Carole, Jerry Lamberson is one of the folks that came down with Benjamin Blackford, first to Catoctin Furnace in Frederick, MD, then to Isabella Furnace. Somewhere in the black hole I call my file cabinet I have something also on the Peters family. I think they were also from Cumberland Co., PA. There was also a Zachariah Lamberson in Cumberland Co., but I don't think he moved, or least I've seen no record of it. There is a will for John Deavers in Page County which indicates Jeremiah was dead by 1832 and that his wife's name was Molly. The Lamberson's intermarried with a bunch of the iron families. After the failure of Isabella in 1841, many of the families moved to other furnaces. Some of this is on the Shenandoah County genweb site under furnaces\Blackford. I'll try to dig up some of what I have; give me a few days.
