Hi Falkyrn:
The church was in Dernagrew
I came across this item:
ORIGINS OF THE LAMB FAMILY
Samuel Lamb's native home was near Dunagrue (modern Dernagrew) Tydavnet Parish, Co. Monaghan, Ireland, near Lamb's Lake. Maps show Lamb's Lake, about one-fourth mile in diameter, about 2 miles north of the city of Monaghan, just north of Ballyalbany. The family had settled, it is said, through the good offices of an uncle, General William Lamb, who fought with King William in the conquest of Ireland and was rewarded with several Irish estates for his role in the Battle of the Boyne, in 1690. The family's ultimate home should be sought somewhere in the lowlands of Scotland.
Perhaps the Lamb family was associated with the Covenanter branch of the Presbyterian faith, as the first communion of that denomination ever held outside the British Isles took place at Stony Ridge in Cumberland County, PA, (where Samuel Lamb lived) on 23 August 1752 [3] with 250 persons in attendance.
Hope this helps,
Pat

Pat, this is super information. The Lamb family and I have been looking for years about any details of Samuel Lamb seniors activities and family in Ireland. Plus wondered about the naming of the lake. Got to go right now, but I intend to respond later in more detail!
