Notes for John Wesley (Spouse 1)
"In the upper Suisun valley, within the limits of Napa county, John Wesley Lambert was born in 1856, and was one year old when his parents removed to Solano county. On reaching school age, he went to the public institutions of the county in which he resided, remaining therein until seventeen years old. As a young man he worked on a farm and tended stock until he was twenty-four years of age, but as the work was not congenial he determined to launch out for himself and work on his own account. As a result of this determination he now owns one hundred and ten acres of as good grain land as one could desire, in Suisun valley, and forty-five acres of fruit land near Fairfield; twenty-five acres in pears and the balance pasture. He has also found stock dealing very remunerative and to his liking and at the present time he is engaged in this vocation.

Mr.Lambert was married in Fairfield, October 26, 1880, to Miss Lovey Chadbourne, a native of the Suisun valley, and the daughter of Joseph and Ruth Annie (Hobbs) Chadbourne, natives of Maine. The father came toCalifornia in 1850, but subsequently returned to Maine, and after his marriage again came to California. He followed farming and horticulture in Suisun, and here he and his wife died. To Mr. and Mrs. Lambert six children were born, of whom five are now living, as follows: Edna, who became the wife of Hardy Wright, and now resides in Fairfield; Pearl, who became the wife of Clyde Wright, of Cement; Hazel, attending the Rio Vista Academy; Charles A., attending the Armejo high school of Fairfield; and Blanche, also attending school at Fairfield. Mr Lambert's father, Wesley Lambert, was born in Kentucky and first came to California across the plains in 1848 in an ox-train. He died in Mendocino county in January, 1899. His wife, Derinda (Berger) Lambert, was born in Iowa, and died at the age of sixty-five years.

Mr. Lambert is a member of Suisun Lodge No. 55, F. & A. M., and politically is a Democrat. Having spent the most of his life in Solano county it is no wonder that we find Mr. Lambert a man well liked and ected. Moreover, he is a man who delights to see things move along in the right direction, and he supports everything to this end."
