I missed this question:

> But there was a Lambert the father. Why doesn't he show up anywhere? He was living in MD.

Here is why this family has been so hard to trace.

We have nearly proved that there was no Lambert, son of Lambert Veazey (the one said to have died ca 1893). That was Dr, James Lambert Veazey.

Dr, James Lambert Veazey's father, Lambert, b. 1777, married in 1804. Lambert's father (John Ward Veazey) appears in the 1790 census. John Ward Veazey died 1797; the widow and younger members of the large family he left may have lived with one of the relatives, or simply do not appear in the index to the 1800 census. In 1810, the widow Mary Veazey appears in census. She has two adult males and three adult females --presumably herself, with some of her children and perhaps spouses, although at this time, there are no young children listed in this household.

One Lambert Veazey appears in Kent County, Maryland in the 1810 census, but he has four boys, no girls, so unless Harriet E. (b. 1805), Augusta (1806), and Sarah (1808) were mistakenly enumerated as boys, I think he is someone other than the one we are discussing here.
It would be interesting to learn where the apparently repeating name 'Lambert' came from.

Our subject Lambert Veazey and wife do not appear in the 1810 census. Possibly Lambert is one of the adult males living with Mary Veazey in 1810. He died 1814, so his name will not appear on census after this. It would be interesting to learn where his widow and children lived.
