  4. ↑ "Peggy", as she was known, was only sixteen when she left Maryland with her family for the new state of Indiana. The following spring she ran away with a man ten years her senior, Thomas Lambertson. The reason for the elopement is still a mystery. They rode the same horse to Thomas' sister's home four miles away and were wed there. Their marriage was the first in Sparta Township, Dearborn County, Indiana, and the first birth and first death took place at the same residence. Peggy was the mother of five daughters and five sons, all of whom lived to maturity and gave their mother 72 grandchildren.
    In 1843 the Lambertsons, Johnsons and others removed to what later became Jackson County, Iowa. It was from here that one of her sons-in-law went to California in the gold rush, and that two of her sons went off to battle during the Civil War. After her husband was killed in 1863, Peggy took in and helped raise a local girl who was evidently an orphan. In the 1870's she followed five of her children to Kansas, where she lived out her last days. W. P. Lambertson was the last grandchild she ever rocked.
