough for the meeting to give him permission. �Caleb, out of the goodness of his heart, went on another man's note, and from what we have been able to learn, this man was a scoundrel, and left Caleb at the mercy of his (the scoundrel's) creditors." The meeting disowned him, and he moved a short distance east across the county line into Pasquotank County. After 4 years, apparently he did straighten things up, because in 1836 they moved from Symons Creek, North Carolina, to Walnut Ridge Monthly Meeting, in Indiana, in a caravan of southerners.

The name Belvidere appeared before 1810 and later passed to the nearby village, post office, a famous Academy and the township.
Exum Newby (about 1760-about 1812) (ca 1760-ca 1812 and Martha Lawrence (about 1765-1827), were married 1784, Isle of Wight County, Virginia.

Mary received Belvidere house as a division of her mother's property in 1830, just before she was married. It would remain in the Lamb family for 100 years.
Belvidere was the finest home in the northern part of Perquimans County, perhaps constructed before the American Revolution. It occupies a high bank on the west side of Perquimans River by Newby's Bridge. It is a two-story, five bay frame structure with a jerkin-headed gambrel roof. This home was purchased in the latter part of the twentieth century and remodeled by Wolf-Man Jack, the radio personality, and he is buried on the property In 1835.
Willis inherited from his father a farm adjoining Josiah Perry's mill pond, a yoke of oxen and other things. He served as executor of his father's will.
He owned the Lamb (Newby) House in Belvidere, which was eventually passed on to Dr. Benjamin Lamb, his son. He sold livestock to the Union Army to finance his children's education per note from Capt. Walter S. Poor to a Post Quartermaster L. Norton of Wingfield N. C.
He listed 336 acres and paid $14.70 tax. During the Civil War he was troubled by Union forces, although he took no part in the war himself. In 1863 Newby's Bridge was destroyed by the North and two years later Willis was paid $75 for rebuilding it.

"Dear Friend and Nephew:
Finding a letter directed to Willie Lamb and there being no person in this country by that name, having a brother of that name, though he leaves in Eastern North Carolina, I took the privilege to open the letter. My name is Isaac Lamb, a brother to Barnabus Lamb, thy grandfather.
Now to answer thy request. I will begin as far back as I can ascertain through tradition or otherwise. Henry Lamb, one ofthe early settlers in America came from England inthe 16th (17th) century, settled in Eastern North Carolina.
Some years after, removed to the Western part of the State. His son, Isaac Lamb, married Elizabeth Nixon and remained in the same settlement, raised a family
viz: (also whom they married),
Phineas, Dorothy White;
Restore, Millicent Winslow;
Zachariah, Miriam Griffith;
Armagor, Sarah Munden (Anderson?);
Elizabeth, Thomas Stover;
John, Sarah Smith;
Joseph, Lovey Smith;
John Lamb and Sarah Lamb, formerly Smith, remain in the same settlement, raised a famly viz: (and whom they married) �

Miles, Nancy Modlin;
Rachael, Charles Harred;

The foregoing is as near correct as I am able to give. Hosea Lamb's wife's family name I cannot give at this time and the name of Hosea's wife. If thee should find any not correct, please correct them and excuse the writer of this. Perhaps some of thy father's people can give thee the family name of Hosea's wife. My uncle Jacob perhaps can give thee the name required. This is principally given from memory as thee has no intention to publish this, I will not hesitate to let thee have it as it is.
With respect, thy friend and uncle.

The following year he again went west, with his bride, crossing the Mississippi on the ice, in the month of March. He located in Henry County, Iowa, where sickness finally caused him to abandon his farm, after a year spent in clearing and getting it ready for cultivation.

�Rev. Phineas Lamb, one of the best known and most generally loved citizens of Richmond and vicinity, was Rev. Phineas Lamb, whose whole life was passed in this immediate section of Wayne County. From his youth he seemed to be of a serious, deeply religious nature, and, as he grew older, the meaning and responsibilities of life wore a yet graver aspect for him.
"He was thoroughly earnest and sincere in all his thoughts, word and deeds, and his noble, manly life has proved an inspiration to many of his old friends and associates. Though he has passed to his reward, the influence of his conscientious, just career, his kindly, generous heart and sympathetic manner abide.
"A son of Thomas and Sarah (Smith) Lamb, and brother of Isaac Lamb, a well known resident of Wayne County, the subject of this sketch was born on the old family homestead, two and a half miles northwest of Richmond, September 5, 1824. His boyhood was passed in the usual active labors common to frontier life in those days, and when quite young he was competent to manage a farm.
"He continued to dwell on the parental farm until 1875, when he took up his abode in the western part of Richmond and gave his attention to gardening. There he was still living at the time of his death, January 25, 1887, when he was in his sixty-third year.
"For many years he had been a licensed minister in the Methodist Episcopal denomination and was very active in the work of the church. On numerous occasions he occupied the pulpit, and for years he served as a class leader, Superintendent of the Sunday School and in other official positions in the West Richmond church.
"He had been reared in the faith of the Society of Friends, but, after studying the gospel and the doctrines of various churches, he came to the conclusion that none surpassed in beauty, simplicity and the amount of good accomplished in the elevation of the world than that of the Methodists, and he accordingly enlisted in its wonderful army of communicants.
"As would be expected of such a man, true in all his relations to his fellows, he was loyal to his duties as a citizen of this great commonw4ealth, and used his franchise in favor of all noble principles and upright candidates for public office. He was a Republican in national affairs, while in local matters he voted for the man rather than for the party.
"On the 26th of November 1846, a marriage ceremony united the destinies of Rev. Lamb and Miss Sarah Jones. Five children were born."
�Mrs. Lamb, who survives her husband is still a resident of West Richmond, where she has a host of sincere friends and well wishers. She was born 4 January 1824 near Centerville, Wayne County, Iowa, being next to the youngest of nine children.
"Her parents were Edmond and Ruth (Jarrett) Jones, five of the number were sons, and three were born in Virginia, while the other six were natives of this county. Mr Jones was one of the pioneers of Centerville, his farm being situated four miles south of that place, formerly the county seat of this county. He was a successful agriculturist and a man of considerable influence in his community. Politically he was a Democrat and for a score of years he served as a Justice of the Peace. In his religious faith he was a Baptist, and died, as he had lived, a sincere, trusting Christian. Though nearly a quarter of a century has elapsed since his death in 1875, many of his old acquaintances and friends of former years kindly remember him."

He was made an elder in 1865 at Piney Woods Monthly Meeting.
He moved west to Kansas on doctor's recommendation after many fevers and chills and ague had gone through his family in the 1850s, losing his wife and several of the children to illness. So, in 1871, with his affairs settled, Restore got a certiicate to go to Cottonwood Monthly Meeting, in Lyon County, Kansas. Three of his sons became recorded Quaker ministers.
The Diary of Restore Perry is included in "Pioneer Preachers Friends" by Wayne C. Allman. �During the Civil War, Restore voted for the union, and stood for peace and the union, being a strong believer in the freedom of the slaves.
In 1869, they traveled on the train with 7 children to Lawrence, Kansas, then taking the stage to Lyon County, Kansas. Restore said, �I guess we come on the only railroad there was. ---- It was the 5th of April, I remember, and the cold, drizzly rain and sleet nearly froze us, for we were from the south, and tender as little plants. The stage was so full that two of the bigger brothers had to ride outside with the driver."
They finally got 80 acres (all that was allowed a man who hadn't been a soldier) in Chase County, Kansas, without a building on it.
�That first winter we made a dugout in the hillside with native timber chopped and hauled from the Indian reservation. It was one big room, partitioned off with quilts. We had a big stone fireplace and hauled wood for it five miles.
"When the spring thaw came, father heard the water dripping in the night and called to all of us to save our clothes. We got our garments, taking them to bed with us. In the morning the water was ankle deep on the dugout floor."
The balance of the article tells of going to school, the Indians, the grasshoppers which came in 1874 and devastated all the crops, and of getting a box of provisions from the Quakers in Iowa in 1876, a year in which crops were very poor and all the homesteaders nearly starved."
Toledo Twp Chase County, Kansas 1875 state census pg. 11:
"Perry Restore, 59: all family from North Carolina to Kansas except last two born in Kansas. (agricultural schedule-50 acres fenced, 130 acres not fenced, farm value $700 Machinery $75, 40 rods stone fence, 180 rods rail fence 5 acres winter wheat, 5 acres spring wheat, 16 acres corn 4 acres oats, 1 acre Irish potatoes, 1/2 acre sorghum 1/4 acre cotton (unusual in Kansas) 2 acres millet, 3 acres prairie meadow. Also, 150 lbs butter 4 horses, 3 milk cows, 6 other cattle, 2 dogs"
They are living there on the 1880 Census, Toledo Twp. They were charter members of the Cottonwood Monthly Meeting. In 1984 and 1895, they sold part of this land to their daughters, Sarah and Lydia.
Restore died 5 August 1897, in the home of his son Jacob's, and was buried in Americus, Lyon County, Kansas. He lived to the ripe old age of 81 years, 2 months, and 10 days, often saying, �I am only waiting for the Master's call, to come up higher."
The children were all born in Newby's Bridge, Perquimans County, North Carolina, except for the 2 youngest.

Children:
Jacob Perry, son of Sarah Lamb and Reuben Perry, was born 27 February 1823, in Perquimans County, North Carolina.
He was married 16 November 1846, in Gates County, North Carolina, to Cecelia Smith, who was born 2 October 1830 in Elizabeth City, in Pasquotank County, North Carolina. It is possible that she is a descendant of Joseph Smith, whose land was near Reuben Perry's land. Jacob was disowned for marrying contrary to discipline, by Piney Woods Monthly Meeting, and obviously reinstated. She was not a birthright Quaker, but after her marriage she became a convinced Friend.
On the Census 1850, in Ballehack District, of Perquimans County, Jacob is listed as a farmer, land valued at $250. They moved to Hamilton County, Indiana, on 3 April 1858, joining Hinkle's Creek Monthly Meeting.
And so in the fall 1860, an invitation came from Kansas. Many accepted, with covered wagon and camping outfits, started on their journey to the South-West...In due time the rather perilous journey was completed and on 10-6-1860, Cottonwood Monthly Meeting was set up. Land prices by this time must have been pretty cheap. Jacob looking for land to support his growing family found this land enticing and moved to Cottonwood Monthly Meeting.
On 4 September 1869, they went to Chase County, Kansas; the following January they moved to Plymouth, Lyon County, Kansas, 20 miles NW of Emporia, Kansas near Toledo, Kansas.
Interesting to note that he and his brother Restore Perry's family were granted certificates on the same date from two different states to go to Kansas
Census 1880 1 JUN 1880 Toledo Twp., Chase County, Kansas
All of the children attended school during the year. John E. is listed as maimed, crippled or otherwise disabled on this census, perhaps that is why he is not farming like his brothers and is teaching school. They are living near their daughter Martha Perry Hammer in this census.
By the 1885 census for Kansas, Jacob has 160 acres of land worth $1800 and personal property of $55. Only Gulia and William are still living at home.
Farming in Kansas was difficult in those days. Animals, insects, and weather inhibited a good crop. In 1874 there was a grasshopper plague, another year a drought, another year the Cottonwood River flooded the area. But their faith in God carried them through all these trials and help from Friends in Iowa kept them from starving. They sent wagons of food seed to the Friends in Kansas who were about to starve. Indians were also a threat as their reservation was about 5 miles from the Perry land.
In 1903, they return to Indiana, and joined the Sheridan Monthly Meeting. His sons were James, who lived on a farm west of Arcadia; William was the liveryman of Sheridan; and W. R. lived in Tipton.
They had 13 children together, eight of which preceded Cecelia and Jacob in death. Jacob died 8 November 1905, in Sheridan, Hamilton County, Indiana.
On 30 October 1925, in Springfield, Clark County, Ohio, Cecelia died at the home of her daughter Alice Vickery. For the last 45 years of her life, she smoked a corncob pipe.
She left behind 39 grandchildren, 51 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild in 1926.

"A stir from the men's side, a young man got up and almost at the same instant a young lady arose from the women's side and both walked to the front. He took her hand in his and said, �I, Benja E Lamb, do take thee, Susannah Thomas, to be my wife, promising with divine assistance to be unto thee a loving and faithful hisband until death do us part."
She in like manner repeated the vows, substituting names in the proper places. In this manner, they started on their road of life together".
In 1867, the Pennsylania Railroad cut across his land. As the engines burned wood, Benja "B" and his boys cut 4' wood during the winter for the locomotives. With the growing family, came constant change. More land was cleared, the round log house and stable were replaced by a hewed log house, and a split log stable. Then the house was extended an equal distance, and later a second story was put on, and more land acquired. The Ridgeway family moved in.

From information provided by Alan Wicks. One source of his was from a letter written by G H Lamb, to Isaac Lamb in 1878
�In 1862, Jacob enlisted in the service, Civil War, as did two of his brothers, Basil, and William. They found themselves thrust into battle after only four months of service. At the battle of Stone River, on 31 December 1862, his youngest brother was killed at his side, and is buried on that battlefield.
�In September of 1863, Jacob and Basil were part of a series of flanking maneuvers that would drive the rebel forces out of southern Tennessee, almost into Georgia. The Union took up positions along the Chickamauga River, which the Indians interpreted to mean "River of Death."
�Jacob probably slept on the ground the night of 18 September 1863 in the pouring 10-day rain with his rifle in his hands. On the morning of the nineteenth the Battle of Chickamauga began. The battle that day was only a series of charges and counter charges with little progress on either side.
�The southern soldiers were re-enforced by fresh troops arriving from mid-afternoon until after midnight, under the command of General Longstreet. The morning of the twentieth brought renewed fighting and the assault was heavy. Flanked by the rebel troops, the Union army was forced into full retreat. During this battle, Jacob Lamb was wounded in his right leg and captured. Jacob was sent to the infamous Andersonville prison near Macon, Georgia. He was later transferred to Libby prison in Richmond, Virginia.
�Andersonville was built to house 10,000 prisoners, but by the spring of 1864 it held 33,000 men. Conditions were hellish. The diary of John Ransom, who would have been there at the same time as Jacob, describes life in the camp in detail. He tells of men being shot for getting too close to the "dead line", and about bands of "raiders" (Union prisoners) who roamed the camp stealing what they wanted from other prisoners.
�New inmates were sick in just a few hours after arrival. The sights and the stench were more than they could stomach. Then they were usually beaten by the raiders and had their belongings stolen. In the summer of 1864, 13,000 men died in Andersonville prison. Starvation, scurvy, and tuberculosis killed most. Some were killed by beatings and others were shot. Some prisoners escaped by tunneling, though most were caught. Some escaped by pretending to be dead. When they were carried outside the gates for burial, they would lie still until dark and then get up and run away. After the war, the prison superintendent, Captain Wirtz, was tried for his brutality and hanged.
Jacob was released by the Confederate troops during a prisoner exchange with the North. He had signed a piece of paper swearing not to bear arms against the Confederacy again as a means to get out of captivity. When northern troops again occupied Richmond, Jacob served as a guard in the same prison where he had once been the prisoner. He served in Richmond until he was discharged from the Army on January 3, 1865.�
Alan Wicks says:
"I have in my possession a copy of Jacob Lamb's army discharge paper. My cousin Ryan has the original. I also have a copy of his prison release paper. Before she died, my great grandmother, Lavinia Lamb, used to tell about when my grandmother Francis was a child and could not understand why my family was proud of her grandfather Jacob's parole from prison!"
He moved to Wilson County, Kansas in 1883, where he was married/3 in 1884 to Rudencia F Lyon, and lived on her place in Prairie township until 1899, when he moved to Fredonia, Kansas.
In 1892, he was nominated by the Republican party, and received solid support. In 1893, he was a member of the Kansas House of Representatives, from Wilson County, Kansas.
�Jacob Lamb was a man of excellent natural abilities and much more than average intelligence. In practical sense, clearness of mind and accuracy of judgement he was an exceptional man. While not assuming, nor disposed to move others from their position or opinions, he was himself � firm in conviction, decisive and adhered to his conclusions. He was utterly incapable of duplicity or subterfuge and was not inclined to evade responsibility or duty.�
"Uncle Jake" died 22 November 1907 in Fredonia, buried in the Farmington cemetery 7 miles N of Fredonia.
Children:
Basil B. Lamb, son of Barnabas Lamb and Ruth Bentley, was born 19 October 1831, in Wayne County, Indiana. He was 19 on the 1850 Census.
He was married 14 January 1855, Newtown, Fountain County, Indiana, to Sarah Elizabeth Shultz, who was born 3 April 1833, in Richland, Fountain County, Indiana.

Basil enlisted at Rainsville, (Lafayette) Indiana, 12 November 1864, in the 72nd Indiana Mounted Infantry. He spent some time in Andersonville Prison, and was mustered out at the close of the war, from Louisville, Kentucky. He was so poor his wife didn't recognize him when he came home on horseback. He said �Why, Liz, don't you know me?"
He moved his family to Kansas in 1883, and settled on the Verkigris, in what is now Webster township. They moved into Coyville, about 10 years later. He was a member of the GAR, WRC, and Iowa IOOF, and the Methodist Church.
Sarah died 20 March 1909, Coyville, Wilson County, Kansas, according to the newspaper account.

Children:
Benjamin F. Lamb, son of Willis Lamb and Penninah White, was born in 1842, in North Carolina.
A Doctor, he was married 31 December 1867, in Wayne County, Indiana 1867, to his cousin, Vashti Lamb, who was born 9 October 1843, daughter of D-122. Isaac Lamb and Rebecca Jarrett. Vashti attended Earlham College, 1859-1861
He was a physician, a Quaker, during the Civil War. He was also an inventer.
Benjamin and his brother, Thomas W. Lamb taught at Mt. Pleasant High School in Jefferson County, Ohio, beginning the fall of 1864.
He attended Earlham College, receiving his AB in 1864 and AM in 1867. Benjamin received his medical diploma from Miami Medical College of Ohio on March 2, 1869. He owned the Belvidere House and occupied it only occasionally, leasing it to tenants in the intervals of their residence in the North and the Midwest.Benjamin went to the University of Michigan 1866-1867 studying anatomy and surgery and then to Miami Medical College, Cincinnati, Ohio, where he received his degree of Doctor of Medicine on February 27, 1869.
A note from Capt. Walter S. Poor to a Post Quartermaster Lt. Norton of Wingfield, NC showed that his father, Willis, helped finance the education of Benjamin and his bother, Thomas, in Indiana, by selling stock to the Union Army. This note also allowed Benjamin safe passage between the Union and the Confederacy to and from college in Indiana.
Benjamin's older second cousin, Isaac Lamb, and his wife Rebecca, were pioneer citizens of Richmond, Indiana. They had five children of which Vashti was the eldest.
Vashti had also attended Earlham College 1859-1861. She and Benjamin fell in love and were married December 30, 1867. They married "outside' of the Quaker church in a civil ceremony. On the edge of their marriage certificate was written "withhold from publication". Benjamin was 25 years old and Vashti 24. A report was given to the Quaker Monthly Meeting on November 24, 1869 that she had married contrary to Quaker discipline. This was almost two years after their marriage. Benjamin and Vashti were related two ways, on the Lamb side they were second cousins once removed and through their paternal grandmothers, both named Sarah Smith, they were fourth cousins.
Returning about February 1875 after the ravages of Civil War and Reconstruction were being repaired. He purchased Belvidere House from his half brother John on October 26, 1878. In 1884 he and his brother John had some controversy over land causing Piney Woods Monthly Meeting to appoint a guardian to assist them in dividing the land on March 1, 1884. April 5, 1884 Dr. Benjamin Lamb requested to be released from the membership of Piney Woods Monthy Meeting.
Four years later on June 1, 1889 Dr. Benjamin Lamb leased his home to William N. Wooten for five years, for $100 annually, and arranged board for two of his children for $6 each per month. If the Doctor did leave Perquimans he certainly had returned by 1897.
In 1875, eight years after they were married, Benjamin and Vashti brought their family to Belvidere, North Carolina. They now had five children, four boys and one girl, the girl being only two months old when they made the move to Belvidere.
Benjamin's father and mother, his brother Willis and half brother John Newby Lamb, were living at Belvidere Plantation. His brother Thomas had died in Ohio. Two more adults and five children really made it a houseful. Benjamin practiced Medicine in the town of Belvidere (named after the Plantation) and surrounding areas. Belvidere Plantation became known as " Dr. Lamb's Place."
On the Census 1880, June 1880, of Belvidere, Perquimans Co., North Carolina, Benjamins family is living with his father Willis Lamb. During the year 1880, his mother Penninah, died. Two years later, after much illness, his wife Vashti at the age of 39, died of malaria, leaving five young children. (a written copy of the medical reports on Vashti's illness and death is in the possession of Tony Lamb). Benjamin engaged a housekeeper by the name of Jane Barnes, who looked after them all for many years until she died.
He was married/2 16 March 1885, in Clinton, Clinton County, Iowa, to Bertha M Griswold, who was born in October 1848, in Almont, Clinton County, Iowa, the daughter of George A Griswold and Mary C Cooke. See: Griswold Family. They were divorced.
He then went to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania where he set up a medical practice. It was here that he met and married one of his patients, Mrs. Martha Mae House, a very wealthy widow of that city, who had lost two teenage daughters, a son, and most recently, her husband within a short time. He married Martha about 1888. in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Martha House was a feisty, small woman who sought Dr. Lamb's medical advise after some tragic years of widowhood.
Source: The Story of Dr. Lamb's Years Away from Belvidere by Caroline Bright Mueller contributed by her son Tony Lamb
"Sometime in the mid-1880s Dr. Benjamin Lamb left Belvidere and took up practice in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He had lost his dear wife, Vashti, in 1882 and after that had problems in the ownership of the Plantation, which was finally settled when he purchased it from his half-brother, John Lamb. (sic 1887) Dr. Lamb leased his Belvidere Home, with the provision that several rooms be occupied by his eldest son, Algeron. Two other children were sent to boarding school, probably The Belvidere Academy.
There is no knowledge how Dr. Lamb came to set up pratice in Pittsburgh. However, once there, one of his patients was Martha McFee House, a young widow,
She had been married to Isaac House, an ambitious man twenty years older than she. He came to her father's general store in McKeesport on the river, south of Pittsburgh. (The House farm in Pittsburgh was named 'Squirrel Hill'). They were Presbyterians and gave the silver communion service to the church. They are all buried in Homewood Cemetery. They lost a son, who was kicked in the head by a horse, and then two daughters by typhoid fever, and finally her husband who 'did away with himself.' Sometime later the patient relationship changed and a marriage between Martha and Benjamin Lamb took place
It was a 'Rocky Road'. Beatrice and Thyele (sic Lamb) came to Pittsburgh from boarding school. The extra load was 'not convenient'-----except for Winnie, Martha's only remaining daughter, and young Thyele, then 19 or 20-----THEY FELL IN LOVE! Martha was furious! Winnie and Thyele fled north and were married in Watertown, New York, in 1890. Martha had a warrant for Thyele's arrest for abducting a minor. Winnie was seventeen and Thyele was twentyone. The young couple went to Toronto, Canada where Carolne was born on April 13, 1893. Dr. Lamb delivered the baby, but Caroline Winetta's birth was not officially recorded as Dr. Lamb was not licensed in Canada.
The next paragraphs were told me (sic Caroline Bright Mueller) by Caroline Lamb Baldt, my mother, who was Dr. Lamb's granddaughter.
Later Isaac made a fortune buying meat and selling it to the government during the Civil War. .
Dr. Lamb and Martha were divorced. We know he was back at the Belvidere by 1897. Dr. Lamb spent some time in Philadelphia, too. It may be this connection that caused Winnie and Thyele to go there later. Caroline remembered nursemaid, liveried coachman for Sunday drives, a yacht for sailing on Lake Erie and total luxury as a child. But Winnie, who had a son, Willis who died at age three months, became depressed. Meanwhile, Thyele, who was a newspaper reporter, was thinking how to increase the legacy that Winnie had inherited at age twentyone. (see will ) They invested in the stock market. (sugar was mentioned). When the bottom dropped out a great deal of money was lost. Thyele and Winnie returned to the USA, rented a beautiful house in the Tioga section of Philadelphia, and tried to put their lives together.
At this point, Thyele started an affair with another woman. Their marriage faltered and Winnie found out. They were divorced. (Caroline remembered her mother sent all the beautiful furniture to Freeman's auction, leaving Thyele's desk in the midle of the living room). Although Thyele begged Winnie to remarry him, she always said "No". The rest of her live was spent in "shallows and miseries".
Thyele finally married Josephine Harris, a widow with one child, and subsequently they had five children. He named his only son, Thyele, (who hated it and called himself "Bud"). Toward the end of Caroline's life, Bud and his wife Dee came to Cape May looking for more information about the family tree." Written by Caroline Bright Mueller
According to the Quaker Encyclopedia, they were in Perquimans County, North Carolina, when in 1869, they requested a certificate to go to Milford Monthly Meeting, in Wayne County, Indiana. In 1875, when Beatrice was an infant, they went back to Perquimans from Milford Monthly Meeting. In 1884, the Meeting helped Benjamin and his brother John in dividing their lands.
The children were all born in Perquimans County. Vashti died 5 October 1882.
Benjamin was married/2 16 March 1885, to Bertha M Griswold, who was born in October 1848, Iowa, and died June 1912, Iowa.
While on a visit to Philadelphia, he was taken ill, and died there on September 18, 1907. He was 66 years old. His body was shipped back to North Carolina and buried in the Lamb Cemetery beside his wife, Vashti, at his beloved Belvidere Plantation.

"He missed his wife and she wanted to settle somewhere, so he went to Chicago and was hired as assistant general superintendent for Swift & Co. in charge of all US plants.
"He sang tenor in the Swift male chorus. He played the mandolin. He was a full Mason in Chicago. He was not elligble for the WWI draft as he already was father of two sons. It is probably a good thing as it would have conflicted with his Quaker heritage."

From a beautiful home to a brick garage was quite an adjustment. The five year old, Jeane now had to sleep on a cot in her mother's bedroom. The room soon filled with newspapers collected by her mother, who was an avid reader.
Note:
"Hilda was very active in the P.T.A. and her Ben Hur Lodge. She worked for McMillan Publishing and in her spare time she catered weddings. She sewed and read and loved the radio. In widowhood, she dated an Irish policeman named Max.
"She also dated Henry and fell in love again. They were about to be married when he contracted spinal meningitis and died overnight. Life went downhill from there for Hilda.
"She developed a mission to serve poor families and lived among them. She helped at hospitals and loved them like her own. Her children were gone and on their own, so she adopted new families of her new friends.
"When she needed a break, she would go to Memphis and help Marge (her daughter-in-law) in the hospital, or travel to St. Paul and visit with her daughter, Jeanne. Then back to Chicago she would go to tend her flock until she could no longer physically do it.
"She then moved to St. Paul, and Jeanne cared for her the rest of her days. She had a wonderful sense of humor and strong faith in God and I will always remember her laugh."
She died 22 May 1965, in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota, and was buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Maplewood, Minnesota.

�Ross'" first marriage ended in divorce. He then married Beulah, widow of his deceased brother Ralph. They first moved to Arkansas, and then to Otero County, Colorado, where he operated an irrigation and horse ranch. After the cattlemen dynamited the irrigation reservoir dam thus ruining the farmland he returned to Henry County, Indiana, in 1923 where he farmed until his death in 1944."
Ross's daughter Esther remembers as a teenager that her father wanted to invest some money. He was looking at buying �Coca-Cola" Corporation. He wasn't familiar with the product as it was new to the public. Ross asked his kids, who were typical teenagers, about the drink. He told them he might buy the company but it would depend on how the kids felt. He asked them if they liked it and many of the kids did drink it. His responses were that not that many kids cared for it. Most of the kids liked tea, lemonade, and milk shakes. He decided that it would not be a prosperous investment and would be too risky.

Excerpts of the message follow:
From the information we have gathered, he just returned home from an evening out and suddenly became faint and passed on very suddenly. I knew you would like to know this because he at least did not suffer any pain at all.
The officers and employees of this corporation extend to you and Mrs. Perry our deepest sympathy and we believe we have felt the loss as you have. Walter was associated with us since 1928 and during that period we found him to be a man of unusually high attainments and deepest sincerity and integrity, and his loss at any time would be a serious one but under war time conditions with so much needed to be done his loss is not only a loss of this company's but of the government's as well.
The funeral will be well attended by his many friends in Southern California and you may [be] sure that everything will be handled in first class manner.
Sincerely yours,
George R. LINDAHL, Vice-President.

Named for Israel's battle pride
Gathered Carlsons, Ericksons, Johnsons,

In the way in which he lived and died,
For Gary Swanson led the Christian fight
He was a soldier of the noble side.

Who are we to understand
Why God takes this man so young
With His Almighty hand.

His comrades guarded with pride.
Painful is the friend now lost.
He was a soldier of the noble side."
