James Lambert (1758-1847)


Book Description

This book includes the Author's transcriptions of various microfilmed documents he first reviewed at the National Archives, Washington, D. C., in August 1998. In an effort to obtain a pension, James Lambert explained under oath and in great detail his four Revolutionary War tours of duty; including his engagement in the battle against the Indians at Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and also his participation in the battles against the British at Great Bridge, Virginia, Cowpens, South Carolina, and Guilford Court House, North Carolina. The Author has put the material in chronological order and he has made an effort to verify the accuracy and veracity of James Lambert's Declarations by a thorough analysis of the relevant Revolutionary War history, including these four battles.




Ancestors of Clinton M. Ellison and Edna Hazel Conover


Book Description

"This work is organized into eight separate sections that reflect my eight great-grandparents. When I began genealogical research, I discovered a unique situation, that all eight great-grandparents had arrived at Liberty, Nebraska, between 1865-1885. This work is the outgrowth of the attempt to trace each of them back to the original immigrants to these shores"--p. IV.
