Benjamin was the 10th of 12th children born to Capt. Joshua and Betsy Sweetland Lamb. He was born in Lincolnville.

On Nov. 10, 1839, at Searsmont, Benjamin married 17 year old Mary Jane Donnell. They lived in Searsmont and had four of their seven children. In the late 1840's or very early 1850's, Benjamin was appointed as a Lime Inspector by the City of Rockland. He and Mary Jane, along with their four children (approx. ages 10, 8, 7 and 4) moved to Rockland. Their home was moved from Searsmont by ox-team. In August of 1851 Benjamin and Mary Jane's fifth child (my great grandfather), Adelbert Lamb was born in Rockland. Subsequent to the move to Rockland, two additional children were born.
