General Notes: Husband - John Lamberton

---

Upon the tax list of Middleton township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, there appears in 1772 the name of John Lamberton. He stands taxed with 200 acres of land and two horses and two cows. So far as known he was the first person of his name who settled in the borders of Cumberland County. In October, 1773, he purchased from one Matthew McClure, then of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, a tract of land lying in Middleton township, containing 203 acres, 58 perches. In 1778 there also appears upon the records of Middleton township a James Lamberton "freeman;" and in 1779 a James Lamberton and Simon Lamberton, both designated "freeman." John Lamberton continues upon the Middleton township tax list at every assessment until in 1781, in which year he is accredited with personal property but with no land. After that date James and Simon Lamberton are taxed each with 100 acres of land, and John Lamberton disappears. It is probable that he died that year. Subsequent conveyances of land owned respectively by James and Simon Lamberton conclusively show that they were equal parts of the same tract that Matthew McClure in 1773 conveyed to John Lamberton, and located in the part of Middleton township that later became Middlesex township. This testimony of the public records establishes the fact that John Lamberton was in what is now Middlesex township, Cumberland County, as early as 1772, and that James and Simon Lamberton were his sons.
