Subject: [NCROOTS] Will of Patience LAMM, 1854/1868, Nash County, NC
Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2000 08:42:50 -0500


Does anyone know to whom Patience Lamm was married and the names of their
children? I can locate Patience, Wiley and Purity Lamm in the 1850 Nash
County and the 1860 Nash and Wilson County censi. But nowhere can I find a
mention of who her husband was. He obviously died before 1854, but where?

Any help on this is appreciated!!
