FYI...Anyone out there researching the LAMB family in Jersey Co.?

Cynthia,

Now you indeed did tell me alot! Maybe you need more but you have a good
base to start with.

John & Sarah are in the 1850 Jersey Census, but do not see Leicester. Do
see a James b NY and a Wm b NY. Maybe Leicester died before 1850 Census?
Perhaps you could try the Hist. Society and ask them to research the
cemetery books they have, especially in the Otterville area. Info on their
procedures are on page:

They suggest a small donation with LSASE. Might be worth your while and
not expensive. $5.00 would do, I would think.

Will keep my eyes open for you. Good luck.
