Anna Maria Salome Lambert

Maria Salome (Sarah) Hamacher was baptised on Mar 24, 1745 in the Reformed Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and died in Mar 1822 around the age of 77.

    She married Adam Lambert on Oct 27, 1769 in the Trinity Lutheran Church in Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

(Trinity Lutheran Church Records, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Vol 2, 1767-1782, translated and edited by Debra D. Smith and Frederick S.
