Biography
Buried in Lambert Cemetary in Lawrence County, Mississippi [1]
Pvt. Joseph Lambert (b. Lawrence County, MS, 1829-d. Lawrence County, MS, 1895), (2nd) Co. H ("Capt. Wallace's Company," raised in Amite, Hancock, Lawrence, & Pike Counties, MS), 20th (Lay's) Confederate Cavalry. Known only from a single service card. Present or absent not stated on July 31, 1864, company muster roll. No enlistment date/data, but would have enlisted in early 1864 at age 34 or 35. No further information in his military file with this unit. However, in some databases, there is also a Pvt. Joseph Lambert listed as having been a member of Hoskin's Battery (aka "Brookhaven Light Artillery"), raised in Lawrence County, MS. Service records for soldiers from this unit with last names beginning from "A" through "P" are not online or on microfilm and can only be ordered from the National Archives & Records Administration in Washington, DC. Pvt. Lambert is, however, listed in various reliable databases as a member of the battery. Buried in the Lambert Cemetery, appr. 325 Carmel-New Hope Road, Lawrence County, MS, with a private marker.
