LAMB Family History

“Five Lamb brothers came from London, England, to Randolph County, North Carolina in 1745 - Esau, Cornelius, Joseph, Joshua, and Henry.

Religiously they were Dunkards. They bought or entered a large quantity of land [in Floyd County, Indiana], erected Center church for their place of worship. Josiah is a son of Henry Lamb, who came with his father to New Albany [Indiana] in 1814.“ [1] 

A family bible recounted the same five brothers that came from London and settling in Randolph County, North Carolina but the year listed in the bible was 1750.

This website will explore the Joseph Lamb descendant line beginning with his son Henry Lamb. Although individuals in other branches may be also be included.
