James Madison Lamb, farmer, of Shiloh Precinct, is the son of Jeremiah and Rachel (Hoggett) Lamb; his father, a physician of Todd County, Ky., was born in Guilford County, N.C., November 14, 1787; married in Washington County, Ind., June 20, 1810; he was a soldier of the Second War with Great Britain, and died in Todd County, Ky., after having practiced medicine there for many years on March 11, 1831. Subject's mother was born in Guilford County, N.C., November 1, 1789, and died in Crittenden County, Ky., November 7, 1852; his grandfather, Simeon Lamb, a physician of Crittenden County, Ky., at the time of his death, was born in Guilford County, N.C. in 1759; married in his native county, and died in Crittenden County, Ky., March 24, 1846. His grandparents, Phillip and Mary (Thornsberry) Hoggatt were born and married in Guilford Co., N. C., and died in Washington County, Ind., in 1841 and 1843, respectively. James Madison, our subject, was born in Salem, Indiana, July 25, 1818; he was the fifth child, his brothers and sisters being as follows: Scipio A., born June 1, 1811; Indiana (deceased), born February 28, 1813, Simeon (deceased), born November 14, 1814; John M. (deceased), born November 14, 1816; Lavina, born June 28, 1820; Johnathan, born November 6, 1824; Mary, born October 5, 1828; and Jeremiah (deceased), born October 11, 1830. His father removing to Todd County early in James’ life, he received part of his training there, and part in Crittenden County, Ky. On April 26, 1842, he was married in Crittenden County, Ky., to Ruth Malvina Wilson, the daughter of Jeremiah and Dolly H (Taylor) Wilson; her father, a farmer of Crittenden County, Ky., was born there November 11, 1802; married there in 1825, and died there, June 7, 1850; her mother was a native of Christian County, Ky.; and her grandfather, Robert Wilson, was an emigrant farmer to Crittenden County from North Carolina. Mrs. Lamb was born in Crittenden County, Ky., December 1, 1827, and died in Union County, Ky., January 23, 1873. The issue of this marriage was Jeremiah Wilson, whose sketch will be found elsewhere; George A., who married Angie Nunn, is a clerk in Caseyville, and has two children, Mary E., who married George H. Hart, a farmer, of Union County, and has five children; John B., Dolly Ruth, James M., and William Joseph, who are still at home. When the Bells’ Mines were in operation in Crittenden County, Mr. Lamb was interested for fifteen years in coal operations, but came to Union County May 3, 1854. After this, he was, for a time, engaged in steamboating, being the captain of a boat for a time. He finally settled down on his farm of two hundred and fifty acres in Shiloh Precinct, where he built, in 1869, a neat two-story frame residence. He has been a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church since November 5, 1863, and holds the office of Elder in that body. He is a Blue Lodge Mason, and has held all the offices except Master in that order; as well as Treasurer in the Odd Fellows. In politics, he is a Democrat, and has held the office of Justice of the Peace. He has traveled considerably in the Western and Southern States, which has made him a well informed man in connection with his reading, which has been extensive. He has always taken an interest in the traditionary and historic pioneer lore. Of a solid family, he has made a solid man, and is approaching a green old age, respected and beloved by all.
