The actual history for this family is not known. According to previously published materials, Nicholas Lambrecht was born 1741 in Flanders in what was then the Spanish Netherlands. Nicholas was probably a French Huguenot and therefore likely to ex-migrate from the predominantly Catholic Spanish Netherlands. Subsequently, Nicholas immigrated to Caroline Co VA sometime before 1762 where he Americanized the spelling of his surname to Lambright. And in 1762 in Caroline Co VA, Nicholas married Martha Coleman b. 1744 in Spotsylvania Co VA.

The first record for Nicholas is found in the Size Rolls for the Virginia Continental Line. In 6/1781, Nicholas enlisted at age forty and is cited as born in Pennsylvania and residing in Culpeper Co VA. Therefore, the previous information is dubious.

Reportedly, Nicholas and Martha lived the remainder of their lives in Caroline Co VA where Nicholas died in 1804.
