Again, not sure of wife's sister, The wife was Mary Jane sims, no parents for her, does anyone know? or does this refer to one of the Lambert girls, this would tell us who was the father of Hiram, maybe we have one guy listed twice, however the brother of Rebecca Lambert, Hiram Lambert 1813 s/o Garrett married Naomi Sizemore, the third wife Nancy Lambert 1802 was the d/o Jeremiah and Sarah and had no brother named Hiram. >> Dear Sandy -- What Grandma Martha was referring to here is that William Larkin Stowers wife, Rebecca Lambert, was a sister to Hiram H. Lambert. I know that another Hiram was the son of Garret, father of Rebecca. It is hard for me to believe that this is not true because Grandma Martha was just doing a history of her family as she remembered it. I don't know if she had notes and records or if it was all by memory but this is what came down in the family to her. Much of what she has written about has come true, just like what she wrote about Priscilla Lambert's brothers and sisters. She wrote about her Grandmother Priscilla's brothers, Uncle Lewis, Uncle Guy, Uncle Ed and Uncle Addison Lambert. Her sisters were Aunt Martha (Patsy) (Lambert) Tracy and Latter (?) (Lambert) Conway. Uncle Lewis is John Lewis Lambert, Uncle Guy is Joseph Guy Lambert, Uncle Ed is Edwin G. Lambert and Uncle Addison is Addison D. Lambert. Her sister Martha, of course, m. a Tracy but I'm not sure who Aunt Lottie or Lattie is. Most surely a nickname. Now we have do have Priscilla in Joseph P/B Lambert's (b. 1793) family. Another thing is that on another paper, Grandma Martha said that Priscilla's father was Jeremiah. Aunt Rose told me and my sister, Gwen, a few years before Aunt Rose died, that Grandma Martha said that Priscilla's father was either Joseph or Jeremiah. Close enough. Her father did turn out to be Joseph and her grandfather was Jeremiah. We'll go to another email for the rest. Lucy in OH from WV
