Pat, I have been waging a uphill battle against S C Jones' version of the Hamrick genealogy for several years. Not that I am the only person who feels that way but I have more time on line than most so write the most prolific. When I first started there was only Steve Bridges beside myself that had any web space that was not devoted to the Emigrant Hans Georg and Moses Richard. Currently there are about six sites that give credit to the emigrant Patrick Sr. Unfortunately Steve no longer has his excellent site on the net. For a long time when ever someone mentioned a statement made by S C I assumed it was incorrect and so said. Several of my friends chided me that S C really had made a great contribution to Hamrick genealogy. He collected oral genealogy histories which would have become lost without his efforts. I can throw stones at his work but without his years of work, I would not have anything to throw at. It would have been nicer if S C had documented his data but his sources, oral histories, did not provide any so all he had was the "Begets" similar to the genealogy offered in the Bible. Moses in writing the Bible did the same but had better inspiration. Unfortunately the Hamrick's in Rutherford Cleveland, North Carolina felt like his book was also divinely inspired and still to this day is revered. A few local converts will not discuss Hamrick genealogy prior to 1840 with the "Old Guard" of the Broad River or Old Tyrone Genealogical societies. I am sorry you have become involved in this and wasted your valuable time in something my cousin caused. It was a local problem just in North Carolina until people started picking up on it and applying it to Hamrick's in other areas of the country. It did not bother S C that he reported three brothers Benjamin, Charles, and Robert born in Ireland and two first cousins Samuel and Mary from Germany as the early Hamricks. Samuel was the son of James, Mary was the daughter of Robert, and Benjamin, Charles, and Robert were sons of Patrick Jr who were all grand children of Patrick Sr of Ireland. In an effort to explain some of S C's errors I told persons that he had made a mistake in names. Hans Georg should have been named Patrick Sr and his son Moses Richard should have been names James. Actually James was the Father or Grandfather of all the Hamricks in North Carolina with the exception of Mary. It is my own private theory that S C's Hamrick mother was the origin of the aberrant Hamrick genealogy. He said she told him fascinating tales of his forefathers and that was what perked his interest in genealogy. I think she had an interested listener and like gost stories around a camp fire, they expand to meet the desires of the audience and what son would check on the veracity of genealogy told by his mother?

Where did that come from? Where is the "proof" - or documentation - or evidence - that shows that 'Moses Richard' is a nickname for 'James?' Or that the German (or Sweedish or Dutch) 'Hans' is a nickname for the English 'Patrick'? This has me terribly confused. I just spent about 30 minutes checking the 36,000+ names in my data base. I've found a lot of nicknames for James - normally Jim, Jimmy, Jimmie, Jemmy, Jas., Jamey, even Josh and on rare occasions Jack. But Moses??? For one James I have a 'Nat' as a nickname, but there's a good chance this was based on his middle name of Nathaniel. And I have a Lonnie for one James, but his middle name was Alonzo. And I do have a Bud and a Bo - hey, my relatives are in the South, what can I say? I have a Slash for James Caleb - and I don't think I want to know where that nickname came from. I have a Buck for James Christopher Buchanan PARSON. And I have three J. C.s - for James Carroll SUTTON, James Columbus BLACKMON and James Columbus HAMRICK. James Curtis BAILEY, Jr. is Jake as is James Herman HAMRICK. I have a James H. DICKEY who went as HAMP, and a James Kennard who went as Ken. I have a James Leonard WHITE who was called Doc (he was a 7th son), and a James Lester McKANEY who went by Cotton. James Lester Buford HARDIMAN was called Bute. James Thomas HAMRICK was called Tom. And my niece's husband is James Warren SEEGERS whom we all call Jay. Nowhere in my data base do I find a single Moses called James! I did a reverse check on the name Moses and didn't find a single nickname. The Richards in my data base that have nicknames use Dick, Dickie, Rick, Ricky, Rickey, and Lonnie; not a single Richard went as James (to include Richard James who went as Dick). The 4 Hans in my data base were all from Germany, and none of them had an American nickname of Patrick. And none of the Patricks in my data base had a nickname of Hans. So, where do I need to look to find Moses Richard as a nickname for James? And Hans as a nickname for Patrick? (Or James a nickname for Moses Richard/Patrick a nickname for Hans?)

Actually, Randolph County once extended almost to Webster Springs in Webster, and it did include a portion of the original Hamrick homestead near Bergoo. dhamrick@neo.rr.com Dan Hamrick 402 23rd Street NW Canton OH 44709 Phone: 1-330-454-2376 Cell: 1-330-284-1913 ---------- >From: "AUTUMN L KRUER" <AutumnK@prodigy.net> >To: HAMRICK-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [HAMRICK-L] Re: Randolph Co VA 1850 >Date: Sun, Oct 10, 1999, 7:20 PM > >Thanks for the Randolph Co., VA list, Tressie.

Thanks for the Randolph Co., VA list, Tressie. When I first started, it took me awhile to figure out my Hamricks were up the Elk River in Randolph Co. and not Webster. This kind of information is very helpful to people researching their line. Autumn

Tressie: thanks for posting all the wonderful info. In looking at some of your latest postings I noticed that you had listed all the people in the Thomas B. Hamrick household in the GA census of 1850. This pretty much follows what I have and clarifies some of the confusion about all the children but what was Sarah's last name (22 NC)??? It is my understanding that the only children of T.B. and Udoxy were William, John T., and Harry B., so can we guess that Sarah was T.B.'s from his first wife? And do you have any info on the illusive 1st wife? Thanks again, Ginger Hamrick Crawford

Betty, Thank you very much for the Harrison Hamrick Biography. I think everyone should write a biography on one or more of their Ham(b)rick ancestors and share them with us. I noted this item in the column next to a picture. Ca 1903 HARRISON HAMRICK Pioneer settler Harrison Hamrick assessor of Wyanet, is one of the oldest settlers in Bureau County, Illinois having landed at Center Grove east of Wyanet in 1841, near the county farm and has lived continuously in the same vicinity ever since, and has followed the vocation of a farmer all of these years. During this time Mr. Hamrick has not only been a good citizen, active and public-spirited, ready not only to develop the country but anxious about the public welfare at all times. Mr. Hamrick is now living retired with his daughter, three miles southeast of town, and is the present assessor of the township and has filed sic. several offices of public trust. Betty

Tressie - Thank you ! I appreciate the time you have spent posting census information as well as the wealth of knowledge you share. Kim

I have seen you post a lot of things an am curious about something perhaps you have the answer to. An LDS film #0567464 Tax rolls and Fiduciary Records 1870-1921 has a record Sworn to before me, Josiah Hamrick a Justice for the County of Clay on the 11 day of June 1859 then at the bottom it mentions Bing. Hamrick (something) C.C. Campbell Sheriff of Clay County. I took this into my records as Bing, but after browseing here I suppose this is the Benjamin and I have Bing all wrong? I see that a W. T. Hamrick was a county clerk of Clay County. I am also interested in Sizemore(s) and Morton(s) in same said county and on page 105-106 there is an Official Bond including all of these names. Some of it is difficult to read. So who is W. T. Hamrick? Do you know anything about some of the rest mentioned only by their initials? On pages 23-24 is an Oscar and Emerson Hamrick but again I could not read most of the document. Someplace too, I found but seem to have lost the copy I made, of a Hamrick who had posted a bond to operate a Ferry. Can you tell me who that was? Thanks!
