Notes

A cursory search of probate records in Essex County finds the administration of Thomas Lambert's estate, with Edna as excutrix, & it states the 30th of March, 1686:

"The widow Ednah Lambert hath 4 children vizt
Mary: aged 15yrs
Thomas: Aged 8yrs
Nathan: aged 4yrs [not Nathaniel, as you state.]
Jane: aged 7 moneths old" (Essex County, MA, Probate Papers, Case No. 16212, Lieut. Thomas Lambert, 1686.)

Note, that no John is mentioned (neither is a "Judyann"), which is consistent with the vital records of Rowley, MA, where Thos. & Edna's children are recorded, without a John Lambert (or a "Judyann"). (Vital Records of Rowley, MA, to the End of 1849, Vol. 1, pg. 127.)

Further, in the division of Thos' estate, dated the 8th of May, 1710, "Mrs. Ednah Stickney" the widow of Thos. is given her thirds of his estate, while "Thomas the only son & Mark Prime the husband of Jane the only Daughter..." are given their portions. Please note.... that the other two children mentioned above, Nathan & Mary, are stated in this division as deceased.

John Lambert, Sr. was born in 1669, but Thos. & Edna were married the 4th of Nov., 1669, & unless there is a fornication case to be cited, their first child would have been born in circa, Aug., 1670. (Ibid, pg. 339.) The problem with an Aug., 1670 birth, is that their daughter, Mary was born the 6th of Feb., 1670-71, that's just six months later... not enough time for a full term baby. (Ibid, pg. 127)

Given the above, there is no evidence & it's highly improbable, that Thomas & Edna had a son John.

• 1643 ; had wife Jane, who was buried 7 June, 1659 ; he was buried 23 Sept., 1647. He is of record thus (Essex Probate) "my sonne Thomas which I freely give unto my brother Thomas Barker."
• As Thomas Barker mentions "dear sister Jane Lambert," the inference is conclusive that Francis1 Lambert had married Jane Barker, especially as that excellent antiquary, Mr. A. A.Galloupe, states that this manner of mentioning friends indicates blood relationship — he has not found it otherwise in his researches. At all events, Thomas Barker was the uncle of Thomas Lambert whom he adopted. Thomas Barker was one of the wealthiest of the first settlers of Rowley.
• ' Thomas2 Lambert (Francis1), born 3-2 month, 1645; died Sept. 13, 1685 ; adopted by his uncle Thomas Barker, and received from him and his Aunt Rogers, a large estate; married 4 Nov., 1669, Edna, daughter of Ezekiel Northend.
• Jane3 (Thomas,2 Francis1), born 10 Sept., 1685 ; married Feb. 10, 1702-3, Mark3 Prime.
  • NORTHEND.
  • From Early Settlers in Rowley, mainly.
• Ezekiel1 came from Rowley in the East Riding (corrupted from thirding, Yorkshire being divided into three parts, besides a small portion called Ainsty) of Yorkshire, born 1622 ; died Sept. 7, 1698; married Dec. 1, 1648, at Rowley, Edna, widow of Richard Bailey, maiden name Halstead ; she was born probably in Halifax Parish in the West Riding of Yorkshire ; she died Feb. 3, 1706. In 1677, he owned four freeholds and in 1691 paid the highest tax in Rowley, £10, at which time he was styled corporal ; was a prominent man ; on many committees ; selectman in 1662,1669, 1691, probably other years. Gave to each of his daughters from 100 to 150 acres of land upon their marriage.
• ' Edna2 (Ezekiel1), born July 1, 1649; married Nov. 4, 1669,Thomas Lambert ; he died and she married Andrew Stickney.
• Ezekiel Northend gave portions to his three daughters by will of whom' "Edna Sticknee" '(mother of Jane Lambert) was one. "I have before paid to each of them £200, and £60 in Currant pay or 40 pounds to be paid within six years" after the death of his wife.
