The first member of the Lambing family to come to America was Christopher, who arrived on the ship Edenburg on September 15, 1749. Over his father's objections, he left his father's employment and emigrated with his wife and two children from Alsace (Paults or Peltz), a few miles south of the city of Strasburg, to the rocky, damp region of Nockamixon Township in Bucks County, known as "the swamps," 70 miles north of Philadelphia. There is no record of the name of Christopher's first wife. They had five children.
The marriage register of the old German church at Goshenhoppen, signed by Father John Baptist de Ritter, S.J., shows that Christopher married a second time. "1766, 9th May, in the church at Goshenhoppen mission, I joined Christopher Lambing, widower, to Miss Mary Ann Wanner." They were the parents of six children.
