LAMB, Nehemiah (1777-1850: ancestry.com)
The son of Samuel and Tabitha Lamb, born in Groton CT, he became a farmer and a Baptist missionary. When he published his only book, he was living in Rome NY, near Utica. At some point he married Hannah Tyler and with her had at least four children. In 1824, Lamb and two of his sons--also travelling Baptist ministers--established a Baptist church in Stony Creek MI. In 1833 the Home Missionary Society sent them to Farmington MI, where Lamb built the first Baptist Church and Burying Ground, in 1835. In 1837, he established two other churches in Michigan. He is buried in what is now West Farmington Cemetery. (ancestry.com 26 Aug. 2019; Debra Ann Pawlak, Farmington and Farmington Hills [2003], 40; William Cathcart, The Baptist Encyclopedia [1881]) HJ
