    1. [NJBurlin] Will #4 - Restore Shinn LAMB
    2. Donna E. Ristenbatt
    3. This is Will #4 Abstract, as done by my late aunt, Laura E. Rogers (1899-1973). I should mention that the wills so far are not my direct line. Those wills I will have to abstract myself, when I have time. The Restore Shinn LAMB mentioned in this will abstract is the son of Jacob LAMB and Elizabeth SHINN. Jacob was married second to Beulah RIDGWAY, whose will was #1. I have Jacob's will in its entirety and will have to abstract that one as well. Jacob was a son of Joseph LAMB Sr. and Rebecca BUDD. The LAMB family was one of the early families of Burlington County, New Jersey and the earliest deed I have is of the immigrant , also named Jacob LAMB, married to Ann -?-), in the year 1699 when Jacob LAMB bought land of Robert POWELL in Northampton Twp. The LAMBs were English Quakers. Jacob and Ann had children: Mary, Ann, Jacob, Margret, John and Joseph SR. Will of Restore S. LAMB. (His first wife was Mary RIDGWAY and the children in this will were hers. His second wife was Rhoda OSBORN.) Burlington County Wills #17300C. Written: 1 April 1864, Restore of Mt. Holly, Burlington Co.,NJ "Wife - Rhoda O. LAMB - $400 a year *4 Grandsons - Howard WHITE, Joseph J. WHITE, George F. WHITE, Barclay M. WHITE - children of my beloved daughter, Rebecca M. WHITE who is deceased-- cedar swamp from John CHAMBERS. *Sons - Benjamin R. LAMB and Restore B. LAMB. - who are also Executors Witnesses- Abraham MERRITT, James LIPPINCOTT Proved: 28 August 1867, Chas. E. FOLWELL - Surrogate Inventory: 23 August 1867- $12,887.86 My late aunt has a note that Rhoda Osborn LAMB died 5th mo., 19 da., 1880. She did not note what Quaker MM this was from, but I would assume that it would be whatever MM was in connection with Mt. Holly. I believe I have a note that Rhoda and her husband were Hicksite ministers. Donna Ristenbatt DRistenbatt@aol.com
