1673; Aug 14 “I made Goodman Lamb his will, but nothing has been found of it” Note: The phrase "but nothing has been found of it" may not be a correct translation because several researchers do not have this phrase. It could have been added by the diary transcriber. Therefore, the entry in the original may be as above; "I made Goodman Lam his will." [Thomas Miner’s diary]

1674: The Eight moneth is October … the .28. day of Thanksgiveing I was at New London saterday the 31. I was at Lams with Corne Minor, p. 125.

1674: Jun 18 & Dec 29 Stonington, CT, records show that Roger Plaisted was allowed to build a mill at the head of the Mystic R., apparently in connection with the mill John Lamb had leased.

1674: Nov 5 John Lamb Sr. leased a mill at the head of the Mystic River for seven years from Major John Winthrop, Ann Lamb signing as witness.

1674: John Winthrop, Esq., was granted twenty rods of land on both sides of the Mystic River to bring down "tymber" from Lantern Hill. In 1674 Winthrop's two sons had a mill built at the head of Mystic River. John Lamb was to run it. [Colver website]

1674: John Lamb is referenced in regard to a fulling mill in 1674. [The History of Stonington pg 137.]

1675: the third moneth is may … ffriday the 14. wee Looked Hanahs mare and was at manasses meadow and found Lams horse Minor, p. 129.

1677: The Bradstreet Journal reports; "Nove. 5 or 6. Goodman Lamb his Sonne was killed by being drawn in by the Coggeswheel of a wheel while he was busy grapling ye loggs, or some such employment.  This Lamb belonged to N. London and belonged upon ye Skirts of ye Town." November 5th or 6th, the son of Goodman Lamb was killed in a mill accident. NEHGR, Vol. 8, Pg 330 (published 1854).  [Bradstreet's Journal, year 1677.] [Note contributed by Jay G. Lamb, 8/7/2003: The interpretation of this {Quoted text} is important. This is the same as saying "Goodman Lamb's son ..." or "Mr. Lamb's son..."  Many researchers have not concluded that this was a son of this John.]

1677: "The 9th moneth is November … Thursday the .8. the .9. brother Avery and sister were heare John Lam was buried..." This Minor diary entry confirms the event in Bradstreet's Journal and reveals to us the given name of the son of Goodman Lamb was "John." [Minor, p. 145.] [Note contributed by Jay G. Lamb 8/7/2003: John Lamb died 5 or 6 Nov. and was buried on the 9th.  As we previously concluded, based upon these two items, John Lamb of Maine had a son named John Lamb who died and was buried in Nov. 1677. Joan {Best} points out that this John Lamb, Jr. was probably a young, unmarried man.  So, John Lamb of Maine could not have been the father of John Lamb of Braintree and Stonington. I would like to see these conclusions cited in the John Lamb of Maine timeline. That would help because many researchers have linked John Lamb d 1703/4 to John Lamb of Maine. See Pages 9 & 10 of the Chapter 7 Attachment entitled "Ancestry of Isaac Lamb  of  Groton, New London County, Connecticut" for more detail and proof John Lamb of Maine could not have been the father of John Lamb of Braintree.

1681: [Testimony in trial Colver vs Winthrop] John Packer said that John Lamb and John Bennet told him the wheel did wade in the back wash and that he himself had seen the wheel wade in the back wash. [Colver website] [Note: Apparently John did not testify which may indicate that he was no longer living.]

1683: May 29 Ann Lamb of New London bought back 4 yrs time of son Ebenezer from Henry Stevens of Stonington, wit: Thomas Lamb

1690: May 6 Ebenezer Lamb married at Norwich, Mary Armstrong

1694: Ebenezer Lamb d. at Norwich
