Abial Lamb, his youngest son, was b. 1645 or 1646, and resided many years in Roxbury, where his three sons were b. About 1695 he removed to Framingham, Mass., and was constable 1700, and selectman 1701. Jona- than Lamb, his son, was b. in Roxbury, Nov. 11, 1682; he md. July 9, 1708, Lydia Death, of Watertown, and resided several years in Framing- ham, where he was constable 1717, and selectman three years. In 1726 or 1727 he removed to Spencer, Mass. Of this town he was the fourth settler. He was styled Lieutenant, and was a man of character and influence. He d. 1749. His descendants in Spencer and vicinity have been numerous. John Lamb, son of Jonathan, was b. March 5, 1727 ; md. April 21, 1752, Abigail Smith, of Leicester, and resided in Spencer, where he d. Jan. 13, 1796, aged 69; his widow d. May 7, 1799, aged 66. Major Isaac Lamb, his fourth son, was b. Dec. 30, 1764. He was a major in the militia. He md. Sept. 21, 1786, Sibillah White, b.

1 DEA. WILLIAM M. LAMB, b. in Worcester, Mass., son of Isaac and Betsey (Boice) Lamb, md. April 21, 1852, Delina Walker, dau. of Willard and Phebe (Thurston) Walker, of Royalston, Mass.

(2d) Jonathan Sher- win, q. v. He probably left no children, since none are mentioned in his will, dated May 3, 1784, in which he bequeaths to " Warren and Levi, sons of my brother, King Lapham, my gun and other warlike accoutrements." His wife, and his friend, Edward Jewett, are named as his executors. He d. Sept. 24, 1785, aged 45.

LIEUT. KING LAPHAM also removed to Rindge in 1780, but did not long remain a resident of this town. In 1784, then styled of Bradford, Mass., he sold the mills to Joseph Kimball, the father of William Kimball, in whose posses- sion they remained for many years. The mention of his sons, Warren and Levi, in his brother's will, is all the information discovered concerning his family.

EZEKIEL LEARNED, perhaps a native of Framingham, Mass., removed from New Salem, Mass., 1772. He was a soldier in the Revolution, as appears from pp. 108, 110, 136, 164. He was not md. in 1780, and his name is not found upon the earliest tax list (1793). Under date of Feb. 5, 1778, is recorded " Ezekiel Larned's mark of neat cattle and sheep is a crop off the off ear and slit on the under side of the near ear."

ISAAC LELAND, with his wife Mary and six children, removed from Westminster, Mass., in the summer of 1774. He d. in the army Sept. 3, 1777 (vide pp. 110, 131, 142), and his widow and children were provided for by the town for several years. Perhaps there were chil- dren younger than Hannah, Isaac, John, Mary Anne, and Betsey, who were b. previous to 1774.

Phebe Mores, dau. of Collins and Bathsheba (Wood) Mores, of Oxford, and resided in New Salem, Mass., or immediate vicinity, until about 1770, when he removed to Rindge, where he remained several years. About 1790 he removed to Rockingham, Vt., and later to Peterboro, N. H. He d. in Schuyler, N. Y., Sept. 24, 1812. From the "Book of the Lockes" it appears that several of his children were bap. as the children of Ebenezer and Mary Locke. The record must have been in error, since the birth of all his children appears in the Rindge records, and all are recorded as the children of Ebenezer and Phebe Locke.
