info from websithe of Greg Lambertson 'From History of Kent County, Chas. C. Chapman & Co., 1881 Theron LAMBERTSON, Spencer Twp., p. 1357 'Theron Lambertson was born in 1838; is son of Jacob and Betsey (Cramer) Lambertson, natives of New York, of Scotch and German descent. His parents settled in Oakland County in 1839, where Mr. L. obtained his education at the common schools. In 1854 he settled on sec. 17, in Spencer twp., and in 1858 was married to Amanda Brown. They had eight children, one of whom is the wife of William Hunter, a farmer on sec. 16, this twp. Mr. L. owns 200 acres of land; when he came here there were but 20 acres cleared in the town. He moved in on an Indian trail and cut a road through the woods. He is a Democrat; has been Commissioner of Highways five years and Twp. Treasurer four years. He was drafted in 1864 in Co. B., 3d Reg. MI, and was discharged the next year.'

Note from Greg Lambertson: Assuming Cramer is of German descent, this is evidence Jacob is of Scottish descent. However, this is far from conclusive.
