Barbara S. Lambert b.1804
Thank you to Karen Sunderman for submitting several articles about Georg of Ship Sully's youngest daughter and her husband. In 1834, five years after the Schmitts sailed to America, the Lamberts traveled from Pennsylvania to Sandusky County, Ohio. Joseph later remarked that when he told the first fellow he met there that he planned to go west, the man laughed and said "You can't go west - this is the Black Swamp - you can't get through!"
It's one thing to read about pioneer life in a general way, but another to see how it affected your own family members. You can read more about the Lamberts' struggles and successes in our Family History Scrapbook.
