Hannah Lewis was the mother of Naomi Lamb Lane Davis, the grandmother of John Lewis Lane, the great grandmother of Florence Lane Wellons and the great great grandmother of Ralph Wellons, my grandfather.
She was born on January 18, 1782 in Guilford County, North Carolina. She died in Rush County, Indiana (probably living with a child) on October 19, 1865.
Her parents were John Lewis (Jr.) (1765-1848) and Sarah Ruckman (1761-1847).
She was married to Thomas Lamb of Guilford County, North Carolina. Date Unknown.
They had as many as 11 children.
Daughter Naomi Lamb was born in about 1804 in North Carolina per the 1850 census report.
They moved to Indiana in about 1809 to the Williamsburg area of Green Township of Wayne County, Indiana. Some accounts have them moving a little later to Vincennes at first and then to Wayne County after the War of 1812.
See Thomas Lamb article for census records from 1800 to 1850.
Thomas Lamb died on July 15, 1851 in Wayne County.
Hannah Lewis Lamb died on October 19, 1865 in Rush County, Indiana (presumably at the home of a child), but is buried with her husband in the Williamsburg Cemetery in Wayne County, Indiana.
Thomas and Hannah Lamb were Quakers who were part of a large contingent of Quakers who moved in the early 1800’s from North Carolina to the Wayne County/Richmond Indiana area. Richmond is the home of Earlham College, which began as a Quaker boarding school for secondary students.
