Date: Fri, 5 Dec 1997 01:41:15 EST From: Depaine To: jackp@ccsinc.com Cc: Graham-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Graham, John Isbell Interesting thing about the Surry Co/ Nova Scotia connection. I have been told by someone whose opinion I value that Surry Co was sort of a hot bed for Tories/Loyalists in the Rev War...a place people went to avoid fighting with the "Rebels". Nova Scotia is also such a place where many Loyalists went. I found a lot of information on Nova Scotia on the Internet. More later....Elaine
Statement of John Isbell Lamb, age 93
Our family as far back as I can remember and as I have been told by older members of the family. This the 5th day of September, AD 1923.
The Lambs came from England, and Grandmother came from Germany, and the Grahams came from Catelone. (Nove Scotia?) My Grandmother's name was Pennington. They all settled in Surry County, North Carolina, before the Revolutionary War, and settled on the Shadbury River, then the Lambs and Grahams migrated to North Alabama, in Jackson County, on Paint Rock River.
Grandmother Lamb had 7 sons and 3 daughters. Joe (Joseph) stayed in North Carolina. Isaac and Willis went to Arkansas. Hiram stayed in Jackson County. Samuel Jacol went to Mississippi. Alva Anderson went to Tennessee, and Shepherd went to Indiana. The 3 girls were: Nancy, who married Jim Munkes, and Malinda married Ballard, and Mary married Kirke, and they all wentto Arkansas.
Grandmother Graham had 5 boys and 3 girls. The boys were: Jesse, Hugh, John, Gideon, and David, who died while a young man. Mary married S.J. Lamb (Samuel Jacob), and had 3 children, Nancy and William. Jane, mymother,had 3 boys: Josiah, John Isbell, and James. The 7 girls were: Mary, Elizabeth,Jane, Lucinda, Sarah Ann Emaline Dean, Vinetta (Nettie), and Harriett.
Uncle Hiram and Aunt Annie had 4 boys, and they all went up in the CivilWar, except Josiah. William, John, and James were killed.
Uncle Jesse Graham came to Texas in 1850, and settled in Rusk county, then in 1855 moved to Coryell County, and settled on Brown's Creek. He had 12 children, 8 boys and 4 girls. The boys were: Jackson, Curtis, John, Daniel, Jesse, William, Frank, and Morrow. The girls were Emaline, Martha, Ellen and Ann.
Uncle John went to Indiana and left 7 children: Huldia, Henson, Clay,, Washington and LaFayette. The other two I don't know.
Concerning Uncle Jesse Graham's family: He married a Fannin, and there was of the Fannin family, 5 boys and 2 girls; Martha, Uncle Jesse's wife, and Aunt Sallie Hill. The boys were Mike, Ben, Thomas, Buck and Jim.
Old Granny Fannin: I don't know her original name nor her inherited nationality. She was said to be over a hundred years old. The Fannin family all lived in Franklin County, Tennessee. It is said that the Fannin in the Goliad Massacre in the Texas war was of this family, I don't know.
The marriage of Uncle Jesse Graham's children: Emaline married JoeBlackwell, Jackson married a Kinzey, Martha married Jim Manning, Jesse married a Griffin. My brother, Joe (Josiah) married Sarah Elizabeth Blackwell, Peter Blackwell's daughter. There was of the Blackwell family: Silvester, John, Joe, Jeff, Ben, Sarah and Rebecca.
This is all I can think of now.
Yours truly, John Isbell Lamb

- (Research):The Lamb/Lam family of northeast Alabama including brothers Alva, Samuel,
Willis, etc. have a document handed down from Alva's son John Isbell Lamb.
It is hand written when John was in his 90s. It has a great deal of
information about the Lamb/Lam and Graham families. It also mentions a
Monks family. I believe that in this instance John has mixed his Grahams
and Lambs. I am showing what I found for the benefit of the Lamb/Graham
relatives and hoping they can help untangle this.
I have copied as nearly as I could read the original, including the spelling
so that we have an exact statement. I think this is a great accomplishment
as John was taught to write as an adult. John wrote:
