Seeking the name of William Martin Hammond born in NY 4 May 1815. died 27th day of April 1905 His early days were spent in the vicinity of Buffalo NY. his wife Almeda Henry and two children Francis Marion Hammond and Melville Henry Hammond are buried in NY. In 1877 he went to California and married Loretta Mann they had one daughter Pansy. In the papers of Paul Hammond, William is mentioned as being the son of Benoni Hammond by a second wife. Who is this second wife? When William Hammond was born Bernoni Hammond and Ruth Lobdell were married 1 May 1803 and Ruth died 17 Sep 1863. Perhaps Benoni Hammond (16 Feb 1784-24 Dec 1866) left a will that would clear up the matter of his son by a mysterious wife. Perhaps there is a birth record for William Martin Hammond listing William's mother and father. Was this mysterious wife from Canada? Benoni and Ruth had 13 children from 1803 to 1830 and my mysterious William Martin. Hammond was born in 1815, right in the middle of their marriage. Please can someone help me clear up this mystery of where William was born and his parents?. > [Original Message] > From: michael sandridge <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 4/1/2007 6:55:25 PM > Subject: [GENEALOGY-LOOKUP] ROLL CALL > > Lets do a Roll Call.
