O. Box 123 Columbus, Ga. 31902-0123 [contact [email protected] for price] Forward by Robert Scott Davis, Jr. "Louise `Biddy' Barfield Hammett sets out to explore ground where traditional scholarship has yet to fully go and through family history. All Americans have had great adventures in their times, and the further from our own experiences, the greater the interest and the more complicated the tale. While few people have ancestors who merit county names or monuments, all of them contributed to what our nation has become and all of them had exciting and interesting stories to tell. "Unfortunately, more often our kinsmen failed to hand down to us any sort of personal written record of what they encountered and how they lived. To see their world, family historians like Biddy Hammett have to piece together fragmentary public records with a glue of general background historical studies. For Georgians and southerners, such a look at early America proves especially problematic because, despite the work of scholars like the late Dr. Edwin J. Cashin, much of our frontier history remains without solid published histories. "Come now and follow a family in the South as they travel from the last days of the colony of Georgia to the first decades of a new American nation." Edward Hammett came to America from Devonshire, England to settle at Martha's Vineyard and become the initial Massachusetts Bay Colony serge manufacturer. His descendants filtered through the colonies from Massachusetts, through New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia, ever migrating southward. Some went into Kentucky, others lingered in North Carolina and South Carolina, while others came into Georgia as I Indians began ceding land that opened the western frontier of Georgia. These people led the way for Georgia to join the Revolution against England A Hammett Family in Georgia History introduces the Virginia family of Robert and Sitha Bethel Hammett, as well as their individual neighbors. The Hammetts and their contemporaries brought their families into the region of Wilkes County, Georgia, around 1767 and staked out land, in the neighborhood of Kettle Creek, even before the land was ceded by the Muscogee-Creek Indians. MORE THAN 7 CHAPTERS OF HISTORY Full documentation presents Soldiers of the Revolution and affairs that took place in Georgia before and during the American Revolution Events come alive with evolving difficulties between State and Federal Governments. The independent nature of the old colonial guard of Georgia ardently fought Indians and British Tories to save their very lives. Some even rebelled against Federal controls. Some moved out to Mississippi Territory and into land acquired in the Louisiana Purchase. You may follow their trails and the continuing events of their lives. Copies of old maps of the region and a modern Kettle Creek neighborhood map place families and forts where the early Georgians lived with the text describing where their descendants migrated. Many Soldiers of the Revolution are documented, with information about Indian fights and battles where they fought and died. There were no weak spirits among those living at the Hornet's Nest of Wilkes County, Georgia. They fought all over Georgia, in South Carolina, North Carolina, and on the Florida border. The Battle at Kettle Creek was fought and won, in their own neighborhood, on the land of James Hammett. The Kettle Creek victory boosted morale and turned the tides of war in Georgia. These Patriots of the Revolution in Georgia became the progenators of the present generation which, in the Twenty-first Century, is scattered across the United States and Europe. 18 Chapters have documented genealogy intermingled with history.
