  Timothy G. Lamb. Was born in Syracuse, New York, April 16, 1833. When six
years of age he moved with his parents to Lorain county, Ohio, where he remained
until twelve years of age, when he became a sailor; first employed on the lakes,
and afterwards at sea. After being thus occupied for fourteen and a half years
he emigrated to California in 1858, and landed in San Francisco on January 13th
of that year. He immediately proceeded to the mines in Tuolumne county, where he
remained for eighteen months, after which he engaged in dairying in Napa county,
and on August 21, 1860, came to Marin and settled in Point Reyes township, where
he engaged in dairying for several years. In 1875, he located on the "Black
tract," where he now resides. Married January 10, 1864, Maria Cockran, a native
of Ireland. Their children are Alynia, Selah G., Helen F., Louisa A., Kize G.,
and Charles A. Mr. Lamb was present at the wreck of the "Sea Nymph," and
