"John Lammon was a very tall person, about a foot taller than his twin brother, Daniel. John was a farmer. He was also a very crafty person in the sense that he could make anything with his hands. He made baskets, big cotton baskets for farmers. He trimmed out handles for hammers, axes, picks, hoes, etc., and did a lot of woodwork. Even before he started on a woodworking project he could visualize the end product. He was a very kind and loveable man, and dearly loved his grandchildren." -- John Allen Byrd

John married Betty Tabitha Myers. Betty was born in 1856 in Ozark, Alabama; died on 25 Jul 1921; was buried in Enterprise, Coffee, Alabama. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
