[Wm. LAMB 2d is listed in the 1867 Directory of Huron. William and Almina McWHARF LAMB are buried in Rose Cemetery, as is Almina's mother Hannah SCUTT McWHARF (d. 1872). I think the comparison of this household in the 1870 census with former Galen historian Bill Dean's records may explain at least one tie between the Rose/Huron descendants of Isaac LAMB and the SCUTTS. Hayden LAMB is also buried in Rose Cemetery. In the 1880 Huron census, William LAMB, age 68, resides with wife wife Almina, age 66, son Hayden, age 45, and daughter-in-law Mary E., age 42.]

If you need more immediate access to see who else lived in the Town of Huron for this census year, a search of their own transcription can be ordered from the Office of the County Historian in Lyons, or census film can be rented from a Mormon Family History Center.

Censustaker Wm. J. Glen's penmanship was neater and more legible than most, but open to interpretation. Several first names and surnames were difficult to make out. If someone's name is totally off-base or misinterpreted, or a number was read wrong, please contact the site coordinators with the correction. It's advisable to take all online census transcriptions as a starting point and view the original census microfilm yourself.
