Sarah Elizabeth (Cantonwine) Lamb was the daughter of Jacob & Christena (Dilling/Dillon) Cantonwine and the granddaughter of Charles & Mary Cantonwine.

Charles, the patriarch of the Cantonwine family, immigrated to America from Prussia in 1806, arriving in Philadelphia, Penn., aboard the ship Orlando. The ship's passenger list shows "Chr. Kuntentwine, single man." The name Kuntentwine later evolved to Cantonwine, and Charles appears to be the only surnamed Kuntenwine/Cantonwine to immigrate to America. Eight or so years after his arrival in Philadelphia, in about 1814, Charles married Mary Magdalena Scholl, daughter of Charles Jacob & Margaret (Fuhr) Scholl, in Bedford county, Pennsylvania


CANON CITY [FREMONT CO., CO], DECEMBER 5, 1919
WIFE OF VETERAN INDIAN FIGHTER DIES IN FREMONT COUNTY: Death of Mrs. [Sarah] Elizabeth Lamb Removed One of Few Remaining Pioneers of State; Came Here With Ox Team
Cañon City, Colo., Dec. 5--

The death of Mrs. [Sarah] Elizabeth Lamb yesterday at her home near Cotopaxi in Fremont county, thirty-five miles west of Cañon City, removes one of the few remaining pioneers who came to Colorado in the days of the ox-team prairie schooner and hostile Indians. She crossed the plains at the age of 18 with her father, Jacob Cantonwine, and settled in Browns Canon near Nathrop, Colo., where she was married to Joseph Milton Lamb about fifty years ago [married in Texas Creek, Fremont, CO]. With her husband she spent the remainder of her life in Fremont and Custer counties. Her husband, Joseph M. Lamb, died June 3 [June 1], 1919, at the age of 83 years. He was accounted one of Colorado's most famous hunters and Indian fighters. Lamb fought thru the Civil War in the Union army, but after the war returned to Colorado and was prominent in the pioneer days of the Upper Arkansas valley. Perhaps his most notable deed was the slaying of the leader of the notorious Espinosia [Espinosa] gang that spread terror thru southern Colorado a half century ago by a series of cold-blooded murders in which nearly fifty settlers lost their lives. Mrs. Lamb shared with her husband all the hardships and dangers of pioneer life and reared a large family, eight of whom, four sons and four daughters, survive. They are: Charles A. Lamb and John A. Lamb of Cotopaxi, Capt. William A. Lamb of Helena, Mont., Frank R. Lamb of Fremont county, Mrs. Earl McGlothlin [Flora Etta] of Denver, Mrs. Charles N. Adams [Martha Audrey] of Nevada, and Misses Ida and Cora Lamb of Cotopaxi.
