    William Lamme (1710-1797) had a grandson named William T. Lamme (1777-1840). William T. Lamme was a ranger in Nathan Boone's (Daniel Boone's son) troops. During 1802, William T. Lamme and Nathan Boone captured 900 beavers, whose skins they sold at $2.50 each. Boone suffered a considerable loss when Indians found and looted a cache of one hundred pelts. The Indians were troublesome and Daniel and Nathan Boone were obliged twice with their families to race four miles in the night to the strong fort where Daniel Morgan Boone Jr. (Daniel Boone’s son) made his home to escape the ferocity of the savages. William T. Lamme married Daniel Boone’s granddaughter, Frances Callaway (Daniel Boone’s daughter Jemima and husband Flanders Callaway’s daughter). In 1n 1829, William T. Lamme returned to Kentucky and purchased the homestead farm and mill. He had contracted rheumatism in the West and preferred mercantile pursuits to farming. He died in 1838. Frances Callaway Lamme was born in 1785 in Kentucky and died in 1856.
