Notes: "Tom and Kate left the NC area ca 1846 for California; they got as far as Attalla, Mississippi where they remained until abt 1851. From there, they traveled to Drew Co, ARK where they settled. - Amy Bishop Flowers 1999. - rhg In the year 1851, Mr. Lamb moved to Arkansas, and took up land near Monticello, where he entered upon a career of usefulness. He hauled the first load of dry goods to Monticello, and was one of the very first settlers of that region. He now owns over 1,000 acres of land in DrewCounty, the most of which is tillable, and over one-third under cultivation. His labors to secure a home for himself and family were begun at a great disadvantage, but being persevering and enterprising, he soon began to accumulate means, and at the opening of the late war he was in good circumstances. During the Rebellion he became deputy quartermaster, under Maj. Latimore in the State service, and for some time was stationed at Fulton, after which he was detailed to steamboat service, and was captured at Poplar Bluff, on Bayou Bartholomew, this being the only time in which he was exposed to Yankee bullets, during his service. Soon after being captured he was paroled, and on June 4, 1865, returned to his home to find much of his property destroyed, but he immediately set to work to make good his losses, and has more than done so. He is a Democrat in his political views, a Council Mason, and although not a member of any church, he donates liberally to their support, and is considered a useful and influential citizen in the community in which he resides.
