The family from which the Woodbury and Bethlem branches are descended, we find in history established itself in Normandy, in France. It appears from the records of heraldry, that they were of the highest respectability in that place, and on them were bestowed the various orders of knighthood. When William the Conqueror invaded En- gland, he took with him Rodolph de Lambert, as his knight of arms. He is the first of the name of which we have any account in En- gland. His name appears to indicate that his family was from Lom- bardy, as the particle de signifies from, or of, which amounts to Ro- dolphus from Lombardy ; thus retaining in what has now become a

family name, the memorial of the place from which he and his ances- tors emigrated.
It appears from English heraldry, that he had a family in Nor- mandy, previous to his going to England, and that a branch of it set- tled in Bologna, Italy. Cardinal Lambertina, of this family, who was elected Bishop of Rome, Ang. 27, 1730, and took the title of Benedict XIV., always claimed relationship with the Earl of Cavan's family, who trace their descent from Rodolph de Lambert, who went to England with William the Conqueror.
Rodolph de Lambert left one son, Hugh, and from him are descend- ed all of the name in England and North America. IIngh had by his wife Matilda, Sir William, his heir, who married Gundred, daugh- ter of the Earl of Warren and Surrey, by Gundred, the fourth daugh- ter of William the Conqueror, and widow of Roger de Bellamont, Earl of Warwick. By her he had a son, Henry, standard bearer to Henry II. He married Alice, sister of William Mandeville, Earl of Essex. He had a son John, who settled in Skipton, in York, who had two sons, Sir Edmund and Thomas. Sir Edmund had three sons : Edmund, who settled in Skipton ; Richard, the third son, set- tled in Lincolnshire ; Sir John, the second, had two sous : Edmund. who died unmarried, and Sir Thomas, who married Dorothy, daugh- ter of Thomas Cressey, and had Henry, his heir, who by Isabel, eldest daughter of John Lambert, of Preston, grandson of Edmund, of Skip- ton, had Sir Henry, who by Maudaunt, daughter of Baldwin de Vere, had Allayne, who had two sons, Sir Thomas, of Oldton, in Northum- berland, and Godfrey, who was seated in Long Preston, and married Ellen Fulthrop, cousin of Lord Clifford, and had John, his heir. He married Elizabeth Whitmore, and had six sons : William, who died without issue ; Thomas, who lived in Skipton, from whom are de- scended a numerous issue ; particularly noted are John Lambert, who commanded the parliamentary forces against King Charles the First, and Richard, ancestor of the Earl of Cavan. John left a numer- ous issue. Christopher and Henry were slain, and left no children. Richard, the third son, left Walter, his heir, who resided in Carlshal- ton. He had by a daughter of Sir John Gaynesford, Thomas, who left no issue ; Roger, slain in the siege of Bulloine, unmarried ; Wal- ter, and Richard, an alderman of London in 1567, in which year he died. His son, Thomas, settled in Laverstock, Hants, from whom is descended a numerous issue ; Walter, the third son, had by Rose, daughter of Oliver Wallop, ancestor of the Earl of Portsmouth, Oli- ver, his heir, the first baron, who was created Lord Lambert and

Earl of the County of Cavan, in 1617. He died June or July 9, 1718. His lordship married Hester, daughter of William Fleetwood, Knight, by whom he had two sons, Charles, his heir, and Carey, who died unmarried. Charles, on the 12th of May, 1642, was made gov- ernor of the city of Dublin. He married Jane, second daughter of Robert Robaites, Baron of Truro, and sister of John Robaites, Earl of Radnor, by whom he had Richard, his heir, Thomas, Charles, and Walter, who left no children. Oliver, the third, settled in Paynes- ton, in the county of Meath, married four wives, and left a numerous issue.
Richard, the second earl, married Rosa, daughter of Sir James Wade, and left one son, Charles, the third earl, who married in 1670, Castillina, daughter of Henry Gilbert, Esq., who had Charles. Lord Lambert died in 1689. Richard, the fourth earl; Henry died Nov. 18, 1774 ; left three sons, Richard, the late earl, Thomas and Oliver. Richard, the fourth earl, was an officer in King William's army, in Spain, Portugal and the West Indies, and one of his majesty's privy counselors. He married in Barbadoes, W. I., Margaret, daughter of Capt. Trant. He died in 1741, aged 76. He had Gilbert, Lord, who died young, and Ford, the fifth and late earl, who married Eliz- abeth, daughter of James Wade, Esq., and left two daughters, Sophia and Gertrude. He died Nov. 29, 1782, aged 54. The sixth earl, Richard, was son of Henry, third son of Charles, the third earl. He married, first, Sophia, daughter and co-heir of Oliver Lambert, fourth son of the third Earl of Cavan, by whom he had no children ; second, Elizabeth, daughter of John Davis, Esq., Nov. 13, 1762, by whom he had Sophia and one son, his successor, Richard, the seventh earl. He succeeded on the death of his father, Nov. 13, 1762.
Jesse, the great-grandfather of Nehemiah, and Jesse Peck Lam- bert, emigrated from England about 1680. He was from a collateral branch of the Earl of Cavan's family, settled in Wiltshire or Devon. Roger Lambert, his cousin, about the same time emigrated, and set- tled in New Jersey, where his descendants are now numerous.
Jesse Lambert, (according to family tradition,) previous to his coming to New England, had been an officer in the British navy ; had been up the Mediterranean Sea against the Turks, and had a desper- ate engagement with a Turkish corvette, which he captured, and re- turning to England, landed amid the acclamation of the people. He first landed, on coming to America, at Boston, but in a few days he proceeded to New Haven, and soon after to Milford, where he settled. His residence wa son the west side of Wepowaug River, a few rods
