Thanks Elizabeth, I love a good party as much as any Hamrick and we sure had a fun weekend, it was so unique too because this group had never all come together before and by the end of the weekend we were hugging and acting like old family~something special occured and some folks started to ask how to look for family documents etc. WOW! As for the wine I saw a few ordering bottles at the banquet and they looked like they were enjoying! Since I fall anyway I refrained! :-) I recommend to all, plan that reunion you have always wanted to do asap~it was easy and truly worth the effort. Hamrick's are happening!!!

Hi! I am back in Maui now and here's the report of my Calif Hamrick reunion~ The family reunion portion of the trip was awesome! The Aparaicio's were fantastic! We saw all of the old homestead and they had copies of deeds, the property has only been Hamrick then Aparicio, I saw the wagon ruts from a distance, the old doors from the orginial home and the locust trees Hamrick's planted, I got a rock to bring home, quartz. The old plank bridge is still there, part of the original Hamrick Toll Road. I nearly did a nose dive, down a hill in the scooter I was riding, I wished I felt better during the weekend, it was tough. The banquet was fun, my neice played mc and got lots of folks to talk. My sis Judi matched up folks who looked alike and had them stand up, I talked about beginning a genealogical search. folks seemed to like my 257 page book. We got there late on Friday cause my other sister Janet was in a 5 car pile up near Crockett, 30 minutes after she landed from Honolulu on the night before so everything we had to do got pushed back by hours. She was the only one to walk away, no one was terribly hurt. The Amador Ledger Dispatch published an article written by Larry Cenotto about the reunion Aug 12 and a couple came to the picnic on Sunday, descendants of one of the lines I did not have a contact for Lavina Hamrick Dillian, that was great! I wished Larry had come to part of the reunion! Our Friday-Sunday reunion was the right length, any longer would not of been good, the Gold Rush Living History Alliance was amazing on Sunday morning, their talk and artifacts tremendous and my son loved standing in Jackson Creek panning, the children found several flakes of gold! The Amador Museum on Saturday was great, perfect for a meet and greet. Bob Davis of the Ione Mason's gave us Jesse's history and I got to see original documents! One of the stars of the weekend was my third cousin Eldon Hamrcik 84 years young, the happiest man I have seen in a long time, he lived on the homestead as a child and worked all the areas mines, his wonderful stories and memories very rich. I found out from him that when he was a youngster the toll was 25 cents on the toll road, and that when Jesse Hamrick first arrived in Amador and settled in Jackson Valley he built a three story house that was there when Eldon was alive, later that old house was gone. After the Arroyo Seco fiasco and Jesse was forced to move or pay for the land he had already settled, they moved to NY Ranch where the Aparicio's live now. I got a copy of the homestead certificate from the Aparicio's. Eldon said he thought they traded land? The reunion was a sucess and we made plans to do it again in 2000, for the sesqucentennial of the Hamrick's overland trail crossing and arrival in Amador! The Alliance may help with a camp! The most amazing thing is that this family got together! many who had not seen each other in years, others that never met before, we had descendants from 7 of the 11 children of our pioneer couple. This project happened fast too, just last year was when I began this descendants project, after finding my cousins book and adding to it by hundreds of names. There were at least 100 people at the various activites, maybe more, hard to tell cause they came and went I got to talk to alot of folks, wish I had more time with some tho. I hope folks will send me copies of the photos and videos, and will remind me who exactly needs more copies of the book, I did 65 copies and we ran out! I also need current addresses for EVERYONE who came AND I FAILED TO GET THEM. Help? I heard alot of nice comments from so many people, I hope everyone will send me more of their memories and also material for the 3rd edition, to be produced for the 150th anniversary of Hamrick's CA arrival and the year 2000 reunion to be arranged, I want to hear ideas for it! I had a great time and need a nap. <3 Jilly -------- ~aloha~ from jill in maui http://www.maui.net/~mauifun/genweb.htm

Hi, Just wanted to know, did you write that Charles is a son of Patrick Hamrick , Jr? I haven't seen his name before. My John Hamrick is the Son of Patrick Hamrick Jr. also and did not know there were more sons. Let me know. Thank you, Char

There were some Hambricks buried in Davidson, OK. They must be related to the one who relocated to Dallas Co, TX from TN. Another bunch of Hamrick people moved out to the area of Abilene and Rotan, TX but they are not the same as from Dallas Co.

Zia, What makes you think your line is unknown? You do have one of the more difficult lines to prove, but it is not totally unknown. You are not the only person who has tried tracing the line although I must admit I haven't seen anyone asking about Sarah Hensley in a long time. Keep the faith and you might be surprised what you can learn. I was not aware that Sarah had moved to Illinois although I did know she moved to Texas even if I can't remember what county. Steven A.

Zia, I am curious. I have abstracts of what I thought was all the HAMRICK/HAMBRICK names found on the 1860 Illinois census, and I find no HAMRICK/HAMBRICK in Greene County, Illinois. If you have found HAMRICK/HAMBRICKs on the 1850 or 1860 Illinois census from the part of Illinois, would you post the information to the list so others can see it. Thanks... every little piece helps.

Made a mistake about the state...My Hamrick-Crowell family was from Wayne, Lawrence and Lewis Counties of TENNESSEE and moved to Illinois during the Civil War and moved back to TN before moving to Texas 1874. Zia in TX

Your message is interesting and sound like of the family but I really can't tell you anything. I can tell you that the Crowell family moved from Lewis and Wayne COs, TX to Green County, Ill in the 1850 - 1860s. With them were many other families including Hamrick/Hambrick folks. This is a German name and the 'b' is pronounced but not spelled in the name. It is spelled Hamric, and Hambrick. I believe that you could bank on the idea that it was spelled differently back when. I am going to forward you message to a cousin who has the date base for the Crowell family and see if she has a Ben.

There are many spellings: Hambrick, Hamrick, Hamric, all in the same family. The name when German is pronounced with a 'b' even when spelled without the 'b'. Whatever, we are still all the same if originating in PA to NC to TN...

Mary, At least you have some names, your lucky. My line is from an unknown Hamrick/Hambrick in Lawrence Co, TN in the 1830s. -------Hamrick and Sarah Hensley has several children including Margaret Hamrick who married J.W. Crowell in Lewis Co, TN in 1868. They are my great grandparents. My hope is in the Internet because years of research as produced little. These people did not leave much paper trail except many names in the court's records but I still don't know which man is the Hamrick who fathered my Margaret.

Hello, I saw your letter to Mary. I am researching HAMBICK. Your letter spurred something. Our line stops with Frank (Thomas Francis) HAMBICK who was born abt. 1875 and married Emma Nelson in 1878--THEIR marriage certificate shows Frank was born in Illinois. From what we've been able to gather he had a sister "Mary" (married a Crowell) (could have been Margaret) and two brothers Oscar and Joe. My great Aunt remembers visiting Mary and says her husband's name was Ben Crowell she thought they lived in Illinois but she was a child at the time. They thought their uncle "JOE" moved to New Orleans and she remembered getting packages and thinking he worked for the postal service. Oscar was either a detective or a murderer. I have been unable to locate any parents for Frank HAMBICK it is said his father died in the "war"... All his children and their children spell the name "HAMBICK" and besides them I haven't been able to locate any other person on this planet with the sur name HAMBICK. I have a picture (the only known photograph of Frank) on my website in hopes someone would recognize him or feel their family looked like him. They remember he would "go off" for long periods of time--maybe he had another family? If you'd like to see the picture the web address is: http://home.mci2000.com/[email protected]/ There is also a missing Clyde HAMBICK born 1922. Also Franks siblings: Joe, Mary and Oscar HAMBICK (born approx.. 1870s) who we have been unable to locate any trace.
