Thomas LAMB

Abt 1599 - 1648  (49 years)

• Name	Thomas LAMB
  Birth	Abt 1599	Barnardiston, Suffolk, ENGLAND   [1]
  	Possibly born Barnardiston, Suffolk. The proposed origin of Thomas Lamb in Barnardiston is based on three baptisms only, which are chronologically consistent with what is known of the Roxbury man and his family [TAG 56:99], but this evidence is not conlcusive.
  Gender	Male
  Note	1630
  	At least 43 of the early settlers of Roxbury arrived on the Arbella in the Winthrop Fleet, 1630. They include: Johnson, Burr, Alcock, Lamb, Rawlins, Crafts, Dudley, Porter, Pratt, Goldwaithe, and Ruggles. In the year 1631 the ship "Lyon," William Piertie, master, left the shores of England with the first batch of Nazeing pilgrims on board. Eliot, the apostle, was there, with William Curtis and Sarah, his wife, Eliot's sister and their children, in company with the wife of Governor Winthrop. They were ten weeks on the water. In the summer of 1632 she once more left the Thames for Boston, having among her passengers William Heath, with his wife and children, and several other Nazeing worthies. Isaac, his elder brother, did not quit Nazeing until 1635. Early in 1633, John Graves, with his wife and five children, left their home for the shores of New England, and in 1635 they were followed by a large number of Nazeing Christians who came over in the "Hopewell." Others came later, but emigration from Old to New England ceased about 1640, when the popular cause there began to look hopeful.
  Death	28 Mar 1648	Roxbury, Suffolk, MA   [1]
  	Month 1, Day 28: Bro. Lamb died of a calenture (high fever) by a great cold." His remains lie in the family lot, which is now at the corner of Washington and Eustis Streets, Boston.
