Research Notes

  • Archibald's birth date is based on daughter Elizabeth Catherine's estimated birth date. BJS)
  • The last record found for Archibald was dated 1780. His daughter, Rachel, was born about 1782 and he was listed as giving surety for her for her marriage to George Kessler in 1806. I have yet to find census records under his name so have no clue as to how many children he had. I believe Rachel to be his daughter. BJS
  • Thoughts on the War of 1812 Pension Application source. The Archie above would have been over 70 years old if he served in the War of 1812.[6] There is an Archibald Lamb living in Hardin County, Tennessee in 1850,[7] but he was born about 1800. That Archibald died after 1860 as he was still alive when the 1860 Census was taken.[8] BJS

Lamb-12150 and Lamb-3279 appear to represent the same person because: Same dates.

Lamb-873 and Lamb-3279 do not represent the same person because: Lamb-3279 b. abt 1744 is the father, Lamb-873 born about 1860 is the son. I believe that Elizabeth (Austin) Lamb (-aft.1825) was added to the father today in error. I agree that this family with the apparent duplication of children should be reviewed.

I have removed Elizabeth (Austin) Lamb (-aft.1825) as the mother of Richard Lamb (1793-1843). There does seem to be a thought by some researchers that Richard may actually be the son of Elizabeth and Archibald Lamb (abt.1760-aft.1830), son of this Archibald Henry Lamb. I haven't seen any "proof" of either connection for Richard.
