"I have found a couple of discrepancies in your data. "Hiram Anderson Lambert, born 7 Mar 1838, died 6 Mar 1928 is actually buried at Silver Creek Cemetery in Randle,Lewis Co,WA NOT VA. He is my great great grandfather and is buried, with his wife, near several relatives including my parents and grandparents. "Also his son, William, had another daughter named Gladys Lambert born 26-Sep-04 in West Virginia, died 20-Nov-61 in Washington State. She is my grandmother. She married Frank Powers Sanders, Sr.They are both buried at Silver Creek Cemetery in Randle,Lewis Co,WA. They had 5 children together. All 5 have passed on. They were Margaret "Madge", Viola "Bo", Robert "Bill", Frank, Jr and Fred. All 5 children were born in West Virginia and the family moved to Lewis County, Washington State around 1934."
