Family Milestones: January 30th

My maternal 5th-great granduncle, Thornton JACOBS, was married on this date in 1822 in Brown County, Ohio to Maraba HOWLAND.  Thornton was the son of William and Sibell (LITTELL) JACOBS, and the younger brother of my James Thomas JACOBS.  Thornton was born 1794 in Virginia.  I do not have birth and death dates for Maraba.  Nothing further is known at this time.

My maternal 3rd-great granduncle, Carmon W. LAMBERTSON, was born on this date in 1828 in New Jersey.  Carmon was the son of John and Sarah A. (WILLSON) LAMBERTSON, and the older brother of my Carey W. LAMBERTSON.  Carmon married circa 1851 in Ohio to Mary Jane VANLUE.  Mary was born circa 1835 in Ohio.  Carmon was a farmer and wagon maker in Darke and Montgomery Cos., Ohio.  Carmon died August 17, 1870 in German Township, Montgomery County, Ohio.

Carmen Lambertson Family - Montgomery & Darke Co., OH

The Carmen Lambertson family appears in the 1860 census of German Twp., Montgomery Co., OH and the 1870 census of Van Buren Twp., Darke Co., OH. While I have his name as being spelled 'Carmon', both census records spell it as 'Carmen'. Carmon was my maternal 3rd-great granduncle.

Carmen's occupation was that of a farmer in 1860 and a wagon maker in 1870. He and his wife Mary must have lost two children as during that time period as daughter Florence b. circa 1851 and son James b. circa 1853 were not listed in the 1870 census. The value of Carmen's personal estate was only $100 in 1870.
