JOHN
LAMBRIGHT was born in Frederick City, Maryland, January,
1778. In 1802 he married Anna C. Smith, and in 1811,
removed to Harrison county, Ohio, and in the spring of 1812,
located in Mifflin township, Richland, now Ashland county.
In the fall of 1812, the cabin of Frederick Zimmer, a
neighbor, was attacked by the Indians, and the son of Mr.
Zimmer hastened to inform James Copus and Mr.
Lambright of their presence, and the desire of Martin
Ruffner and the Zimmers for their assistance. Messrs.
Copus and Lambright hastened to the cabin, and arrived
in the earlier part of the night, finding all silent in and about
the premises. They returned to their respective cabins took
their families and fled to the blockhouse of Jacob Beam, on
the Rocky fork. Here he remained three weeks, and fled to
Lancaster, Fairfield county, Ohio. While there, Mr.
Lambright was drafted, and served in the northwest about four
months. He and his family remained near Lancaster three
years, and then returned to his deserted cabin on the Black fork,
where he continued to reside until November 9, 1832, when he
deceased. Some members of his family yet reside in the
township. Mrs. Joseph Doty is a daughter.
For a full description of the Ruffner Zimmer,
and Copus fights, and the part Mr. Lambright took,
