I'm trying to nail down this CDV of one of my ancestors that has the caption "Lt. D Lamb." This image is of the original CDV that I have here that's part of my grandmother's collection of old family photos. She lived in the little town of Marietta Ohio. My research has indicated that "David Lamb," born in Ohio in 1836, was the son of "Alvin Lamb," a colonel in the Mass. militia during the War of 1812. Alvin died in Noble County Ohio in 1846, so I'm pretty sure these two are father and son.
The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to find a complete roster of Company G 35th MO. I do know that the 35th MO was at Vicksburg during the siege/surrender. David Lamb died of disease in Memphis in 1863, I'm assuming from getting sick in some fashion, his body was returned to Missouri and interred. The 35th Missouri Company G hailed from Gentry County.
Any help with my endeavor to identify my CDV of "Lt. D Lamb" and his association with Company G 35th MO would be greatly appreciated!! I found another "David A. Lamb" that was with the 73rd Ohio, but I don't think it's the same person because the birth and death dates don't match.
