Jonathan Lambert Genealogy

11. JONATHAN LAMBERT was born Dec. 23, 1669.

He was a ship-master in Boston, and married, it would seem, Elizabeth, said to have been the daughter of George Deane of Salem and his wife Elizabeth, but as stated above in notes on Ezekiel Lambert, it appears more likely that she was the daughter of Thomas Deane. Elizabeth Lambert, probably the widow of Jonathan Lambert, married Dec. 5, 1710, in Boston, John Bucanan.

May 15, 1711, Daniel Bacon, jr., of Salem, shipwright, gave bond for the guardianship of Daniel Bacon's kinsman, Jonathan Lambert, a minor, upwards of four years, son of Jonathan Lambert, mariner, of Boston, and Jan. 12, 1718/19, being then aged 22, Jonathan releases him.

The inventory of Capt. Jonathan Lambert, mariner, was presented Jan. 30, 1710, at Boston, by Elizabeth, his widow and administratrix, who in an account Oct. 31, 1717, is called Elizabeth Bucanan, late Lambert. Jonathan therefore died about 1710.

In the Essex Institute Historical Collections, vol. 12, p. 281, it is stated that probably Jonathan and Benjamin Lambert of Boston were children of Jonathan and Elizabeth Lambert, though there is contradictory evidence, as among the heirs of Mrs. Elizabeth Deane in 1706, Elizabeth Lambert's name does not appear; but her son Jonathan seems to have inherited her portion. Nevertheless, in the Boston vital records, the births of the two sons are given as the children of Jonathan and Elizabeth Lambert.
