Middleton FANNING
Historical information in notes From "And then along came the Fannings": The only proof we have of Middleton and Delphia's children is a letter written by John Isbell Lamb as follows. Mr Lamb died in 1927 at the age of 97 almost 98: Our family as far back as I can remember, and as I have been told be older members of the family. This the 5th day of September, AD 1923. The Lambs came from England, and grandmother came from Germany, and the Grahams came from Catalonia (Nova Scotia). My Grandmother's name was Pennington. They all settled in Surrey County, North Carolina, before the Revolutionary War (1775-1783), and settled on the Shadbury River, then the Lambs and Grahams migrated to North Alabama, in Jackson County, on Paint Rock River... Concerning Uncle Jesse Graham's family: He married a Fannin, and there was of the Fannin family 5 boys and 2 girls. Martha, uncle Jesse's wife, and aunt Sallie Hill. The boys were Mike (Middleton?), Ben, Thomas, Buck (William?), and Him (James). Old Granny Fannin: I don't know her original name, nor her inherited nationality. She was said to be over a hundred years old. The Fannin family all lived in Franklin County, Tennessee. It is said that the Fannin of the Goliad Massacre in the Texas War was of this family, I don't know. The marriage of Uncle Jesse Graham's children: Emaline married Joe Blackwell, Jackson married a Kinzy, Martha married Jim Manning, Jesse married a Griffith, My brother, Joe (Josiah) married Sarah Elizabeth Blackwell, Peter Blackwell's daughter. There was of the Blackwell family; Silvester, Joe, Joe, Jeff, Ben, Sarah, and Rebecca. That is all that I can think of now. Your Truly John Isbell Lamb.
