> I am looking for any info on the Lamkin family that lived in Macomb
County, MI in the 1840 - 1860's. Both parents are reportedly from New York.
I don't know the father's first name, he went to California during the Gold
Rush days and was killed there. His family was then split up back in Macomb
County. The mother's first name was Lydia, surname unknown. They had three
sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Ocie fought in the civil war where
he contracted an illness, went back home to Macomb Co. and died there in the
summer of 1865. The next eldest son, Gurden, my great- great- grandfather
was placed with a farmer, Wm Gass, he moved to Bay City, MI in the 1870's.
The third son, Finley was placed with another family who moved to Niagra
Falls, New York. One daughter was Henrietta, married name Kimball. I don't
know the name of the second daughter, though I did find a census listing for
a Marilin Lamkins of the right age in Macomb County in 1850.
> Any further info on any members of this family would be greatly
appreciated.
