Life

Jourdan Lamb was born in Giles County, Tennessee, about 1804, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date or place and does not name his parents.1 The federal census of 1850 lists Jourdan Lamb as the head of a household in Franklin County, Alabama, and the censuses of 1860 and 1870 list him, the second as Jordan Lamb, in Cache Township, Lawrence County, Arkansas, with a wife named Caroline.2 The tree names six children, born between 1844 and 1857: Rachiel R., Mary C., John T. C., Martha A., Matthew J. and Laban Lamb.3 It records his marriage to Caroline in Alabama in 1843, without a source, and identifies her as Caroline McKinney (1820–1897), a daughter of Eli McKinney of Chambers County.4 That identification cannot be right: Caroline McKinney married John Hicks in Chambers County in 1838, was enumerated as his wife in Alabama in 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880, and was bearing Hicks children in the same years in which the Lamb children were born.5 Inference Jourdan Lamb's wife Caroline was therefore another woman, whose maiden name is not known from the records in hand, and his family has been joined to the McKinneys by mistake.5 The tree records that he is deceased but gives no date or place of death.6
