Hi, Robin. Thank you for your response! I have not done extensive research on the LAMKIN side yet (I'm trying to get my side compiled and written up first), but I do have some basic information, much of which was given to me by my husband's aunt after she did some research. I will be happy to share it with you. The following is what I have to date. Would you please send any and all information you have on LAMKIN/LAMPKIN/LAMBKIN (various ones in the family spelled it different ways at times). I do not recognize any of the related surnames you gave, nor am I aware that any of my husband's family were in any of the counties you mentioned. All of which means nothing, I have learned. So, let me hear from you after you have time to look over my info. You are the first person who has responded to me about this surname. LAMKIN's are few and far between - - I seldom run across the name in any of my research either. Martha Penick LAMKIN Jefferson Co. KY 1 Jeremiah LAMKIN, b. After 1595, Ratcliff, Middlesex Eng.; d.
