I'm looking for any descendants and researchers of William Mosely Lambert and Martha Jane Cantrell and their children. Their vital information is documented in the 1880 census in Prentiss Co., Mississippi, and in a Bible passed down through the family of their son, Floyd Devine Lambert. If you know anything about William Mosely Lambert's ancestors or descendants, please let me know. Thank you.

The 1880 census record from Prentiss Co., Mississippi, shows:

W. M. Lambert, 47 [abt. 1833], Head of household, Farm Laborer, Alabama (Father: Tennessee, Mother: Georgia)
Martha J. Lambert, 30 [abt. 1850], wife, Alabama (Father: South Carolina, Mother: Alabama)
John M. Lambert, 10, son, Alabama
Louella Lambert, 7, daughter, Mississippi
Homer Lambert, 6, son, Mississippi
Louise V. Lamert, 5, daughter, Mississippi
Virgil C. Lambert, 3, son, Mississippi
Cornell M. Lambert, 3/12 mo. old son, Mississippi
