Springfield Cemetery Inscriptions from stones moved to their present site in 1848 by J.T. Browne 1911, at Springfield MA Library: "Lamb, John. Here lies interred the body of Mr John Lamb who departed this life July 1st Anno Dom. 1749, in the 59th year of his age (2-77)" Joshua moved with others from Springfield to Nova Scotia where he was granted 1 1/2 shares shares in the Township of Truro, in part of the lands from which the Acadians had been removed. He became a recorder of deeds, a member of the Assembly and then a Magistrate under the Crown. When the Revolutionary War came, Joshua was requested to take the oath of allegiance on account of prisoners escaping to the colonies. Instead of taking the oath of allegiance, he escaped to what is now Maine and addressed a Memorial to the Massachusetts Bay Colony stating the facts and asking for a land grant. They responded by giving him 200 acres at Lincolnville (Maine). His petition and their grant are recorded at the State House in Boston, and his Magistrate's seal is said to be there. ("The Descendants of Thomas Lambe of Roxbury", James Gordon Lamb, Houston TX 1993.) He is listed with patriotic service in Massachusetts , and may have been magistrate there. He and his brother-in-law Martin Brooks were each granted land in the Refugee Tracts in Ohio (near present day Columbus) by order of Congress in 1802. His descendents are eligible for Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution. His great and great-great grandfathers (Thomas and John) came to America in 1630 with the Winthrop Fleet. He is likely buried in this cemetery with his descendants but the stones can no longer be found.
