This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hamrick, Sims Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hd.2ADE/863.1.1 Message Board Post: James Martin Hamrick wrote a journal which was published in 2001 on this site: http://www.thecitizen.com/archive/finding%20your%20folks/findingyourfolks01_02.html (If that breaks up be sure to take out any spaces or squiggles. There is an underline between the 01 and 02 which you can't see because the link is underlined.) Scroll down to July 20, 2001. The articles were spread over several weeks. James was born in 1838 in Meriwether (which is adjacent to Pike), moved to Troup, then to Carroll County, GA. Sounds like he may have been the son of this James and Vianna Sims Hamrick. Hope this helps. If anyone has trouble with the link, contact me privately at [email protected] Judy K in Newnan, GA
