THE FAMILY RECORD

by

Truxton German Lamb with explanations and. data

by

Evelyn Davis Fincher

PREFACE

This Family Record I have had copied from a typed manuscript in the possession of my Uncle , Ernest Spurr Lamb of Philadelphia.

It is a record of five generations of Lambs from 1706 to 1876; including much informa¬ tion about the families into which they mar¬ ried.

This material has no title and is not signed but ’hhere is plenty of proof that Truxton German Lamb compiled this Family Re¬ cord. When referring to his stepmother Hulda (White) Lamb, the text says: "The writer of these Incidents T. G. L., her stepson, feels under great obligation to her." He re¬ fers to himself often as ’ T.G. ’ and I shall use his initials when mentioning him.

I grew up knowing that there was. a Lamb family history somewhere about but had no interest in it, until in 1928, having two daughters of my own, I decided to collect their ancestry. I asked my mother, Clara (Lamb 9) Davis, what she could tell me about the family. I quote from a letter I have from her written in April 1928 from Haddon- field, New Jersey. My Grandmother Rebecca (Spurr) Lamb, widow of Charles Card 8 Lamb,

2

lived with her. "Grandma found the family re¬ cord in her chiffonier and this morning I read it over till I found the direct line. The ac¬ count is very interesting, telling color of hair, eyes, height, weight, occupation, school¬ ing, homes purchased and sold, number of chil¬ dren. Look it over sometime when you come down. "

In among the papers sent me along with this Family Record is a letter signed by R. L. Lamb who was Reuben Lonson Lamb, half-brother to T. G. , written to his grandniece Delia M. Lamb on Jan. l4, 1904, saying "You ask for in¬ formation in the way'... of geneology of your fam¬ ily, - Your grandfather - Truxton - was at

the trouble some years before his death to look up these matters to a large extent and at his death these papers came into my hands."

T.G.'s record is written under two dates. In the first part he refers to people 'living in l86l, his numbering system is good. In the latter part writing about himself he says "Truxton G. . .now in 1876 at 64 years of age". This second part is harder to follow and not so carefully numbered. I have in no way altered the original material. The spelling and punc¬ tuation are his, at least they are as I found them on the typed manuscript that I copied.

'V > * . . v . v • • ... ..

I will briefly outline the three genera¬ tions preceding Ebenezer 4 with whom T. G. be¬ gins and calls (l) . I will outline the gener¬ ations he covers, Ebenezer 4, Reuben 5* Joshua 6, T. G. 7 and I will add all the descendants of Truxton German 7 Lamb that I have record of calling T. G. $1.

Dear Niece : • . • - '

. ■ ' - • 1 ... 1

Your letter of the 12th inst. just re¬ ceived and I hasten to make acknowledgment of the favor.

. ‘ ; i

Yes, I was somewhat surprised on receiv¬ ing your letter, for, save for the. short call of your brother and new wife last fall, I had almost lost track of the family. We were very much pleased with your brother, also his wife and were very sorry their stay was necessarily so short.

You speak of my son in New York. He is engaged in one of the schools in the city as a teacher of the modern languages. His pres¬ ent address is No. 21 East 98th street and I will enclose your letter in my next to him.

He is very busy preparing a paper for the close of Amherst College of which he is a grad¬ uate, but hope he may be able to look you up in the near future, for the circle of the Lamb family is rapidly growing smaller.

You ask for information in the way of the geneology of our family. I regret that the materials for furnishing the desired informa¬ tion have passed out of my possession. Your grandfather - Truxton - was at the trouble some years before his death to look up these matters to a large extent and at his death the papers came into my hands but something more than a year since your aunt Alice Wilbur of Binghamton very much desired to look up some matters of especial interest to her and these notes were forwarded by me to her and are now, doubtless in her possession, and, upon corres-

22

pondence with her, you. would very likely be able to learn what you might desire.

I may add, however, in reference to one point of your inquiries that the Lambs came originally from England, while the mother of seven boys of which your great grandfather - my father - was one, came from Ireland, and lived to be more than ninety years old. The home of your great, great, grandfather - my grandfather - was in the town of Oxford Wor¬ cester Go. Mass, where he had a grist mill upon the. small French River. He took part in what- is known in history as "Shay ’ s Rebel¬ lion" which occurred just after the close of the Revolutionary war, and for this act of his, his entire property was confiscated by the government. That Rebellion was caused by the effort of the General Government, under the Articles of Confederation - the Consti¬ tution not having yet been adopted to place the debt on their shoulders, upon the States respectively, which at the time was very un¬ popular .

I send love of .self and family to your¬ self and the other members of your family circle, and would be glad to hear from you again.

Affectionately

R . L . Lamb

P.S. William W. Lamb is the name of my son.

Being blessed with a vigorous constitution and an indomitable will, he was just the man to encounter Sc overcome the hard¬ ships 8c privation of a new country save in our particular. In Augt. 1782 when 2 l/2 years of age, he met with an irreparable misfortune in the loss of the. use of his left hand by the stroke of a chopping axe in the hands of his brother Alvin.

and rec’d the whole hit of the axe on the. hack part of the hand from the 3 joint in the thumb transversely towards. & into the wrist joint; separating the hand from the arm entirely save a little flesh and skin On each side. It was suitably draped by- his mother. A physician was sent for & while examining the wound; got his finger accidently into the cut; started the blood and fainted. It was cut of Friday and on Sunday another Doct.- Fisher examined it and said the hand must be taken off; laid out his implements and made ready. Joshua seeing and understanding the preparation said to his father "if this hand is taken off will another grow out?" His father replied "No". Then says he; "I will not have it cut off for I shall want it"- The amputation was abandoned & the hand in a crippled &' deformed condition was saved. This arm is some 4 or 5 inches shorter than the right; smaller & crooked & deficient in strength. The thumb and forefinger stiff and drawn together & the end of the other 3 fingers drawn near the palm of the hand. By reason of this disability; while his brother worked out on farms about he was employed about the Home & in the mill and such other work as he could do. His brothers had their time at 19- He had his in Augt. before he was l8.

In the fall of 1798 he went 3 months to Lei¬ cester Academy in the town north of Oxford 6 miles from home. Kept school in his father’s district in the winters of 1798 & 9* In 'the summer of 1?99 went 6 months to' Leicstet A.

& in last of the winter a short time again at home. In Apl. 1801 hired out to 2 men to work on a farm; half the time for each. Worked 3 weeks for one & 2 for the other anpl gave up; could not stand it with the lame hand. Reubin

his brother said "Go with me". His father was unwilling to have him go, fearful of his abil¬ ity to provide for himself in his crippled con¬ dition. His father had intended to give him a liberal education but a reverse in his fortune had rendered it impossible. He said "Father I will go and see if I can live . An opening may be found somewhere, I can but fair at the worst." And he started with Reubin for Mil¬ ford N.Y. 8c had horse, saddle, bridle, saddle

bags and a little money - in all less than

$100 in value.' Came to Milford in June 1801 & got into school immediately by help of Reu¬ bin. Taught through the summer and next win¬ ter l801 8c 2. In May 1802 came to Columbus to visit brother Alvin. An ark loaded with wheat was about to start down the Unadilla 8c Susquehanna. Rivers to Baltimore, Alvin was go¬ ing 8c Joshua also went as a hand. This grain was the production of the farmers of New Ber¬ lin and Columbus (then Brookfield) seeking a market in the channel. The wheat became in¬ jured on the way 'and sold at Hava de, Grace for 2/8 per bushel. They were 14 days going down & 12 days coming back. At Bainbridge got so foot sore could walk no farther, hired a horse here 8c rode home, spent more than their wages besides much wear and tear of the body. "Saw the Elephant on this journey".

In the fall of 1802 went with Reubin to Oxford. He bought a horse 8c carriage 8c some dry goods 8c brought them to Milford, 8c he and Joshua went in Company. Joshua sold goods 8c made po¬ tash 8c Reubin practiced medicine . Joshua cut his own wood, worked the potash, and often lay by the arch over night. In the fall of 1803 Joshua 8c Reubin went to Salisbury Ct. R. went to Oxford and taught school again in his home district in the winter of 1803 & 4. About June l8o4 came to Columbus (then Bainbridge)

37

Alvin had the house in which J afterwards lived framed & ready to raise. Soon got the appoint¬ ment of Constable in the place of Sami. Camp¬ bell who was elected but declined serving.

This office in those days was lucrative, as seeing and putting people in jail for non¬ payment of debts was of common occur ranee.

This furnished money for completing the house that A. & J. were building, Joshua having bought a half interest in it. In the Spring of 1805 & 6 J. elected Constable. Litigation increased 8c the office was still more profit¬ able. In the Spring of 1807 Price French was chose Constable.

This for him was a harvest time and it was well improved and a competence secured. Testimony of the measure of confidence his Contemporaries had in his integrity may be found in the follow¬ ing facts:

In politics he was a Federal¬ ist up to 1832, since that he acted with the Democrats . In religion sentiment he was a Universalist of the Winchester Order. In 1806 or 7 a meeting of that Order was held in his house, the first ever held in this part of the country. In business he was enprgetic, perservering, prompt 8c spent many hours in im¬ proving his condition while most of the people were asleep. Up to June 1827 he had enjoyed good health, never had medical aid but twice-- when his hand was cut 8c when suffering from Small Pox, which left its marks upon his face. At this time June 1827 was taken with pleur¬ isy, which resulted with inflammation of the lungs. Was confined to his bed through July 8c August. Doctor Mitchell of Norwich, Jos¬ eph White of Cherry Valley pronounced him in- . curable but a vigorous constitution, together with the best of Attention by Doct. E. Rop of New Berlin raised him up. In September when he needed aid to get into a wagon with his wife Doct.

To ! him the town of Columbus is indebted for an addition of $50 to the school fund, made up of surplus taxes, collected by former Supervisors 8c not accounted for. A report being made him of these several sums 8c by whom retained it was ordered to be collected and added to said fund. He and his assocciates who encountered the privation and hardships, incident to the settlement of this then new rugged, wooded country, are now. 1876 dwellers in the "City of the Dead", while their children enjoy the fruit of their labor, little thinking of the toil by which these blessings have been se¬ cured. As an illustration of the energy and determination put forth when he entered into any project- -the following incidents may be mentioned. Israel Greenleaf had a demand Agt. John Miller living in the north part of the town on what was known as the "Old Gifford Place" . In those days 1805 if a man was un¬ able or unwilling to pay he was put into jail if he could be caught. Miller was on the lookout, kept in his house 8c boasted that no Constable was able to take him. It was not lawful to enter a dwelling without permission, to take a man. Greenleaf says to J.L. "you can catch him". He replied "I can try". He rode his horse early in the evening 8c tied him to a tree a short distance from the house, walked around and took his position back of it. Heard the old man in the house. Shortly two men with a team called at the house for some¬ thing to make a light. The old man said "he had nothing in the house and did not like to go out as the plaguy Constable was after him. " He soon came out however after some dry berk around the corner of the house and was greeted

with a strong grip on his shoulder and a "good

4o

evening Mr. Miller , I have been waiting for you sometime. Upon the promise of good be¬ havior he was. permitted to walk along while the Constable rode by his side. As they came to a large mud hole in the road and going over each side, Miller says "I am going to leave you" and run. The saddle was vacated, long strides were made after him and a loud scream at each jump. Soon Miller felt the same grip upon his shoulder found himself upon his back with an elbow pressing heav¬ ily upon his breast. Being rather uncom¬ fortably situated he made all required prom¬ ises and kept them. He was a Methodist.

About 1829 Silas Clark, son of Maj . Walter Clark of Columbus came from the north in the stage and had $400 in a bundle, which Mary, wife of Olney Perkins, stole while he was out •of the coach, having left the bundle on the seat. Had her examined found nothing. After a little time it was suspected that she design¬ ed to leave slyly for Rhode Island and some persons were on the lookout. Some months af¬ ter in October Stephen Howard of Columbus, in the night rapped at J. L. Door and says "they have gone". He with May Clark pur¬ sued and found them at Unadilla, Otsego Co.

N.Y. at Baggs Hotel. Without any legal auth¬ ority he ordered Mrs . Bagg to search Mrs . Perkins for the money. She searched and re¬ ported she could find nothing of the money.

He then directed her to strip the woman na¬ ked put on other clothes & let him have hers for examination. In this process while her skirt was being withdrawn a bag or pocket was discovered held on the upper end by a string passing between her legs up back and tied to the first string. One jerk by Mrs.

Bagg loosened it & she brought it to him for

4l

examination. In it was found .one -half of the money, the other half as was afterward shown, was left with her husband. But few would have dared to push the matter to this extreme as a failure would have brought unpleasant conse¬ quences to him. But he undertook to succeed and he did. She died on her way to Auburn prison by poison from her own hands as was supposed. His good and reliable friends in early days were Capt. Barnum, John Whitmore, Capt. David Smith, Tracy Robinson, Rob't Muir of Columbus and Chas. Knapp (his bail as. Dep¬ uty Sheriff) Jaby Beardslee, Levi Blakeslee 8c A. C. Welch of New Berlin.

His death was sud¬ den and unexpected, died while lying on his bed eating breakfast with food in- his mouth and without a struggle. He left $16000 to his children. He was an excellent penman 8c a good hand for making writings. Annexed is his autograph. To his children in the day of sickness he was an angel of mercy.
