J R & all: I the research I have (my cousin did it), he has record of Joseph, Patrick's son listed as Hambrick. I'd need to dig out the date from the pile o' stuff; but it was about 1750. There are some SC Hambrick's that descend from Joseph #1, so maybe it was him? Or a clerk with a not so good ear? Anybody have anything else? Also - There is a Hambrick Road in Charleston WV - named for my great-uncle's property at the top of the hill.

His wife Elizabeth Brown is also there along with his children and grandchildren. William Newton Hamrick os the son of Joel s/o Benjamin Sr s/o Patrick Sr. There is a lovely color photograph of the Cemetery and a list of all interred there with their dates. J R

J. R. is right. I found this site today and it has some very valuable information on West Virginia HAMRICKS' and others. It has a beautiful color picture in the beginning too. Thanks for passing this along J. R. Harle y

Thanks for the compliment, I think. It is true I haven't tried to get the book from either of those sources, since I already have it.

J R you are correct in the assumption that no fire appears to have ever touched the slave cabin. it is in perfect condition. sorry i was unable to get a photo of the wooden dowels that serve as nails. it you noticed the one picture does show the chemney and foundation or one home and the well you spoke of is where i was standing when the photo was taken. it has a rather large concrete slab over it. also the flag stone on the outside of the cemetary in in a large pile next it a tree. there were more be side the above mentioned home . also the top of the cemetary wall is concrete. glad you received the pictures. get well soon. mary

Hamricks, Sorry, I cannot spell eather. Should have been: http://www.cmpu.net/public/jmckinny but the other one worked and had the same data. I found a site which gave a Lieutenant Jacob Hamrick in service in 1781 in the Revolutionarey War. The pension applicant had been drafted Jan 1781. He went to Staunton to Charlottesville to New Kent to Suffolk to Portsmouth where he remained for three months and then discharged. He was under Col Sampson Matthews, LCol William Bowyer, Capt William Kinkhead, Lieut JACOB HAMRICK, Ensign Jonthan Humphries. The application was filed in Augusta, Co in 1832 which was the home of the applicant. I would think Jacob would be 30+ in 1780 and born in 1750+/-. I have no clue as to where Jacob fits into the Hamrick family. Anyone have any ideas? J R

Hamricks, I have seen several E-mail notes which seem to apply to the Hamrick Cemetery in Manassas but I did not see the question that was asked so this reply may be inappropriate. Some time back I reported that my Jones' cousin Pamela Jones Oester (also a cousin of S C) had visited the now Hamrick-Johnson Cemetery in Manassas and sent me pictures of the Cemetery and a audio tape describing the grounds and pictures she took. She had talked to Mrs Johnson who sold the Hamrick-Johnson farm to the Church and developers in 1990. Mrs Johnson said her family had retained the farm in their family since ca 1770 when it was sold by Patrick Jr to Rut Johnson. They expanded the Cemetery to include the Johnson family and now it is quite large. There is a wall about 3 feet high around it and built of field stone and mortar. The wall appears about two feet thick and is topped with what appears to be slate about two inches thick. The entrance gate has two about 5 feet pillars and a double hung metal gate which says: 'Clover Hill Farm Cemetery'. One pillar has a plaque that reads "Clover Hill Farm Cemetery; Hamrick 1770, Johnson 1770". The Johnson family had operated the Clover Hill Farm as a dairy and she sent Pam pictures of the farm before it was sold showing some old buildings and foundations. The Hamrick buildings had been burned in the Civil War. The well had been filled with stone during the War to remove it from the use of Union Soldiers. Some time ago I read a letter someone wrote about their visit to the Clover Hill Farm many years ago. They said there was evidence of about 6 Hamrick graves, none of which had headstones. They dug in the ground and found a flat rock which they presumed to be a headstone and it had no inscription. The writer was irritated that the fencing around plot was ineffective in keeping the cattle out that were eating the grass. (I thought that may have been better than a well fenced plot full of weeds and high grass.) In the pictures Mary sent me (Thank you Mary!) there was a picture of a corner post with an inscription which read "Perpetual Care by Grace Methodist Church". In talking to Pam, Mrs Johnson said there were several field stones that were not used in the cemetery and they were placed outside the cemetery back wall. (One may have belonged to Patrick) Still standing was a field stone building with a Chimney at both ends. This was the slave quarters. There were two doors and a wall inside that separated the two sides, each with a chimney and fireplace, for men and women slaves. The only thing burnable was the roof and any wood inside. The window frames of the building were built in the house wall mortared with the stone walls and do not show evidence of burning and the stone is unmarked by fire. There is a second story window at each end presuming there was a second story loft for sleeping. I tried to call Pam while I was writing this letter but they were not home. I did find out she has had an e-mail address [email protected] for about a month. I'm sure she would like to hear from anyone who has any questions about the Cemetery or what Mrs Johnson told her. I had a disk self distract several months ago and lost the ability to edit the Hamrick Web Page. I have in the past few days been able to access the page and put the corrections in that persons have sent me along with additional data. When anyone has time, the page has long download time, I would appreciate additional corrections and any additional data you wish to share. Data ia at: http://www.cmpunet.con/public/jmckinny and: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~hamrick Data should be identical at each site. If Pam tells me more, I will post an addendum. J R

I'm not sure if I have a copy of the entire book, but have at least parts. Tressie in OKC

Hi Harry and all, I have never seen the Mayme book, I understand a copy is in SLC though, some folks have a copy on this list~ I am glad to report the Overland Trail Journal of my Jesse's brother George Hamrick in 1863 has been located and when I can I will upload it to my sites. Their parents are Nimrod and Mariah (Adams) Hamrick. George joined his brother in California and kept a detailed journal, I will tell you this is an absolute treasure! The final entry is when he meets up with Jesse in CA and he states his brother, Jesse Calvert Hamrick, had been in CA since 1850. How was this located? A descendant of George FOUND me on the www thru my websites! Amazing! She had the journal, what a lift this is! She has transcribed it and sent me a copy. The journal includes the info that Geo's parents are part of the train. For my next big recent breakthru I found the ancestry of Jesse's wife, Elizabeth Wisdom Rhodes Hamrick, all the way back to 1600's, by posting my 100th query on the rhodes-L list, well maybe not 100th but I'll tell you tenacity counts! So to those who are stuck, set it aside awhile (just don't break both ankles) and pick it up again when you feel like it or feel a bit better.
