This is Jacob LAMB the immigrant. On the 1709 Northampton Twp. Census, Jacob LAMB was 38 years old, his wife Ann was 37 years old, daughter Mary was 8 years, daughter Ann was 5 years, and son Jacob was 2 years. I was originally only going to post will abstracts from after the year 1817 as wills before this time have already been abstracted. In light of so many LAMBs, especialy Jacobs and Josephs, I have decided to post abstracts that took place before this, hopefully to allay confusion. This is my own original abstract, so I am not infringing on anyone's copyright. The will number is 1313C-1320C and 2137C-2142C Burlington County wills. Will of Jacob LAMB the immigrant.
