Today in my database : Joseph Willets (b. October 13, 1677)

Today's featured relative in my database is my maternal 9th-great grandfather, Joseph Willets.

Joseph was born October 13, 1677 in Hempstead, Nassau Co., NY. Joseph married November 6, 1702 in Hempstead, Nassau Co., NY to Deborah Seaman, daugther of John and Maria (Moore) Seaman. Deborah was born ca. 1682 in Hempstead, Nassau Co., NY and died in 1733 in Haddonfield, Burlington Co., NJ. Joseph died in 1733 in Haddonfield, Burlington Co., NJ.

Clemon, June & Harold Lambertson

This photograph came from cousin Lloyd Adams in Florida, and was part of his mother's collection.

Pictured is my great-grandfather, Clemon Beals Lambertson, his wife, June Kirk (Davis) Lambertson, and my great-uncle, Harold Wayne Lambertson.

There is no date on the photograph, but since my great-uncle Harold was born in 1918, I would estimate that this photo is circa 1920, probably taken in Elwood, Madison Co., IN.
