Biography
Alexander Lamb, was a mariner from Scotland who settled in New York City. In the book Before the Melting Pot: Society and Culture in Colonial New York City, 1664-1730, Joyce Goodfriend wrote about Lamb and other Scotsmen who settled in New York, as follows:[1]
- Religious persuasion may also have influenced the marriage choices of British immigrants to New York City. Because of the doctrinal similarity between the Presbyterian church and the Dutch reformed church, dissenters may have found it relatively easy to marry into Dutch families. Three Scottish men, for example, married Dutch women in New York City. William Jackson, a cordwainer from Edinburgh who eventually was active in setting up the Presbyterian church in New York City, married Anna Wessels of New York in the city's Dutch church in 1694. Alexander Lamb, a mariner, also from Scotland, married Elizabeth Koning of New York City in the Dutch church in 1688. Though their wives became communicants of the Dutch church, both Jackson and Lamb remained non-members.
Alexander Lamb and Lysbeth Koningh had a daughter, Annatje Lamb, who married John Galloway (1700-1747). [2]
