Milo Lamb, retired farmer, was born in Indiana, June 5, 1811, third son of 
Thomas and Hannah (Lewis) Lamb, natives of Randolph County, N.C., of English 
and Welsh origin, who came to Indiana about 1809 or 1810. In 1816 his parents 
moved to Wayne County and in the following year his father entered ten acres 
of Government land on section 3, which he cleared and improved, residing there 
about twelve years. He then sold his farm and entered 160 acres of unimproved 
land, where he followed farming until his death in 1852. He was an active 
member of the Methodist Episcopal church. His widow survived him about twelve 
years. Our subject has lived in Wayne County since he was five years old, a 
period of sixty-seven years. His youth was spent in assisting his father clear 
the farm, and in attending the subscription schools a short time during the 
winters. He was married Sept. 25, 1835, to Susan Cain, a native of Wayne 
County, Ind., and a daughter of John and Susannah Cain, natives of North 
Carolina. Of the seven children born to this union, six are living---Allen L., 
William S., Thomas M., Caroline, John H. and James M., all living in Wayne 
County. Joseph A. died in infancy. After his marriage, Mr. Lamb purchased a 
farm of eighty acres, partly improved, on section 3, where he followed farming 
about thirty years, with good success. Three of his sons served in the late 
war; one served during the war; one lost his health and was discharged before 
his time of enlistment expired, and one served nearly two years. Mrs. Lamb 
died March 26, 1875, and Mr. Lamb was again married Oct. 22, 1877, to Mrs. 
Julia Ann (Given) Thornburgh, widow of Walter Thornburgh, an old settler of 
Wayne County, who died in December, 1851. She had two children by her first 
marriage-Mary J. and E. P.
