Additional Comments:
Peter Lamkin's will was recorded 26 Jul 1826 in Edgefield District.  His legacy 
to Edmund Lamkin Whatley identifies him as his nephew.

Helen Lamkin was the daughter of Thomas Lamar (will recorded c1802, Edgefield) 
and Lydia (Murfey) Lamar, whose will was recorded in Edgefield in 1835.  

Helen's niece, Caroline Lamkin Statham, daughter of her sister Martha (Lamar) 
Siebles, was married to Barnet Statham, son of William and Jane (Davis) Statham 
of Lincoln Co., Georgia.  Barnet and Caroline lived in Greenville SC and 
eventually moved to Yalobusha County, Mississippi, where they were living as of 
the 1860 census.
