Speaking of Lamberts, does anyone have record of an Anna R. (Rogers perhaps) Lambert, b. May 30, 1810 in VA/WV? She married John Jesse Knifong (Neufang) in 1831 in Russell Co., VA, and then they moved to Sullivan Co., MO. I can't seem to find any trace of her background. A grandchild has Rogers for a middle name, and I thought perhaps that's what the R. stands for, as there are no Rogers anywhere at all on either side of the family. Thanks for any suggestions.
