Anybody looking for info on what happened between Thomas L. Lamb and Mr. Pipkins this is what my brother and I have found out from our family reseach of Our great great grandfather Thomas L. Lamb. Our line is with his second wife (we are from Alabama) this info came from the family of his first wife who are in Georgia. The following was sent to my by a relative:
There are too versions of the"story" in our family: (1) Mr. Pipkins was beating a crippled man; or (2) was beating a crippled black man; in either case Thomas Lamb intervened resulting in the death of Pipkins. Thomas Lamb, (my wife's great great grandfather) fled Georgia and turned up in Alabama where he remarried and reared another family. My wife is descended from Thomas through one of his two Georgia sons, (by his first wife Matilda Roberts) Augustus Franklin Lamb. The other son was William (Bill) Lamb. As you might gather from the tenor of this note, our forefathers have taught us that the death of Pipkins was not murder but justifiable homicide. Good ancestor hunting to you.!
If anyone has heard anything different please feel free to email me I would like the hear any other versions of the story.
