While doing some family history research, I came across your entry on the Anderson Lamb boys rifle. My gggrandfather was Jesse Lamb was a gunsmith who migrated from Guilford County to Georgia in the 1840s. You seem to know quite a bit about the family, so I thought I’d see if you know anything about any of the family moving to Georgia. Grandpa Jesse set up shop in Covington, Newton County, Georgia, which is a little east of Atlanta. He made guns for the Confederacy in Atlanta. His guns bear the motif of a heart on the stock.
Any information that you can provide would be wonderful.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Yours truly,
