March 4th, the day that Lambert planned to leave Washington, was the very day that the Ninth Congress was set to adjourn.<\/p>\n
Achsah<\/strong>.\u00ac\u2020 Susan\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s aunt Achsah Dennis (1771-1814), or her cousin Achsah Dennis (1797-1852) who married John K. Paxson.<\/p>\nGeorge and Catey Larason<\/strong>. Catharine (Catey) Lambert, daughter of John Lambert and Susan Barber, married George Larison abt 1790, had Charles, Mary, Lavinia before 1807.<\/p>\nMaria<\/strong>.\u00ac\u2020 Probably Mary Larison, born c.1800 to George and Catey Larison.<\/p>\nGrandfather Wilson.<\/strong>\u00ac\u2020 Using this term suggests that Wilson was either of John Lambert\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s generation or even one older. Capt. John Wilson would qualify. But how does he get to be \u201a\u00c4\u00fagrandfather\u201a\u00c4\u00f9? This Grandfather Wilson was probably the \u201a\u00c4\u00faDaddy Wilson\u201a\u00c4\u00f9 mentioned in the letter of Jan. 16, 1807, but I will not sleep easily until I’ve figured out who he was.<\/p>\nGrandma<\/strong>. John Lambert\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s second wife, Hannah Little Dennis.<\/p>\nMammy<\/strong>.\u00ac\u2020 Susan\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s mother Amy Lambert Hoppock.<\/p>\nBilly, Samuel, Merriam, Maria, George<\/strong>.\u00ac\u2020 The children of Amy Lambert and George Hoppock born before 1807 were Wm. L. (\u201a\u00c4\u00f2Billy\u201a\u00c4\u00f4), John L., and Susan. I wonder if George & Amy had additional children, like Samuel and George. Maria might be the daughter of George and Catharine Larison. Merriam is the daughter of John Lambert and Hannah L. Dennis; she would be 20 years old in 1807. Could George be George Larison? Seems unlikely. There is no one of the right age in Lambert\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s family in 1807 named George. Perhaps George, like Samuel, is a Wilson.<\/p>\nCapt. Ent, Mrs. Ent and all the little girls<\/strong>.\u00ac\u2020 Capt. Daniel Ent and his wife Elizabeth Douglas, who married on July 30, 1783, had two sons (Daniel and John) and four daughters: Amelia c.1796, Elizabeth 1794, Rebecca c.1795 and Achsah c.1801.<\/p>\nUncle and Aunt Romine<\/strong>.\u00ac\u2020 Probably Lambert\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s neighbor James Romine (1736-1817) and wife Eliada or Sarah Barber (1748-1828). She was the sister of Susannah Barber, John Lambert\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s first wife. The Barbers and Romines were nearly as prolific and confusing as the Lamberts were.<\/p>\nFurman and Mrs. Romine<\/strong>.\u00ac\u2020 Furman Romine (1772-1847) was a son of James Romine, and was bequeathed the farm that bordered John Lambert\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s. His wife was Ann Holcombe (1775-1852), daughter of Richard and Hannah Emley Holcombe.<\/p>\nAunt Amelia, Hannah and Betsey<\/strong>.\u00ac\u2020 The daughters of Achsah Lambert and Thomas Dennis.<\/p>\nFor more information, visit\u00ac\u2020A Lambert Glossary of Names<\/a> and The Lambert Family Tree<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"beginning in 1807 when Lambert was a member of Congress ending in 1815 when Lambert was in his last year as a U.
