About Esther Lamb


Esther Joslin Lamb (5/20/1683-1728) was born the daughter of Nathaniel Joslin (1667-1726/7 and Esther Morse Joslin

She married Samuel Lamb (1685-1728).

Their children were: Mary Lamb (5/31/1710-), Brazillai Lamb (1712-1752)(on Roxbury Birth list) (sp. Sarah Knowlton), my line, (Sarah Knowlton), Samuel (1721-1793) Lamb (sp. Sarah Atwood (1/1748-). per L.B. Thornton, I was told son Joshua came from a second wife Mary. I found this Samuel who married again, a second wife Mary (-7/16/1778) and they had at least, a son Joshua Lamb (8/15/1733-). Archives and Family search: Joshua son of Samuel and Mary: Aug. 15, 1733. from Massachusetts, Town Clerk, Vital and Town Records. However, I'm not positive it is the right family. The parents dates aren't listed.

The Lambe/Lamb line descends as follows:

Thomas Lamb (1596-1646) First wife was Elzabeth (d. 11/1639), and his second was (Lamb/Hill line)Dorothy Harbottle,and their son,

Abiel Lamb (1646-1710) and Elizabeth Clark Lamb (1648-1692) and their son,

Samuel Lamb (1685Samuel had also, Joshua Lamb (8/15/1733-). It is suggested that Joshua was from a second wife, Mary. As Esther died before he was born. We are looking into this to make sure of the mother and the dates are correct. L.B. Thornton

-1728) and Esther Joslin Lamb (1681-1729) and their son,

Brazillai Lamb (1712-1752) and Sarah Knowlton Lamb (1710-1752), and their son,
