The Charles Lambert Legacy begins with John Lupton 
and his common law wife, Elizabeth Lambert:

1.  John Lupton  B: 20 April 1718, Kirkdeighton, England
            Elizabeth Lambert  B: 21 June 1736  
            John and Elizabeth, who were second cousins, fell in love and made plans to marry.  However, English law of the time forbade marriage between relatives.  The couple petitioned for an exception, but were turned down.  They decided to live together as though they were married.  As a result, the Church of England considered them outcasts and non-Christians, never recognizing their marriage.  The children took on their mother's maiden name and their posterity followed suit.  Thus, our family name today is Lambert instead of Lupton.  (click on Elizabeth Lambert above to read a more complete account of their story.)

The Luptons and the Lamberts attended All Saints Church in Kirk Deighton
(the church steeple is just visible at the end of the street)

Charles (3)

Master stone mason, temple builder (Nauvoo).
Charles bought the stone with his own meager funds, carved the
"capital" (sunstone) on his own time and donated it to the temple project.
  It was placed on the South East or "Joseph's Corner".
It is to the far right in this photo.  (click here to read the account)

Charles John Lambert family at their home on 3100 South, Granger, Utah
(Lilly, his first wife, is seated to his right and "Aunt Mary", his second wife, is to his left.  This photo was taken near the turn of the century.  The federal Edmund-Tucker Act of 1887 had outlawed polygamy.  Even though the LDS Church discontinued the practice of plural marriage after 1887, some LDS families continued in polygamy, or "celestial marriage" for a time.)

Charles Druce (in a coat and tie, fourth from the left in the back row) was the only surviving son.  His brother, Joseph (17 years his junior), was killed during the First World War and another brother was stillborn.

Memories of Margaret Woodbury and Charles D Lambert by Lurena Eldredge Warnick, daughter of Julia Lambert Eldredge, one of Charles John Lambert's sisters.  She describes her visits to the Charles John home and her memories of Charles Druce and his first wife, Margaret Woodbury Lambert.

Margaret Woodbury's paternal grandmother was Ann Cannon Woodbury, sister to George Q Cannon and Mary Alice Cannon Lambert.  Ann Cannon was one of the pioneers to enter the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.  In the famous Jubilee photo taken in 1897 on Temple Square of the 1847 pioneers, Ann is number 175.  View the unnumbered photo.  Notice that the 1847 pioneers are wearing gold tiffany pins with their names engraved on the back.
