This genealogy begins With Obediah, who is the fourth generation in the line that begins in Virginia with Quaker John, through his son John who married Alce Hollowell; to his father who married first, a woman named Rachel, and second, to Rebecca Moore. This Obediah Small was born about 1732, and is the first person of that given name mentioned in Quaker and civil records of North Carolina.
Obediah is falsely listed in many genealogies as the son of an older Obediah born approximately 1700, and a son of John and Alce Hollowell Small. There is no document that can be found that proves this assertion, or that his wife is named Sarah, (some suggest Moore) and this Obediah died in 1778. No document can be found in Virginia that mentions a person named Obediah, and North Carolina documents do not mention an Obediah until 1755. It is difficult to believe that a person who was born in 1700, had a wife and children in 1720 and he, or the children are mentioned in no records, either civil or Quaker in Virginia. So what are these genealogies relying on to suggest there was a family named Obediah and Sarah, born about 1700? There are no records to support these genealogies, and those who claim this record is correct cannot produce any document to support that claim.
Most of this confusion is caused by a book published by Ruth Kline Ladd titled "One Ladds family." She bases this assertion on a will written in 1788, probated that year, but she mistakenly lists his death as 1778 based on a tax list written that year. She does list Sarah as widow, but failed to mention that the Widow Sarah remarried in 1802 to John Pike, and that she had 3 children under the age of 21 years at the time of her marriage. This should dispel the notion that a Sarah, who married Obediah about 1720 and had almost a dozen children would remarry in 1802 (at age 102?), and having children under 21 in 1802, (as per petition to the court) meaning she was having children at the age of 80 years of age.
The real truth is, there was no Obediah born about 1700. The first of this name was born about 1732, and was the son of John Jr. who married first, a woman named Rachel, and Obediah is the son of that marriage.

There is no record of an older Obediah in any Quaker MM Vol.1 prior to this date in North Carolina, and none appear in any records in volume 6, of Virginia for a person named Obediah. No civil records in Virginia indicate a person named Obediah ever resided there, or had family or children in any county of Virginia. No records of deeds or land grants have been found for any individual of this given name in Virginia.

Pasquotank County June Term 1802
To the worshipful the justices of the County Court of Pleas quarter sessions for the County of Pasquotank the petition of Elizabeth Small, Joshua Small and Nathan Small infants under the age of Twenty one years by John Pike their guardian and next friend humbly showith That Obediah Small your petitioners late father sometime on or about the fifteenth day of September in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty eight duly made and published his last Will and testament in writing and therein among other things bequeathed as follows " I leave all the remaining part of my estate to be sold & equally divided (after my just debt and funeral expenses are paid ) to six of my youngest children to them & their disposal and thereof appointed Samuel Small & William Grier executor and shortly after departed this life without having altered or revoked his said will.
Your Petitioner further show that the said Samuel Small proved the said will in due form of same and took upon himself the direction thereof and in conveyence thereof ----himself of the whole personal estate of his testator amounting after the payment of funeral charges debts & other legacies to a considerable sum and having paid over to the other ligatees their share or portion of the said residue departed this life intestate.
And your petitioner further says that after the death of the said Samuel administration of his estate was in due form of same committed to Miriam the widow and relict of the said Samuel who in conveyence thereof took into her possession the residue of the estate of the said Obadiah and administered by the said Samuel and --- not without the remaining proceeds the application of your petitioners to that purpose to account with for injury -- to your petitioners any part thereof to the - and in order to compell the said Miriam to do justice to your petitioners -- balance unreadable.
Note: Samuel was administrator of the estate, he died before he could disburse all the residue of his fathers estate to all the children, and his wife Miriam took the balance into his estate as his administrator. John Pike asks the court for her to account for the remainder of the residue of Obediah's estate and the court to disburse these assets to the remaining children. Since only three of the six Obediah mentions as "his youngest" it can be assumed that the three named were children of Obediah and Sarah, and the other three, apparently by his first wife, who received their share as per the petition.
The photocopy I received was difficult to read because the writing on the back of the page bled through, causing what was very legible writing to become impossible to decipher due to the bleed through from the last page. The unreadable portion has no negligible effect on the above.
Lydia (Bundy) Small died on 12-5-1780 as noted above in Hinshaw Vol. 1, p. 117. There is no second marriage listed for him in Quaker records because he remarried contrary to discipline as per Hinshaw on 2-19-1783, three years after the death of his first wife. That he did remarry is proved in Hinshaw Vol. 1 p. 165: Pasquotank Co., 2-19-1783 Obediah dis mcd. A year later, he asked for forgiveness from the meeting: 7-21-1784 Obediah con his conduct and was rst. He had three more children by this second wife (Sarah), as noted above in the petition by John Pike. They were married as follows:

ARAH ALBERTSON:Abstracts of Perquimans County Wills
Will of Elihu Albertson Book C page 396
10th of 9th month 1787 probate July 1789
Wife Jane: sons Josiah and Joshua: daus Miriam Albertson, SARAH SMALL, Lydia Wilson, Abigail Bond and Elizabeth Albertson.
The Albertson family lived in the same area that Obediah and Lydia lived and went to the same Meeting. Seems this Sarah would be the most likely to have married the widower Small. She inherited from her father and she was a widow and would have inherited from her first husband Benjamin Newby.
It can be assumed Sarah and Benjamin Newby had children, but none are mentioned in Hinshaw records. When Sarah, relict of Obediah married John Pike in 1802, witnesses included two persons named Mary and Enoch Newby, who could have been her children, although no mention of relationship is given in the minutes. Also attending were several persons named in Elihu's will above, Miriam and Elizabeth Albertson, and Lydia and Samuel Wilson, apparently sisters of Sarah.
Although no record specifically states Sarah's maiden name is Albertson, the circumstantial evidence points plainly in that direction. Sarah Albertson first married Benjamin Newby in Hinshaw's records, Obediah was dis mcd a few years after both he and Sarah lost their spouses, Sarah is named in Obediah's will as having an estate (her previous husband Ben, and possibly her fathers); named as relict of Obediah when she married John Pike, and three of Sarah Small's sisters, two named Albertson, and one name Lydia Wilson attend her marriage, and these are proved by Elihu Albertson's will. Two persons of the surname Newby also attend, and could be closely related, possibly children of Sarah by her previous marriage to Benjamin, or could have been her sister or brother-in-laws

The men selected were Richard Barrett, Josiah Thomasson, Walter Canady, Caleb Sumner, Obediah Small and Joseph Small.
The boundary established was as follows: "The new road leading from New Lancaster to Chillicothe; thence up the state road to the Indian Ford on Paint Creek; thence up Paint Creek to the mouth of Rattlesnake (fork of Paint); thence up Rattlesnake to the mouth of Fall Creek; thence the road leading to Hillsborough; thence the new state road to West Union."

Bundy Family Record
Joseph Small, son of Obediah Small (2) and Lydia Bundy, was born 26 Nov 1767, in Pasquotank Co., NC. He was married 1st to Meley Cartwright. On 16 March 1793, he was married to Clarkey (Clarissa) Perisho, who was born 28 Feb 1773, Pasquotank Co., daughter of Joshua Perisho and Miriam Morris (See Perisho and Morris Family)
On 30 Jan 1796, they requested a certificate from Back Creek Monthly Meeting. In 1806, they moved to Miami Monthly Meeting, OH; and later to Fall Creek Monthly Meeting, OH. On 28 Aug 1814, at Salt Creek, Highland Co., OH, Joseph was drowned while crossing a stream with horses. They became tangled in their harness and he lost his life while trying to rescue them. In 1816, with the exception of the two older daughters, the family moved to New Garden MM., IN.
About 1828, Abel Roberts and wife, moved to the Fall Creek neighborhood where they lived in a hewed log house which belonged to a widow woman who was crazy. The rent went towards her support. They lived there and took care of the old woman. Her name was Small. Her husband had been drowned and her children scattered out and were then living in Indiana. She was very crazy and had to be confined. Her children finally sent word that they would take care of her if they would bring her to them, which they did in Oct 1837 - to the Mississinewa Meeting in Grant Co, where she lived with her son Joshua until her death at an advanced age.

F-2. Joshua Small and Jane Bowen
Joshua Small, son of Joseph Small and Clarkey Perisho, was born 5 March 1797, at Back Creek, NC. He moved with his parents from NC, to Highland Co., OH. In 1816, he moved along with his brothers to Randolph Co.,IN. He was married there, the 8th or 11th Nov 1819. to Jane Bowen, who was born 27 Sep 1803, in Green Co., OH, dau of Ephraim Bowen and Hannah Hale. (See Bowen Family) They had 16 children. He owned a grist mill on Deer Creek near Jonesboro, Grant Co., IN. In 1823 he was condemned by the Quaker church for going to the law, in regard to a dispute with a fellow member. He was also condemned for rendering spirituous liquor (moonshining.) They were both disowned for neglecting the attendance at church. In 1829 he purchased and settled on 640 acres (known as section 17) in Grant Co (later known as the Hollingsworth farm.) In 1832 they joined the White River Meeting in IN. In 1848 he was a partner with Elias Coleman in operating a general store. Jane died 29 Nov 1858, near Greenvale, Dallas Co., IA. Was she visiting there? Joshua died 23 April 1861, in Jonesboro, Grant Co., IN. Or was he visiting at their old place. They left land in IA, which eventually was inherited by their granddaughter Mary Adams. Two of the sons lived in KS in 1868
Jane's obituary states that she died of consumption 29 Nov 1858, in Greenvale, Dallas Co., IO. "The deceased was for many years a resident of this county, where she was highly esteemed for her many good qualities of mind and heart. As a wife she was constant, dutiful and companionable. As a mother she was kind and affectionate. Devoted in all her relations in life, she was no less so as a friend and Christian. There was no affection of sympathy for the sick or distressed, but a real fellow feeling which evinced itself in acts for their relief. The writer of this, from an intimate acquaintance can attest to her amiable disposition and exemplary character. She was, in every respect, a model for her sex, and shared in a large degree the love and confidence of her numerous acquaintances. As a Christian and philanthropist, she was active and hopeful. There was always an air of cheerful resignation about her that inspired her friends with sentiments of the highest respect. We feel that it is difficult to speak of her in all these qualities - which were peculiarly hers - in language adequate to her worth. She was truly one to remember and imitate in all the duties of life; and we have thus endeavored to record her excellence with feelings of admiration for the same; and no doubt her numerous friends everywhere, will read them with the same pleasurable recollections.

Hezekiah Lamb and Hannah Small
Hezekiah Lamb, (F-611-Part II), the oldest child of John Lamb and Lydia Mendenhall, was born 16 July 1815 in Wayne Co, IN. The full account of John Lamb's ancestors will be found in Part II. The full account of Lydia Mendenhall's ancestors will be found in Part III. This line is recorded as far back as years 300-400, the lines of King Alfred the Great of England, and William the Conqueror of England, Kings of Scotland, Ireland, Hungary, France, Germany, to Charlemaigne the first Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, who claimed to be descended from Julius Caesar.
Hezekiah was married in Grant Co. IN, to Hannah Small, who was born 5 Aug 1820, probably in Randolph Co. IN, daughter of Joshua Small and Jane Bowen. The full account of Hannah's ancestors will be found in Part IV.
Their oldest child was born five months before they were married. The Quaker record states that on 9 Mar 1836, Hannah was reprimanded for unchastity, but that she denied it. One can only read between the lines. Certainly, Hezekiah accepted James as his son. Their marriage license says the license was granted on the 20 May 1836 and that they were married on 20 May 1836 by a justice of the peace. To be married by a justice of the peace was contrary to Quaker discipline, and on 8 June 1836 at the Mississinewa-Marion MM, IN, note was made; he was condemned for misconduct. On 16 July 1841 Hezekiah was charged with non-attendance, and for not satisfying a just debt.
They had lived in Grant County about 17 years, when they decided to move west as many of the Quakers were doing then, including the Moormans, Winslows, and Piersons. They left IN with teams and covered wagons. Hezekiah and Hannah lived briefly in Fayette Co. IA, where their son Hale was born, then settled in Dallas Co. IA, until 1864, then moved to Fremont County in the southwest corner of IA, near the little town of Riverton. After his father's death, his mother Lydia, came to live with them for a time. There they finished raising their family. They had grandchildren who lived with them from time to time.
The Civil War was to cause them personal grief. They had two sons that enlisted in Iowa companies. Wilson Lamb marched with Sherman through Georgia, and came through safely, but his younger brother Joshua, died during the last days of the war. Joshua never saw his youngest brother, Luna Albert, born after he went away. Hannah saved many of their letters; they are included here, in Family Group "D" and "G." The letters give some personal insight to the close family ties, and family life.
About 1881 Hezekiah and Hannah moved to Jewell Co, KS. With the exception of James who drifted a little south into MO, and Jane, Rebecca, and Mary Angeline, who were married and remained in IA, at least for a time, their children and their families also made another move west. Many of Silas' children moved to Custer Co. NE, though Silas stayed in IA until after the death of his wife in 1895. Jewell County lies on the Nebraska border, and the clans settled on both sides.
Hezekiah's farm was located three miles west and two south of Northbranch, straight north of Esbon, KS. It was a pretty little place between two small streams that met close by. It had a road that curved among the trees, and orchards and meadows. Today there are no buildings there. Northbranch, a Quaker community, once a thriving community, had a college, Friends' Academy, next door to the house where his son Hale lived after he retired. The Quaker cemetery where Hezekiah and Hannah were buried was across the street.
Hezekiah died 27 Mar 1897, at the age of 82, on the "homeplace" west of Northbranch, KS, in Jewell County. He died rather suddenly, and there was speculation that he had ptomaine poisoning. After the death of his father, Luna Albert, who was still unmarried at age 34, promised to take care of his mother the rest of her life. She was then 77. In return he was supposed to receive the farm. However, he was married shortly after that, to 18 year old Maud Wilson. The house had two rooms, and two baby boys came along shortly. The arrangement was not a happy one. Luna Albert decided to move to Ford Co. in southwest KS. After that, Hale and Mollie, who already had a large family, moved onto the place. They built a house for themselves, while Hannah lived in hers. After the death of Hannah, Hale used it to add extra space to his own house.
Hale's children remembered Grandma with great affection. She spoiled them and taught them to drink coffee. She told them a story about how she had Indian forbearers. This great granddaughter can find no evidence of such a thing, but the story still persists. Once, when a granddaughter remarked about the hole in her apron, Hannah turned it over and said, "Look, there's one on the other side, too."
Hannah died 1 Oct 1906, and was buried beside Hezekiah in the Quaker Cemetery in Northbranch, KS. The tombstone that now stands at the gravesite is not the original marker, (which was very small) and does not carry the correct birthday. Their son, John, seems to have been the one that put up the later one, because he thought the first one was wrong.
The Esbon Times for that week had this note: "The old lady Lamb died at the home of her son Hale north of town, last Sunday night, and was buried at the Stone Church Cemetery on Monday. She was 86 years old." The following week, 11 Oct 1906, the Burr Oak Herald carried this obituary: "Hannah Small was born 5 Aug 1820, died 1 Oct 1906, and married Hezekiah Lamb in 1836. She gave birth to 18 children, 11 of which survive her. She left 107 grandchildren, and approximately 140 great grandchildren, as near as can be traced, and 2 or 3 great great grandchildren."
There were at least 6 grandchildren born after her death. Today, it is hard to imagine what it would be like to have that many grandchildren. Apparently, she did try to keep track of them, although it is no wonder, that she did not know the exact number of great grandchildren. I wish I could have found her records. There must be someone in the family somewhere that has them. Luna Albert had a small Bible that had belonged to her, but did not carry family records.

Notes for J
ANE BOWEN:Jane’s obituary states that she died of consumption 29 Nov 1858, in Greenvale, Dallas Co., IO. "The deceased was for many years a resident of this county, where she was highly esteemed for her many good qualities of mind and heart. As a wife she was constant, dutiful and companionable. As a mother she was kind and affectionate. Devoted in all her relations in life, she was no less so as a friend and Christian. There was no affection of sympathy for the sick or distressed, but a real fellow feeling which evinced itself in acts for their relief. The writer of this, from an intimate acquaintance can attest to her amiable disposition and exemplary character. She was, in every respect, a model for her sex, and shared in a large degree the love and confidence of her numerous acquaintances. As a Christian and philanthropist, she was active and hopeful. There was always an air of cheerful resignation about her that inspired her friends with sentiments of the highest respect. We feel that it is difficult to speak of her in all these qualities - which were peculiarly hers - in language adequate to her worth. She was truly one to remember and imitate in all the duties of life; and we have thus endeavored to record her excellence with feelings of admiration for the same; and no doubt her numerous friends everywhere, will read them with the same pleasurable recollections.

EMIMA JONES CAIN:Title: death date taken from tombstone; birth date calculated from death date
Jemima was born in Ohio (unconfirmed) on 3-23-1811. Records say she was married to a man by the name of Farmer but I have not been able to document that. She did marry John H. Cain with the license being issued on 2-20-1841. He died in 1866.
Jemima and Jesse would not have had any children most likely since she was 69 when they married. From the Springfield MM , Wayne Co., IN the records state that "Jesse s Joseph & Clarky Grant Co. m Jemima Cain dt Daniel & Jemima Jones at public mtg in her res Economy (8-24-1880). The next entry is: 9-15-1880 - Jemima (Cain) rec in mbrp. and the next entry is: 1-15-1881 - Jemima gct Mississinewa MM.
In the Mississenewa MM minutes there are 2 entries under Small that relate to Jesse and Jemima. the 1st is: 9-8-1880 Jesse gct Springfield MM, Ind to m Jemima Cain. The 2nd is: 2-9-1881 - Jemima rocf Springfield MM, Ind I guess that doesn't mean there are 2 different marriage dates necessarily.

OSIAH SMALL:Records written by my husband's grandmother, Dora Cox Leamon.
"Josiah Small was my grandfather, born Feb 9, 1827, the son of Jesse Small and Elizabeth Draper. On January 24, 1850, he married Nancy Jane Boxell. To this union were born eleven children. All grew to manhood and womanhood, all were married and became prosperous, except Alfred who died a young man -age 18."
"Josiah Small was one of the first school teachers in Franklin Township, Grant Co., Indiana. Besides farming, he also was a shoemaker at the time of his death and owned about 160 acres. Seven of the children were born in a log cabin. Rhoda, Lucy, Jesse, and Elizabeth were born in a frame house built in 1864 and still standing and occupied. The Small homestead is located mile north and a mile west of Roseburg in Franklin Township on the banks of Pipe Creek."
"Josiah Small died in 1878. With the help of the older children, some of whom were married, my grandmother managed to keep the family together. Nancy Jane Boxell's family came from Virginia and were aristocrats. She was a devout Christian. Roseburg was the capital of Franklin Township and the meeting place of the neighborhood. My mother often told about as young girls they would go barefooted through the big woods and when they got to church would put on their shoes. . . ."
"Grandmother Small (Nancy Jane Boxell) lived a frugal life and knew the value of a dollar. All ten children lived and died the same way. Some became quite wealthy. Nancy Jane Small died Oct. 20, 1890 and is buried beside Josiah in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery at Marion, Indiana. My father always said that Grandmother Small was the greatest of cooks. . . . "In addition to the family record, I also have a "Small" genealogy research done by some unknown person years ago. It has been in the family for a number of years but those who know the origin are now gone. It does not give references but seems to have been pulled from Quaker records. It mentions a Josiah Small who married Sarah Simons on Nov 3, 1850 but does not connect the pair to anyone. It also mentions Josiah Small born Feb. 9, 1827 who married Nancy Jane Boxell on Jan. 24, 1850. It connects this Josiah to Jesse and Elizabeth Draper Small. I could send you a copy of this although it doesn't constitute proof.

ANNAH7 SMALL (JOSHUA6, JOSEPH5, OBEDIAH4, JOHN3, JOHN2, JOHN1) was born Aug 05, 1820 in Randolph Co., IN, and died Oct 01, 1916 in North Branch, Esbon, Jewell Co., KS. She married HEZEKIAH LAMB May 20, 1836 in Grant Co., IN, son of JOHN LAMB and LYDIA MENDENHALL. He was born Jul 16, 1815 in Grant Co., IN, and died Mar 27, 1897 in North Branch, Jewell Co., KS.Notes for H
EZEKIAH LAMB:Hezekiah Lamb, the oldest child of John Lamb and Lydia Mendenhall, was born 16 July 1815 in Wayne Co, IN. The full account of John Lamb’s ancestors will be found in Part II. The full account of Lydia Mendenhall’s ancestors will be found in Part III. This line is recorded as far back as years 300-400, the lines of King Alfred the Great of England, and William the Conqueror of England, Kings of Scotland, Ireland, Hungary, France, Germany, to Charlemaigne the first Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, who claimed to be descended from Julius Caesar.
Hezekiah was married in Grant Co. IN, to Hannah Small, who was born 5 Aug 1820, probably in Randolph Co. IN, daughter of Joshua Small and Jane Bowen. The full account of Hannah’s ancestors will be found in Part IV.
Their oldest child was born five months before they were married. The Quaker record states that on 9 Mar 1836, Hannah was reprimanded for unchastity, but that she denied it. One can only read between the lines. Certainly, Hezekiah accepted James as his son. Their marriage license says the license was granted on the 20 May 1836 and that they were married on 20 May 1836 by a justice of the peace. To be married by a justice of the peace was contrary to Quaker discipline, and on 8 June 1836 at the Mississinewa-Marion MM, IN, note was made; he was condemned for misconduct. On 16 July 1841 Hezekiah was charged with non-attendance, and for not satisfying a just debt.
They had lived in Grant County about 17 years, when they decided to move west as many of the Quakers were doing then, including the Moormans, Winslows, and Piersons. They left IN with teams and covered wagons. Hezekiah and Hannah lived briefly in Fayette Co. IO, where their son Hale was born, then settled in Dallas Co. IO, until 1864, then moved to Fremont County in the southwest corner of IO, near the little town of Riverton. After his father’s death, his mother Lydia, came to live with them for a time. There they finished raising their family. They had grandchildren who lived with them from time to time.
The Civil War was to cause them personal grief. They had two sons that enlisted in Iowa companies. Wilson Lamb marched with Sherman through Georgia, and came through safely, but his younger brother Joshua, died during the last days of the war. Joshua never saw his youngest brother, Luna Albert, born after he went away. Hannah saved many of their letters.
About 1881 Hezekiah and Hannah moved to Jewell Co, KS. With the exception of James who drifted a little south into MO, and Jane, Rebecca, and Mary Angeline, who were married and remained in IO, at least for a time, their children and their families also made another move west. Many of Silas’ children moved to Custer Co. NE, though Silas stayed in IO until after the death of his wife in 1895. Jewell County lies on the Nebraska border, and the clans settled on both sides.
Hezekiah’s farm was located three miles west and two south of Northbranch, straight north of Esbon, KS. It was a pretty little place between two small streams that met close by. It had a road that curved among the trees, and orchards and meadows. Today there are no buildings there. Northbranch, a Quaker community, once a thriving community, had a college, Friends’ Academy, next door to the house where his son Hale lived after he retired. The Quaker cemetery where Hezekiah and Hannah were buried was across the street.
Hezekiah died 27 Mar 1897, at the age of 82, on the "homeplace" west of Northbranch, KS, in Jewell County. He died rather suddenly, and there was speculation that he had ptomaine poisoning. After the death of his father, Luna Albert, who was still unmarried at age 34, promised to take care of his mother the rest of her life. She was then 77. In return he was supposed to receive the farm. However, he was married shortly after that, to 18 year old Maud Wilson. The house had two rooms, and two baby boys came along shortly. The arrangement was not a happy one. Luna Albert decided to move to Ford Co. in southwest KS. After that, Hale and Mollie, who already had a large family, moved onto the place. They built a house for themselves, while Hannah lived in hers. After the death of Hannah, Hale used it to add extra space to his own house.
Hale’s children remembered Grandma with great affection. She spoiled them and taught them to drink coffee. She told them a story about how she had Indian forbearers. This great granddaughter can find no evidence of such a thing, but the story still persists. Once, when a granddaughter remarked about the hole in her apron, Hannah turned it over and said, "Look, there’s one on the other side, too."
Hannah died 1 Oct 1906, and was buried beside Hezekiah in the Quaker Cemetery in Northbranch, KS. The tombstone that now stands at the gravesite is not the original marker, (which was very small) and does not carry the correct birthday. Their son, John, seems to have been the one that put up the later one, because he thought the first one was wrong.
The Esbon Times for that week had this note: "The old lady Lamb died at the home of her son Hale north of town, last Sunday night, and was buried at the Stone Church Cemetery on Monday. She was 86 years old." The following week, 11 Oct 1906, the Burr Oak Herald carried this obituary: "Hannah Small was born 5 Aug 1820, died 1 Oct 1906, and married Hezekiah Lamb in 1836. She gave birth to 18 children, 11 of which survive her. She left 107 grandchildren, and approximately 140 great grandchildren, as near as can be traced, and 2 or 3 great great grandchildren."
There were at least 6 grandchildren born after her death. Today, it is hard to imagine what it would be like to have that many grandchildren. Apparently, she did try to keep track of them, although it is no wonder, that she did not know the exact number of great grandchildren. I wish I could have found her records. There must be someone in the family somewhere that has them. Luna Albert had a small Bible that had belonged to her, but did not carry family records.

ACHARIAH THADEUS SMALL:Birth and death confirmed by cemetery inscription
ZACARIAH T. SMALL, a prominent farmer of Posey Township,
was born near his present place of residence August 30, 1850.
He was the son of Josiah and Susannah (Maggard) Small, natives of North Carolina and Virginia, respectively. The former, who was the son of Abraham and Delilah Small, was born February 13, 1812, and his wife was just one day his senior, being born February 12, 1812. He was reared upon a farm, and in winter he attended the district school, but the advantages were poor, and consequently his early education was but ordinary. His marriage to Miss Mattie Holding occurred January 13, 1870 She was born in Shelby County, May 31, 1853, being the daughter of John and Lydia A. (Cannon) Holding, natives of Pennsylvania and Indiana, respectively. Immediately after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Small settled upon the farm they now occupy, where the former has ever since given his attention to agricultural pursuits. He owns a fine farm of 240 acres, nearly 200 of which are in an excellent state of cultivation. His farm contains a handsome little residence, and improved as it is in other respects, it is one of the most desirable locations in the county. Mr. Small and wife have had four children: Crilla, born November 22, 1870; Estella, born July 8, 1873; Riley, born April 4, 1879, and Rufus K., born September 22, 1883, died August 22, 1884. Our subject and his wife are members of the Friends' Church. In politics, Mr. Small is a Republican. From the 1888 publication by Brant & Fuller, History of Rush County Indiana (Note: at this time Roy Morton Small had not been born.)
Abraham and his wife and Josiah and his wife are buried at the friends cemetery behind the church in Carthage. Since then all family members have been buried in Asbury Cemetery, Morristown, Hanover Twp, Shelby County IN.
