First Ancestor, Christopher Lambing, Born in, (family tradition has the Alsace Lorraine region of France, about 1720), but I think he is the son of Christopher Lambing and Anna Catherine Ackerman and that he was born May 17, 1733, in Erfweiler, Saarland, Germany (click here to see German record) died 1812, in Nockamixion township Bucks county Pennsylvania, (near the present town of Revere Pa.), married Maria Anna Wanner, May 19, 1766. At this point I am confined to family tradition since there are no public record to follow, and tradition holds that are ancestor is George Jacob Lambing, son of Christopher Lambing and Maria Wanner, Andrew Arnold Lambing, wrote in his book "George Jacob (name in register) born November 11, 1768: who went by the name of Jacob. He Married a Miss Phillips, most probably in Adams county, where he had a family, and moved to Allegheny city in the early part of the present century, where he died, and where some of his descendants lived until lately, who call themselves Lampton, because Lambing was "to Dutch". ( Our family tradition has it, that, this is my anscestor) " This appears to be true, at least as far as there being a George Jacob Lambing, being my ancestor,(please note Jane Ogle Lampton, in her affidavitt, in Phanuel Lambing pension record stated Phanuel father was Jacob Lampton, however the Pittsburgh baptismal records states his name was George, click here to see Pittsburgh Baptismal record ), however it is unclear if it is the same George Jacob son of Christopher Lambing. George Jacob Lambing, son of Christopher was probably born in Bucks county Pa., and the Gosshenhoppen Registers, states that both where baptized in Magunshi, (which today is known as Macungie, in Lehigh county Pa., and is between Quakertown and Allentown Pa.).
Please note although the Conewago records and the Pittsburgh records don't agree as to dates, the source of the Conewago

New information
. Phanuel Lambing Served in the Civil Was in the Illinose 21st, under
the named Frank Lampton, when he was buried it was under the name Channel
Lambing (a mistake for Phanuel Lambing), this cause a problem for his widow
Jane (Ogle) Lambing, she had to proved he was Frank Lampton and explain
why he served under a different name and was burried under a different name,
so that she could recieve his pension. To recieved Phanuel Lambing
Pension she had to give several depositions, which where included in his
pension and which I am now posting on this web site.
