      THE LAMB HISTORY

      About twenty-five or thirty years before the American Revolution a Scotch lad
      by the name of Robert Lamb had heard of North America and made up his
      mind to emigrate. His parents may not have been consulted or, if they were, he
      failed to get their approval, and so he ran away and made for a port from
      which a vessel was sailing to New York. He got on board and hid himself as a
      stow-away. It was soon necessary for him to show himself after they put to sea
      but of course they could not send him back, so they brought him to New York
      and he was there sold for a period of seven years to play for his passage. This
      was under the old British law then in force whereby men were often sold for
      debt. As to the place and dates of his indenture there is no record.

      The next fact on record is that he was established in business as a tanner at or
      near Guilford Court House, NC. He married and brought a family there. One
      of his sons who bore the name of Simeon was old enough to witness the battle
      at Guilford C.H. March 15, 1771. In this battle General Greene of the
      American Army and General Cornwallis of the British Army were in
      command and the result was almost a draw, the British having the best of it on
      the field but were so weakened that they withdrew to the coast and left the
      Americans in possession of the country.

      Simeon Lamb, who witnessed this battle, became a medical practitioner.He
      married a Ouakeress by the name of Polly Reynolds and they became the
      parents of seven sons and two daughters. In the summer of 1807 when Dr.
      Lamb's youngest son David was over six years of age, the family obeyed the
      pioneer instinct of the clan and went west to what was then the new territory of
      Indiana. They crossed the Ohio River at "the falls" now known as Louisville,
      then a mere village in which the six-year old boy remembered therewere but
      five good houses. They had an extra horse which was not in the team attached
      to the wagon and were offered several lots in the embryo-city for this animal.
      This offer Dr. Lamb rejected, land being so plentiful and so cheap,but he lived
      to learn that these lots were worth more per front foot than the price of the
      horse.

      The crossing of the Ohio was made in October of 1807 and the family located
      among the knobs near Jeffersonville, Ind. Here they spent one or two years,
      their next move taking them to what is now Washington County, Ind. near the
      town of Salem. Here they took up land, the sons of the family opened a farm,
      while Dr. Lamb practiced his profession and became the owner of apioneer
      store. He became surety for debt of someone who betrayed the trust andthe
      family lost all their possessions. They were in this community for nine years,
      and during that time the second war with Great Britain occurred. Nearly all of
      Indiana was Indian country then and they were exposed to danger of attacks by
      the reds who were in sympathy with the British. The family lost their horses by
      theft at this period, supposedly stolen by Indians.

      The loss of his properly was a severe blow to Dr. Simeon Lamb but his sons
      were now well toward maturity, some of them already men of affairs,and they
      moved in 1818 to what is now Morgan County, Indiana, locating on the West
      Fork of White River at a point about thirty miles below Indianapolisand about
      three miles from where Martinsville now stands. The land in thissection was
      part of the public domain not then surveyed by U.S. and could not belegally
      owned by settlers. Here they occupied aand gave the family name toasplendid
      body of land. This they held for about two years. Had they remained afew
      years longer they could have had legal title to several good farms. James F.
      Price, grandson of David Lamb, says he visited this land seventy years after
      they had left it and it still was locally known as Lambs Bottom, being then
      devoted to fancy stock farming. When the family located there they were
      without neighbors nearer than thirteen miles. Indianapolis and Martinsville
      were not established till years later. Indians were yet plentiful but gave no
      trouble at that time. By the early part of 1820 Dr. Simeon Lamb's sons had
      constructed some sort of house-boat which they launched on the West Fork of
      White River, stocked it with such provisions as the frontier afforded. Then all
      the family, except one daughter who had married a man by the name-ofReed
      in Indiana, embarked on a voyage down the White River and into the Wabash,
      thence with that stream to the Ohio, and on its bosom to the mouth of the
      Tennessee where they tied up during a storm. By the lashing of the waves their
      boat was driven on shore on uneven ground and the waves receeding broke the
      gunwhales and ruined the craft and the provisions with which it was stocked.
      Their intended destination had been the then new territory of Arkansas where
      land was fertile and open for settlement, and game was reported to be
      abundant. The loss of the boat and provisions ended the voyage where Paducah
      is now located. The city had not yet been laid out, but malaria was present and
      soon the family were victims of ague. In seeking higher land and better water
      they came back to the present bounds of Crittenden County, Ky. Thus it was by
      accident rather than design and as a measure for health, that they came to this
      part of the country one hundred and eleven years ago. *[GED: 111+ 1820=
      1931].*
