Welcome! This website celebrates the genealogy of the descendants of William and Mariah Lambert who were slaves on the plantation of John Walker Jones of Fayette County, Tennessee. William and Mariah “jumped the broom” around 1860 and went on to have 9 children — William H., John C., Edward, Robert, Alice, Dora, Martha, Nancy, and Junius.
To understand and reconnect with our stories, the stories of the ancestors, is to build our identities. – Frank Delaney
From across the ocean we came. We survived the voyage. We survived the bondage. We survived the oppression. We continue.
