From the Oscar Doane Lambert Book: The eldes son of Matthias Lambert, George Lambert, had migrated a few miles away from the homestead into Frederick County, Maryland. There on teh headwater of Antiertam Creek, February 17, 1744, he took up a farm. The new farm he named Lambert's Park, which contained two hundred acres.

Later the owner divided his land into lots which indicated that he anticipated a town be built there. This was the period when the first settlers began to arrive in that region. In the title it is designated that Lambert's Park was more definitely located on "The North side of a branch of Antietam near the mouth of a run that comes from Capt. Charltons and falls into the aforesaid branch and running thence South," etc.

The limestone foundation still remains of the first residence. There is also a gravestone with the inscription "Heir Liegt Eva Lambert und ihre Fochter. War alt 59 Jar." (Here lies Eva Lambert and her daughter. She was 59 years). The German inscription betrays the nationality of the family who perhaps at that time could not speak or write English.
