Surnames: Lamb, Handley, Holt, Bennett, Richardson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/QV.2ADI/584 Message Board Post: I am looking for any information on the Lamb families of Independence, Ark. Britton Lamb moved there about 1860 with his family. I am specifically interested in the marriage of his son Elias. Britton Lamb was on the 1860 and 1870 censuses, and Elias is on the 1860, 1870 with his father and 1880 in Big Bottom Township with his wife, Nancy and their oldest children. Also. anyone know why Elias would travel to Illinois about 1870 to get married, have a son and move back to Arkansas? It seems this may be what he did. We don't know a lot yet. Leah
