Confusion over middle name. Some see census records as F. others N.
Claude Nimmo shows middle name as Vintine born 1817.
Other researchers think middle name was Newton?
Jerry Lovett confirms by his research that middle name was Newton. Also, his interview of a granddaughter of Joseph Lamb, Helen Beyer, age 91 confirms the middle name was Newton.

The following is probably the basis for thinking that Elizabeth E. Roberts was the wife of Thomas F. Lamb. No children were listed on the original documentation. Marriage place/date only.

Thomas F. Lamb married Ella Elizabeth Roberts Dec 2, 1874 Weakly Co., TN. They had six children Alfred, Benjamin, Henry, Barney, Lillie Mae, Thomas Bryan. Thomas F. Lamb was born 3 nov 1856 and Ella Elizabeth Roberts was born 17 Oct 1858 in Weakly Co., both are buried at Little Zion Cemetery at Palmersville in Weakly Co., TN.

Thomas F. Lamb b. 3 Nov 1856
Ella Elizabeth Roberts b. 17 Oct 1858 Weakley Co. m. 2 Dec 1874, Weakley Co.

Children:
Alfred, Benjamin, Henry, Barney, Lillie Mae, Thomas Bryan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added by BEM.

Thomas Lamb has been added to this family on the strength of the 1880 US Census for Marshall County which lists Lowry (Larry) as a cousin of James E. Lamb, the son of Joseph N. Lamb.

My mother, Lena May Lamb always said that her mother Minnie Tabitha Lamb and father Larry Bishop Lamb were 1st cousins.


Elizabeth E.

Un-sure about maiden name.
State of birth not given in 1870 census, Marshall Co. Ky.

Vonda Clark says her sources indicate that Elizabeth E. Roberts and Thomas F.
Lamb were married on 1 Oct 1854 in Calloway Co. KY. She also said that Thomas
was living in Henry Co. TN at the time, Elizabeth was living in Calloway Co.

1880 US Census has first name as: Elizibeth

Marriage record for Henry Co., TN lists Elizabeth M. Potts married to Thomas Lamb, 2 Jul 1847 which would fit with the birth of their first child, but no proof that this is the Thomas Lamb in question. No record of 'Elizabeth M. Potts' has been found.
