Part II - Esau Lamb
Family Group "F"
Esau Lamb, son of Henry Lamb, was born about 1735.
He was reported on 4 May 1757 to be married (2nd husband) to Elizabeth Newby, (Quaker records Center Monthly Meeting, Perquimans County, North Carolina), who was born 10-30-1738 in Pasquotank County, North Carolina, daughter of Samuel Newby and Elizabeth Albertson. (See Newby-Albertson families).

On 3 March 1765, Esau and family requested a certificate to go to Pasquotank Monthly Meeting, in the next county to the east. Probably due to the war conditions, they made another move 16 October 1776, to Center Monthly Meeting, Guilford County, North Carolina. He apparently resided in the section that was formerly Rowan County, but was to become Randolph County in 1779. In the Tax List for that year he is named among the Quakers and Regulators who had not taken the oath of allegiance.
Esau died 8 May 1790, Randolph County, North Carolina, left a will dated 28 September 1788, proved June court 1790, recorded on Page 80 of Will Book 1.
Children:
Deloras Dorcas Lamb, daughter of Esau Lamb and Elizabeth Newby, was born 20 February 1758, in Randolph County, North Carolina.
She was married 23 April 1777 Center Monthly Meeting, Guilford County, North Carolina, to John Bailey, son of David Bailey I.
After Dorcas� death on 2 May 1784 in Gilford County, John Bailey married/2 to Catherine Evans. In 1807, he moved with 2 daughters of his second wife to Miami Monthly Meeting, Ohio.
Children:
Ruth Lamb, daughter of Esau Lamb and Elizabeth Newby, was born 20 July 1764, in Pasquotank County, North Carolina, and died about 1794 in Randolph County, North Carolina.
She was married to Stephen Presnel, born 1757 in Pasquotank County, North Carolina, the son of Jacob (born about 1722) and Martha Presnel. All of the children were born in Randolph County, North Carolina.
Children:
Joseph (Jesse-Jose) Lamb, son of Esau Lamb and Elizabeth Newby, was born 2 August 1767, in Pasquotank County, North Carolina.
He was married about 1783 to Rachel Nancy McErnelie, who was born 1762, in Virginia or North Carolina, possibly in Rutherford County, daughter of Elizabeth.
Rachel died in 1870.
Much of the information about this family comes from "Seals Family," by Greene.
The 10 year gap between child 1 and 2, makes me wonder if there had been another as 1st wife.
Joseph Lamb joined the Creek Church, in Hawkins County, Tennessee.
Joseph and Joseph, Jr., are on the 1836 Tax Rolls of Hancock County, Tennessee.
Joseph and Rachel are on the 1840 Census of Hancock County, Tennessee, with one son living at home; and on the 1850 Census there, with ages given as 88, and 85, both born in North Carolina. Living in the same neighborhood was a Jefferson Lamb, born 1827, who was married to Lucinda Wilder. He may be a son, grandson, or nephew.
In his old age, Joseph made chairs for a living. Hundreds of chairs made by Joseph are in existence. Lamb chairs are a distinctive form of ladderback, with three slats and turned finials to the posts.

Death of the oldest man in Tennessee on October 10. Mr. Lamb died, aged over 110 years old. Harpers bazar, Vol.% 349,
Saturday, 7 December 1872, Page 795, Col.4. Joseph Lamb shuffled off this mortal coil in Hawkins County, Tennessee, at the age of one hundred and ten, being fourteen years older than the American Union. Certainly, as Charles Lamb once said of himself, old enough to be a sheep.

Children:
Josiah Lamb, son of Esau Lamb and Elizabeth Newby, was born 1771 in Randolph County, North Carolina.
He was married 28 June 1793 in Randolph County, to Naomi Underhill, born about 1774, Polecat Creek, Guilford County, North Carolina, daughter of John Underhill and Hannah White. (See Underhill Family)
As the large plantation economy based on slavery spread, Friends were increasingly confronted with the stark reality of just how brutal slavery really was. At estate sales, Friends saw husbands sold away from their wives and little children separated from their mothers. The state made it illegal to teach a slave to read the Bible, and finally even made it illegal to free one�s own slaves. Even slaves which had been previously freed by Quakers were frequently seized and sold back into slavery.
It became increasingly clear to Friends that the climate of slavery and greed were totally incompatible with Christianity. There was no way a Quaker could live there and be faithful.
Between 1790 and 1830, the overwhelming majority of Quakers looked for territory where they could rear their children free from the influence of slavery. Some had gone to Tennessee, where slavery had much less influence. The exodus began in 1799 when a few Friends left for the Miami Valley of Ohio, and to east or central Indiana. Many later moved on to Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.
The family of Josiah and Naomi began to move around a lot. They moved from Center Monthly Meeting, to Deep River Monthly Meeting, also in Guilford County, North Carolina. In 1802 they were received at Lost Creek Monthly Meeting in Jefferson County, Tennessee. July 1804 found Josiah Lamb, his wife Naomi, and their 6 children departing the Piney Grove Monthly Meeting in South Carolina on a trek to the Miami Monthly Meeting in Miami Township, Ohio. In September of 1805, the family reached Lost Creek Monthly Meeting, in Tennessee.
Finally, December 1805, Josiah and family, arrived in Miami Monthly Meeting, Ohio. The wanderlust is far from being satisfied, and in 1807 the family now grown to a total of 8 children, move to Whitewater township in Indiana, with a stop in Mill Creek Township in Ohio, between 1807 and 1814. Whitewater was in Wayne County, Indian Territory. New Garden Monthly Meeting was set-off from Whitewater Monthly Meeting, and the first meeting was held 18 March 1815.
Josiah Lamb was among those who were proposed for overseers. In the Wayne county deed book "A", pp 264-5, is recorded that on 10 March 1815, Josiah paid $30 to Obediah Harris Sr. and Miraim Harris, for 30 acres on Knowlins Fork, Sec. 11, Twp 17, Range 14, south of Fountain City, Indiana.
On 6 January 1819, Josiah set his X mark to a will in which he bequeaths "unto my beloved wife Naomi, the use, benefit, profit, and income of all my Estate, both real and personal, while she remains my widow, in order to bring up and Educate my Children; but in case she shall marry again she is to have one feather bed only, and at the decease or marriage of my wife," one dollar each to son John and daughter Hannah Beauchamp; his land to his other five sons, namely Jonathan, Esau, Reuben, William and Josiah; all household furniture to other three daughters, namely, Ruth, Nancy, and Betsy. (Wayne County Will book I, page 49)
On 21 September 1820, Naomi Lamb widow, (assets: 1 feather bed; liabilities: 7 minor children) married Abner Spray, out of unity with the church. See Spray Family
On October 1820, John Lamb, the eldest son of Josiah, was appointed Guardian for Esau, Betsy, Reuben, William, and Josiah, Orphan Children of Josiah Lamb Deceased (Wayne County Order Book "A," page 26)
The older children were born in Randolph County, North Carolina, but their records were kept in Marborough, South Carolina.
Children:
Mary Bailey, daughter of Dorcas Lamb and John Bailey, was born in 1778 in North Carolina, probably in Guildford County.
She was married 3 July 1796, at Back Creek Monthly Meeting, Randolph County, North Carolina, the second wife of Nathan Pearson, who was born in 1770 in Wayne County, North Carolina, son of Peter Pearson, Jr. and Ann Morgan (Newby?).
Nathan had 4 children by his first wife Rebecca Nicholson. (See Pearson Family-Part VIII, for Peter�s 1st family) Mary died about 1821, in Wayne County, Indiana.
"Well do I remember, though but a boy, when they met at Clear Spring to worship God, how they were seated, how venerable they appeared. Nathan Pearson, Rice Price, John Presnall and Elias Newby sat on the upper seat, and so on down.
"To mention all the children and their whereabouts would make this too long; suffice it to say that many of them have carried out their principles instilled in their minds in their youth and have made good and honest citizens wherever their lots have been cast; many of them in the far west revert to Clear Spring as the happy home of their childhood."

Children:
Rachel Lamb, daughter of Joseph and Rachel Lamb, was born in 1804, in Randolph County, North Carolina. She was "slightly retarded," as were her children.
In 1821, in North Carolina, she became the second, or third wife, of Peter Seals who was born in 1775, in Pittsylvania, Halifax County, Virginia, son of Zachariah Seals.
The father, Zachariah Seals (1), was born about 1754, in Halifax County, Virginia, son of William and Nancy Seals. It is believed that he was in the Continental Army. He was on the 1782-1787 Tax List, of Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
He moved to Randolph County, North Carolina, in 1791, and appears on the 1800 Census there. At that time he and his wife were age 45, and had 5 children at home, between the ages of 10-26. In 1804, he moved to Hawkins County, Tennessee (which became Hancock County in 1844).
Children:
Peter was married/1 in 1798, in Randolph County, to a woman whose surname may have been Atkins, Adkins, or Atkinson. He probably was not the same Peter Seals who was married 1 October 1807, in Auga County, to Polly Slye.
Peter Seals m/1Children:
Rachel Lamb and Peter Seals� Children:
Peter Seals deserted his family in 1833, and probably died in Montgomery County, North Carolina.

John Lamb, was born 16 June 1794 Randolph County, North Carolina. Heiss� Volume 5, pg 715, Westbranch Monthly Meeting, Indiana, records his middle name as Evan, although this is the only place that it is found. He may have been born about 8 miles south of Greensboro, near Center Monthly Meeting, which was in Guilford County.
His parents, Josiah Lamb and Naomi Underhill attended the Piney Grove Meeting House, which was on the state line of South Carolina. The Quaker records kept in Marborough, South Carolina, give his birth date as 16 June 1794.
He was married 28 September 1814, at the New Garden Meeting House, near his father�s farm, to Lydia Mendenhall, who was born 3 December 1793, in North Carolina, daughter of Aaron Mendenhall and Miriam Rich. She was born 23 days before the death of her father (See Mendenhall and Rich Families, Part III) Lydia had moved to Whitewater Monthly Meeting, Indiana, with her mother on 5 August 1811.
"Howard County was first organized in 1844 and was a part of the Miami Indian Reserve. The first election in the county was the presidential election of 1840. In the first county election, 27 May 1844, John Lamb was elected one of the county commissioners."
It also says:
"John Lamb built the first gristmill in Monroe township, and with Reuben Edgerton, laid out the town of New London. It was the center of the free soil movement, supported the first newspaper printed in Howard County, and its people were fully abreast of the times. As a commercial point, it was promising.
"The original plat of the town was laid off by John Lamb, 13 March 1845, consisting of 12 lots 66� by 132� bounded by Main Street on the west, High Street on the north and Market Street on the east, etc. His example in town building was emulated by others; and on 25 June 1845, Reuben Edgerton submitted a plat of lots, west of the original plat of Mr. Lamb.
"Richard and Zimri Nixon were pioneer merchants in New London. John Lamb and Thompson having completed their large and spacious store room, advertised a large stock of summer goods, expressly for the market, and stated that they desired to buy 100 head of yearlings and 2-yr old cattle, for which part goods and part cash would be paid."
They were old-fashioned Quakers as were all the early members of that branch of the Lamb family. John was one of those forceful but unpretentious and modest characters who deserve a much better tribute then they will ever get because of the passing away of nearly all who knew him. John became guardian of five of his younger siblings when his mother remarried in 1820. Federal censuses have the family in 1830 in Wayne County, Indiana, Mill Township, Grant County, Indiana in 1840, Monroe Township, Howard County, Indiana in 1850. John, Lydia, their two youngest children, John's niece Tamar went to Dallas County, Iowa in 1852.
During the first 20 years of their marriage, John and Lydia, and family, moved 5 times, still in Indiana, and their family grew to a total of 11 children, 7 boys, and 4 girls.
On 11 September 1851, John and Lydia, son John, daughter Lydia Ann, and their niece Tamar Lamb (daughter of Jonathan,) who made her home with John after her father remarried) moved to Three Rivers Monthly Meeting, Linn Township, Dallas County, Iowa.
Within three years many of the Lamb families relocated in Dallas County also, including their oldest son Hezekiah Lamb and family. John had an original land grant, but the records could not be found at the courthouse in Adel, Iowa. However, there were several listings of both purchases and sales for John Lamb.
In 1856, John was a Charter Member of the new Bear Creek Monthly Meeting, set off from Three Rivers Monthly Meeting, in Dallas County.
The first Will Book of that county records on 18 January 1859, a will with some familiar words - "Item - I give and bequest unto my beloved wife Lydia, the use, benefit, profit, and income of all my estate . . while she remains my widow, but in case she shall marry again, she is to have a feather bed" John Lamb (seal) He did add the kitchen furniture.

He died 17 November 1858, Redfield, Dallas County, Iowa, buried in the East Lynn Cemetery, block 1, near Redfield, and is thought to be the first person buried there. His tombstone says "John Lamb- died 17d 11m 1858, age 63y 5m 2d." The birth record is the more reliable. |
Lydia then lived with her daughter Lydia and James Harper, who are found on the 1860 Census of Jackson, Guthrie County, Iowa. She died 28 January 1867, in Linn, Dallas County, Iowa, and buried beside her husband in East Linn Cemetery. Sometime in that period she also lived with her son Hezekiah near Redfield.

She was married 15 May 1815, in Wayne County, Indiana, to Russell Beauchamp, who was born 1 September 1792, in Maryland, son of William Beauchamp Sr. and Sarah Elizabeth Smith. They were disowned from the Whitewater Monthly Meeting.
From Dan Nelson of Highland Village, Texas Source: History of Huntington County, Indiana, by Bash 1914
"The Beauchamp (pronounced Beechum) family may have been Hugenots. They had blond hair and blue eyes. They fled from France. Nehemiah Beauchamp and wife Sarah came from England around 1764, settled in Dorchester County, Maryland, where there had been a large settlement of Beauchamps from early 1666. He purchased land from Risdom Moor, who may have been Sarah�s father. Nehemiah died before 24 March 1777. William may not have been his son, because none of his 11 sons or any of his grandsons were named after him.
William Beauchamp was born in London, England in 1745. The family legend is that he ran away from home at age 12, stowed away on a sailing vessel and arrived in Maryland in 1764. He was married about 1775 to Sarah Elizabeth Smith, a tall red-headed woman, who may have been the daughter of Henry Smith of Worcester County, Maryland.
They sold their land in 1778, moving south, and joining the Deep River Monthly Friends meeting, in Guilford County, North Carolina, later transferred to Piney Grove Monthly Meeting, South Carolina, closer to their home.
He and Sarah Elizabeth Smith both died in 1830, in Indiana.
The Deep River Monthly Meeting, Indiana lists the following children:
Russell died 24 November 1848, Andrews, Huntington County, Indiana, and was buried in the Shively Cemetery in Andrews. Hannah died 26 January 1879, Antioch, Huntington County, Indiana, and was buried in Creamer Cemetery in Andrews.
Children:
Jonathan Lamb, son of Josiah Lamb and Naomi Underhill, was born 20 September 1800, in Deep River Monthly Meeting, Guilford County, North Carolina.
He was married 25 February 1819, New Garden Monthly Meeting, Indiana to Prudence Hockett, who was born 16 April 1802, Greene County, Tennessee, died in Wayne County, Indiana
Prudence�s father was Moses Hockett, born 22 October 1770, in North Carolina. Moses� father was Anthony Hoggett, born 12-8-1730, in Virginia, died 26 January 1783, son of Philip Hoggett and Mary Glandening (died 17 November 1780, age 82, daughter of David Glandening, Edinburgh, Scotland.)
Anthony was married 8 August 1754, to Mary Stanley, who was born 27 June 1753, Virginia, and died 21 January 1808, daughter of James Stanley (son of Thomas Stanley) and Catherine Hutchens.
Moses Hockett was married 23 May 1793, in Greene County, Tennessee, to Rebecca Embree, born 13 January 1773, South Carolina, 7th child of Moses and Margaret Embree, of South Carolina. Rebecca Hockett died 10 June 1805 in New Hope, Tennessee. Moses was remarried in 18ll, and removed to Wayne County, Indiana in 1817.
Jonathan must have led a very colorful life. He evidently had a temper as he was reported several times for fighting. Jonathan had 10 children and several were condemned for marrying contrary to discipline.
In 1830 Jonathan and Prudence moved to White River Monthly Meeting, Indiana, with sons John and Nathan going the following year. In July 1831, the family got a certificate to go to New Garden Monthly Meeting, in Wayne County, Indiana. In 1834 the whole family went to Missessawa Monthly Meeting. They also lived near Union Monthly Meeting.
Jonathan married again 15 June 1850, in Howard County, Indiana, to Millie Bishop, who was born about 1835, in Kentucky. It was reported that he married again in 1858 contrary to discipline. No other records of him.
Children:
Esau Lamb, son of Josiah Lamb and Naomi Underhill, was born in 1806, near Miami Monthly Meeting, Ohio.
He was married 15 June 1826 Wayne County, Indiana to Elizabeth Moon, who was born about 1807, in North Carolina, the daughter of Malachi Moon and Mary Fisher. See: The Moon Family
The 1830 Census found them in Mississiaway, Delaware County, Indiana. Between 1837 and 1840 Esau and Abijah Mills moved their families to St. Joseph County, Indiana. They are found in there in the 1840 and 1850 Census. But in 1842, they were living in Black Hawk County, Iowa. Elizabeth was not fond of the wilderness or the frequent Indian visitors in Iowa and so they returned to St. Joseph Co., Indiana.
In 1859, Esau entered a quarter section of ground in Linn County, Kansas, but in a deed to Enos Mills, recorded 31 October 1864, Esau and Elizabeth Lamb are "of Guthrie County, Iowa.
They are found in the 1870 Census of Saline County, Nebraska in the household of son Elcannah - and neighbor to William and Arminta. In the 1880 Census there Esau�s status is "retired and feeble."
He died 24 May 1883, in Saline County, Nebraska. Elizabeth died, age 75, 22 May 1887, and is buried near Swanton, Swan Creek, Saline County, Nebraska.
Children:
"My father located his claim one mile from the old Indian village, on the banks of the Des Moines River, where for years the savage red men had met in their council-house. At this time, in these wilds, the Indians far outhnumbered the white population, making the timid a little nervous. In these immensities of wide prairies and wild Indians we built our log cabin.
"To me there was an inexplicable attraction in these rough, rustic environments. With eyes to see and ears to hear ad a heart to feel nature�s touch, there s rhythmic music in streams and groves, shrubs and flowers, in murmuring clouds, the thunder�s distant roll, with the lightning�s flash indicating the coming storm. Here is awful sublimity that impresses the mind with the mysterious vastness of nature�s prolific storehouse, evidencing the power and wisdom of the Architect of the universe and contrasting man�s finite relation therewith.
"But it was no child�s play or poet�s dream to grapple with these negations of civilization. Thirty-five miles to the nearest mill, corn one dollar per bushel, pork six dollars per hundred, and money as scarce as virtue among antediluvians.
"We made an upright mortar out of a four-foot section of an oak log by a burning and adzing process, and in this rustic proviso our daily meal was pounded out through the winters of 1842 and 1843. One redeeming feature, however, was the fact of the abundance of fish and wild honey. With these luxurious commodities, and good appetites, they served to offset or neutralize our drastic fare. We ate our corn bread and fish with gusto and thankfulness.
"With my brother James, I often went on fishing excursions to the Des Moines River, catching nice strings of the finny tribe that amazingly helped to replenish our depleted larder.
"One of these excursions demands more than a passing notice. Having finished our fishing, we concluded to enjoy the pleasure and pastime of a bath. Throwing off our scanty attire, we plunged into the purling stream and enjoyed this liquid luxury immensely, diving, swimming, splashing, utterly oblivious of approaching danger, when my brother discovered, to our horror, several canoes loaded with Indians heading for us as fast as they could paddle.
"Brother�s eyes protruded like miniature pot-legs, and he said we must run, and run we did-with the alacrity of an abscondng banker. Not having the time nor the disposition to be governed by convention rules, we gathered up our attire and started with Olympic swiftness across the prairie for our lonely cabin, one mile distant. Our running in this nude condition seemed to delight these red devils.
"Looking back when we thought a distance of comparative safety intervened between us and the Indians, we saw that they had reached our place of bathing and were indulging in savage yells mingled with heathen laughter at our naked, rapid flight. They soon turned their boats down the river, no doubt rejoicing in their superior bravery. While this scare doubtless militated against my growth, it certainly added to the uprightness of my hair. Brother�s eyes finally assumed their normal relations.
A whole band of these Indians came by our cabin one night, on their way from the agency, where, contrary to law, they had obtained firewater. They came whooping and yelling, circling around our house as if to take us in. Father got out of bed and went out among them with nothing on but his nightclothes. This unusual demonstration (for a white man) appeared to delight them to a wonderful degree, for they indulged in merry ha, ha, ha�s. The fire-water having generated thirst, they called for "bish" (water). The spring being ten rods from the house, father went with them to give them a drink, his night clothes fluttering in the summer breeze. This was too much for the hilarious redskins, ad again they burst out in loud laughter. "How much? What name?" they demanded. "Esau," answered my father, as he handed them cups of water. Then they called out, "Good Esau, big Esau, he one brave," again evidencing their humorous sense with more laughter. Then on they went, their songs and jubilations ringing out upon the night air beneath the sparkling stars. Mother and we children had quite a nervous attack during this escapade.
For years these episodes served to break the monotony of frontier life. We finally became familiar with, and adapted ourselves to these environments. Many times, old Chief Black Hawk and his successor, Keokuk, came to our cabin. Black hawk�s eyes were keen and piercing, like an eagle�s; Keokuk�s, of mild demeanor. The Indians dubbed him "Squaw." Because he was for Peace; Black Hawk was for war. Thus we endured and enjoyed these strange experiences for two years.
But living in these wilds, away from relatives and civilized life, was not congenial to my mother; therefore in the spring of 1844. We sold out and returned to St. Joseph County, Indiana, locating near the beautiful St. Joseph River and St. Mary�s Catholic College."
Elizabeth (Betsy) Lamb, daughter of Josiah Lamb and Naomi Underhill, was born in 1810, in Miami County, Ohio.
She was married 18 November 1826, 2/wife to William Spray, who was born in 1805, in Chester County, Pensylvania, the son of Abner Spray and Mary Little. They were divorced before William died in 1850, in Ohio.
Elizabeth was married/2 on 8 November 1855, in Clinton County, Ohio, to Richard Applegate, who was born in 1812, in New Jersey. Elizabeth died before 1880.

Abner Spray was born 20 February 1761, in Chester County, Pennsylvania, the son of James and Sarah Spray. His first wife was Mary Little, who died before 1820, and he had 7 children, birth order not known. Abner died in 1826, in Clinton County, Indiana
Children:
William Spray, son of Abner, married Naomi's daughter Elizabeth Lamb
On 21 September 1820, Abner was married/2 out of unity with the church, to Naomi Underwood, widow of F-6. Josiah Lamb, (assets: 1 feather bed; liabilities: 7 minor children)
Children:
Reverand Reuben Lamb, son of Josiah Lamb and Naomi Underhill, was born 4 May 1812, at the West Branch Monthly Meeting, in Miami County, Ohio.
He was married 26 May 1832, in Henry County, Indiana, to Catherine Emily Hodges, who was born 7 March 1813, in Indiana. He was a United Brethern minister.
On 4 April 1852, Reuben and Catherine E. Hodges, his wife, of St. Joseph County, Indiana, deed 40 acres to a James Lamb. This is probably the year in which Reuben, his brother, Esau, and Abijah Mills moved their families to Dallas County, Iowa. At age 75, Enos Mills remembers that he was 18 when he went to Iowa on foot, and engaged in freighting with ox teams. Many of the Lambs were already there.
They moved to Linn County, Kansas, in 1857. Reuben was an active abolitionist and was on the list for killing by the Bushwhackers. He was a preacher and was well known in every log cabin home. Of his eight children, those living there being Mary Lamb Mills, Esau, Lydia, Louisa who married Bolivar Holmes, Isaac and Josiah E.
Reuben died 20 September 1862, at about the time that so many of Josiah�s family died; Catherine died age 76, 9mo, 3da, on 10 December 1889, both buried "Lamb/Mills Cemetery", Linn County, Kansas.

Children:
William Lamb. His parents, Josiah and Naomi Lamb were received at Whitewater Monthly Meeting, Indiana, on 26 March 1814, but there is no mention of a son named William. This might indicate that he was born in Indiana. The truth cannot be proved by later census reports because William was extremely inconsistent in the information he supplied to census takers.
At any rate, he was born 1813/4, in either Ohio or Indiana. (He might be the William Lamb who married Mary Ann Fryer on 17 April 1833 in Randolph County, Indiana.)
He was married 15 October 1837 in Dark, Ohio, to Arminta Tatt, born in 1821.
He is found in the 1850 Census of Lee County, Iowa. The Iowa State Census of 1856 names him as resident of the state for 17 years, he must be the William Lamb listed in Half-breed Reservation, Lee County, in the Federal Census for 1840.
The Linn County courthouse was situated in 1857 at Paris, Indian Territory. Here, on March 31, William Lamb recorded his purchase of Lot 4, Block 22. This may be the same property that William and Araminta deeded to Mt. Bethel M. E. Church on 21 March 1863.
It appears that William was again the pathfinder who preceded his brothers into a new territory. In 1859, he homesteaded a quarter section of land, which he deeded to his son Reuben, in 1865.
William Lamb and wife joined their son David, in Saline County, Nebraska, and were still there for the 1870 Census, and the 1880 Census for Springbrook, Harlan County, Nebraska.
Arminta died in 1889; William died in 1892, in Swan Creek, Saline County, Nebraska.

Children:
Hezekiah Lamb, son of John Lamb and Lydia Mendenhall. A full account of this family is given in the front of this book, Part I.
Josiah Lamb, son of John Lamb and Lydia Mendenhall, was born 31 March 1817, in Wayne County, Indiana.
He was married 12 October 1836 in Grant County Indiana, to his first cousin #F-642. Ruth Lamb, born 18 August 1821, daughter of Jonathan Lamb and Prudence Hockett, and was dismissed (and reinstated) from the Society of Friends, because they were 1st cousins. Ruth was a Quaker minister. The Grant County Marriage Book 4, C22, gives the date of license as 21 September. They were married 12 October, in Grant County.
We find him next in the 1850 Census of Monroe Township, Howard County, Indiana, listed as Inventor. A check with the U. S. Patent Office disclosed that he had received on Previous January 29th, Patent #7055 - Improvement in Self-Waiting Table. This apparently was a dining table with dumb-waiter and Lazy Susan, and was no doubt a convenience in feeding his brood. He was an expert millwright.
In 1857, Free Staters were pouring into the eastern counties of "Bleeding Kansas" from all of the northern States. It was natural that the Lambs, with their Quaker background, would rush to join them. It is significant that the older members should look to young Josiah for lead16 September 1862ership. Enos Mills recalled that eight families arrived in Linn County on 6th June 1857. Miles Lamb claimed that he walked the 300 miles in eight days. Since it is tradition that the Lamb, Morris, and Mills families traveled to Linn County in a wagon caravan, with all of their worldly goods and livestock, it must have been quite a sight. Reference to the 1860 Census would indicate that they numbered more than fifty souls. Certainly, it provided a nice bloc of votes the following June when Josiah ran for, and won, a seat to the Wyandotte Constitutional Convention. It is said that he proposed that Mound City be the State Capitol.
From the History of Linn County, Kansas, we read:
"He served as a delegate from Linn County Kansas, to the Wyandotte Convention, which framed the constitution of the State of Kansas in 1859. He was one of those forceful but unpretentious and modest characters who deserved a much better tribute than they will ever get because of the passing away of nearly all who knew him."

The "Lamb/Mills Cemetery" was established in Linn County, Kansas, in 1857, two miles south and two east of the present town of Pleasanton. It is of historical interest, as it contains the remains of a great many of the original immigrants, including the Mills family. Here will be found a monument to "Josiah Lamb, member of Wyandotte Constitutional Convention and of the First State Legislature 1860-1861"
There is a stone, lettered on four sides, that marks the graves of Josiah, who died 11 August 1862, his wife Ruth who died 16 September 1862, and two of his children on 30 August 1862. There is another stone for daughter Ester, who died about the same time. His uncle Reuben died just 4 days after Ruth. Without knowing the causes of their deaths, we can understand how tragic it was. His son Miles was buried close by, in the Battlefield Cemetery of Pleasanton, Linn County.
For a detailed description of the "Lamb/Mills Cemetery" including numerous pictures of grave stones, please see "Lamb/Mills Cemetery".

In March 1894, he appeared to be visiting in Fairbury, Nebraska, when he wrote his daughter that he intended to visit "Uncle Josiah at Meridan, Kansas."
In September 1895, he wrote from Honey Creek, and in October 1895 he wrote a letter from Troy, Kansas, in each, giving instructions to his family about his farm and business back home, and saying that he was preaching along the way. In June 1897, he was apparently located in Lowry City, Missouri.

He was called into ministry in 1871 in Colorado, where he preached a circuit from town to town.
His family was left behind in Kansas. He climbed Pike's Peak on this mission trip. Returning home the following year. In the spring of 1872 he was assigned the Nebraska Territory as a mission field.
Beginning in 1875, he settled his family in Estes Park, at the foot of Long�s Peak, where he owned land.
Elkanah died 8 April 1915; Jemima died 7 September 1917, both in Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado.
His words, from "Memories of the Past and Thoughts of the Future" by Elkanah J. Lamb 1905
"In the year 1878, we went up to Estes Park, near historic Long's Peak, locating on a claim in three miles of timber-line, at an altitude of 9,000 feet above sea-level. This location would seem to indicate more tangible and swifter strides towards heaven than small salaries, partly paid in promises and hubbard squashes. But this was all the poor people could do under such pestiferous, hoppery circumstances.
"Well, I had sufficient credit to borrow two hundred dollars, with which I brought some cows and calves, going into the dairy business.
"Then, in connection with dairying, we entertained parties ascending the Peak and guided pilgrims to the summit for $5 per trip. If they would not pay for spiritual guidance, I compelled them to divide for material elevation.
"In a few years we bettered our financial condition very much, but when we moved up to this mountain home it surely looked forbidding, it being thirty-five miles from post-office to store, and having to borrow a team with which to move $5 worth of provisions all told, with three dollars' worth of shekels.
"These meager assets comprised our material stock. In view of these cold limitations, my sister was excusable for threatening to send the sheriff up to arrest me of insanity.
But, with a love for my evergreen surroundings, pure air, and streams of crystal waters on nature's part, a small volume of ambition and a quantity of determination, faith in self, and, above all, faith in God's power and promises on our part, bridged over the seemingly impossible difficulties. The mountains, for us, have proved to be an asylum of health, pleasure, and plenty for the past twenty-eight years."
He died 8 April 1915 in Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado
Obituary:
"PIONEER MINISTER IS CALLED TO HIS REWARD, Fort Collins Express, Thursday, April 8, 1915.
"Rev. E.J. Lamb Succumbs to Paralysis at Ripe Age of Four Score and Three Years.
"Rev. E.J. Lamb, for the past forty years one of the bestknown and most beloved residents of Northern Colorado, passed away shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday morning at 207 Whebee Street where he and his wife had recently taken up their residence. His death followed a few weeks of intermittent illness, which were caused by a stroke of paralysis recently suffered at his home in Estes Park.
"Definite announcement of the date of the funeral will be made shortly, but it is quite probable that the service will be held in this city on Sunday afternoon and that pastors of all demonications will unite in paying their last tribute to the memory of Rev. Lamb.
"The deceased is survived by his widow and a number of sons, most of whom are located in Oregon and California. His grandsons, sons of Mrs. A.E. McMillan, who are located in Iowa, are also being notified of the death of their grandfather and may come to this city for the funeral.
"Rev. Lamb was born in Wayne County, Indiana, on January 1, 1932, and celebrated his eighty-third birthday last New Years day. In his earlier years he farmed in Iowa and Nebraska, going to those states during the earlier days of thier settlement.
"In 1871, he was called to the ministry, being ordained a minister in the United Brethren Church, and shortly thereafter came to Colorado, being assigned to this section of the state by the home missionary board of this church.
"Rev. Lamb was a true pioneer in every sense of the word. Coming here to preach the gospel in what was then raw, frontier country, he traveled thru this section of the state, conducting preaching services where it was possible and giving freely of his time in caring for the sick and ministering to the dying
There are few of the earlier families of Northern Colorado and particulary those of the Thompson and St. Vrain Valleys, that do not treasure the memories of his visits.

Enos Abijah says:
   
"I was born in Wayne County, Indiana, near the town of Richmond, of Quaker parents. I moved to St. Joseph County, Indiana, 1835 where I lived until I was 18 years old, and helped to make a farm in that densely timbered. Went to the state of Iowa in 1850, afoot there were no railroads further west than Peru, Illinois, 90 miles west of Chicago, crossed the Mississippi at Rock Island and Iowa City, which was then the capital of Iowa; went to Dallas County, 50 miles west of Fort Des Moines, and engaged in freighting with ox teams from Keokuk.�
�We left for Kansas on the first of May, 1857. Eight families arrived in Linn County on the 6th day of June, 1857, where we have resided ever since. We came for the avowed purpose of helping to make Kansas a free state; how we succeeded is long since a matter of history. Here, on the border of Missouri, our trouble began. Frequent raids from Missouri border ruffians, killed our neighbors. For seven long years we remained as a picket post.�
Before his death 17 February 1910, at age 75, Enos Mills wrote for the newspaper in Linn County, Kansas.
"In 1860, my brother Enock, my cousin, Rev. E. J. Lamb, my wife and self took Pikes Peak fever and left on 14 April 1860. Went up the Republican River to Military Road from Leavenworth to Carney; followed the Platte 500 miles to Denver. Stopped at Tarryall in South Park. Mrs. Mills was the first white woman ever to cross the range west of Tarryall. Took mining claim #2 above Bisooney."�There were hundreds of Souix Indians on the road, but we were not molested. Saw a war dance in the streets of Denver, by the Indians. We stopped at the town Tarryall in South Park and did some placer mining for a short time and then crossed over the range where Breckenridge now stand on the Blue River. There was just one house in Breckenridge, one barrel of whiskey, 25 cents per drink. Mrs. Mills had the distinction of being the first white woman that ever crossed the range west of Tarryall. we took a mining claim No. 2, above Bisooney. It did not pan out right so I abandoned mining, I then took one of my mules and a pack saddle, loaded him with meat at the mouth Gulch and peddled meat to the miners. I soon quit the meat business and stopped for a short time in a meat market where gold dust was legal tender. I was then taken down with the mountain fever, crossed the range on the 8th day of July with snow in places 15 feet deep. Mrs. Mills driving the mules as I was not able to sit up. Three days landed us in the plains to Eastern Kansas a trip of 700 miles with Indians in plenty for the first 500 miles, camping all alone."
Six weeks after Enos wrote the above account he died and was buried in the "Lamb/Mills Cemetery".

Children:
In 1859, at the age of 14, Enos Mills Jr. went to Colorado for the first time, arriving at the Longs Peak area (Estes Park). He had a large view of the future. He eventually became Colorado Snow Observer, and was appointed Government Lexturer on Forestry by President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1909 he proposed the establishment of Rocky Mountain National Park. As a result of the publicity and political pressure developed by Mills, the government began to study the area. Mills fulfilled many speaking engagements, wrote many articles, and worked vigorously to gain support.
He had a fiery temper, often antagonized his own supporters if they did not fully agree with him and was unwilling to recognize that compromise was necessary. The park bill was signed by President Wilson in 1915.
At the dedication ceremony, Enos Mills opened it, just as a rain began. As the program continued the rain stopped, the clouds parted, the sun emerged, and Longs Peak, resplendent in a new coat of snow - came into view. Somehow it seemed symbolic.
At one time he owned Long�s Peak Inn, in Estes Park. Twenty four years later, Enos Mills, Jr., age 14 succumbed to this same call of the Rockies.

He was married 25 July __, in Williams, Cocono County, Arizona, to Addie Pearl Webb, who was born 14 September 1878, in Jefferson County, Illinois.
Addie came to Arizona from Illinois to live with, and work for her older brother William and his wife. She helped with the housework for her room and board.
The first time Addie saw Ed, she said, "He was in his coveralls, with that small railroader�s cap cocked over on one side of his head. I knew right then and there that I wouldn�t be happy until we were married. I set my cap for him, and, even though he was shy, I got him."
Thelma, valedictorian of her high school class, was "little mother" to the younger children. All of the girls doted on their long awaited baby brother, born on his father�s birthday, and joy of the family. As a teenager, Ed would spend his summers in Thelma�s home, being the favorite playmate of Thelma�s daughter Wilma.
After the family was grown, Ed and Addie left Arizona and moved to Riverbank, California, where their daughter, Thelma, was living. They also lived in Richmond and after his retirement, they moved to San Juan Bautista, where he bought a little newspaper weekly, which their son Ed later bought from them.
A Railroad "hoghead" will retire from the road Tuesday after 47 years of continuous and faithful service. He will just be one of the 1,500,000 other tireless railroad men who will be affected by the new Railway Retirement Act; but he did his job well!
He started in his �teens as a fireman on the old backbreakers, the coal burners, stoked by hand; he survived eight wrecks; he jumped from an engine just before it crashed through a burning bridge; he was derailed by a broken axle at a speed of 70 miles and hour; he crashed through a herd of sheep at a mile-a-minute clip; he raced against time, every second counting on the fast silk specials; he brought the train through in gales, snow storm, blizzard; he pounded the rails, with the clickety-click of the huge drivers drumming in his ears, at speeds of 75,80, and 90 to make up precious time. He saw the railroads develop through those dark periods when their future was darkened by the countless number of wrecks-up to the present time when the railroads are the world�s safest mode of travel.
The nerve-wracking strain and responsibility of handling the huge steam giants on a split-second schedule, entrusted with the safety of hundreds of lives, has taken its toll. He is not as spry and young as he once was; but his experienced hand on the throttle and the airbrake is just as sure and steady-a sensitive, integral part of the powerful engines very self.
He will be found many a time after Tuesday, when his time will be his own-standing at the depot or puttering around the round-house-thrilling again to the conductor�s "hi-ball" and the chug of the engine getting under way. . dreaming and reminiscing of his days as a "hoghead." He is my father. . A job well done, Dad!
