General Notes: Husband - Archibald Lamont

---

He was of Scottish birth. It appears that he landed first at New Orleans, and was a ship captain by occupation. The first direct information of him is contained in a letter which he wrote in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, January 3, 1794, written to his brother, and in which he gives a very pathetic account of having lost his wife and youngest son, a sister and a friend whom he calls "Robert." All died within a few hours of each other, October 17, 1793. He adds: "I cannot give you a description of my situation on that morning when I had three corpses in my home and not one mortal to give assistance." He further stated that the plague had carried off five thousand of the best people. It is believed from this communication that he was a consistent Christian man. Nothing is known of his wife. It is known that they had five children who reached manhood and womanhood.
