The LAMB and CHEW families were attracted by the William Penn offer of vast farmland to help settle western New Jersey. Their migratiions to rich neighboring acreage in Gloucester County, NJ, occurred at different times.
 John CHEW (1587-1668) of Lancashire, England settled in Jamestowne, VA approximately 1618.  His son John (1616-1672) relocated to farm in Flushing, Long Island, NY, from where  Nathaniel (1678-1731) and family moved to land above the north branch of the Great Mantua Creek in Gloucester County about 1697.
 About 1818, the LAMB family of Daniel (1791-1867) and Catherine Wallace Lamb (1789-1871) migrated from Wigan, England, to Barnsboro, Gloucester County.
A CHEW name became LAMB at Pittston, NJ October 1, 1857 when Rachel Chew (1845-1925) wed Daniel L. Lamb (1835-1909) |
