Could someone tell me who this John W. Lamb is in this abstract below? I have a great-grandfather, John W. Lamb and I am wondering if this could be my great-grandfather. Please help. By 1872, Elizabeth was married to John W. Lamb. There was a lawsuit against Elizabeth Lamb and Daniel, James, and Jane Everhart in May of that year filed by William Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins was the man that William had sold his share of Nicholas' property. Only fragments of the suit have been found and it is not known what it was about, but it was settled out of Court in 1873. On 2 November 1872, Elizabeth Everhart Lamb and John W. Lamb sold her undivided interest in Nicholas' land in Greene County to Daniel, James, Anna Jane, and Anna Everhart for $400. In 1858, Anna had paid William Hawkins $950 for the interest her son William had sold. Had real estate values declined almost 60%? Was the decline in property values a result of the Civil War? Barbara
