He died in Wellington Shropshire having married Naomi Leek , but had connections with Bilston, Staffordshire. In the early 1800s George Hammonds of Dawley Shropshire married Keziah Blocksidge. I believe some of Keziah's sisters emigrated to USA - the Blocksidges. Hope someone can fill in my gaps !! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
