Brenda, the Hamrick Reunion held each August in Cleveland COUNTY, NC is near Shelby, NC (Shelby is about 40 miles west of Charlotte). The Cameron Street Hamrick homeplace is a log house built in the l700's where our ancestors lived. The house and grounds have been kept up. We have a picnic out in the country side. We usually have I50 or more people there. If you are interested I will send details later. Helen

Dear Jeanne, Martha (Patsy) MOZLEY was the daughter of Mary McDANIELS and Edward MOZLEY. She was the youngest of 10 children with siblings: James, Sarah, Edward, David, Catherine, John, Mary and Archibald. I descend from James. What is your source for dates of birth/death for John (1774-1836)? Benjamin married Margaret (Peggy) REDDICK on 4 Nov 1827 in Upson County, GA (source: Upson County marriage register). Catherine married James CROWDER on 1 Sep 1823 in Jones County, GA (source: Jones County marriage records). Catherine had died before her father, John, in 1836; she had a granddaughter who married Anthony TURNIPSEED, but I haven't been able to find any additional information or documentation to support this. Simmedy married Lebron PITTS and had a daughter, Jane; but again, I have no documentation to support this. Do you? John Marshall married Edith HAMIL on 15 Dec 1835 in Pike County, GA (source: Pike County marriage records). Jeremiah J. Hamrick was born about 1818 and died before 1860 (or moved; I never found him on the 1860 census anywhere). He married Hannah Jane CHILDS on 6 Jan 1840 in Thomaston, Upson County, GA (Upson County marriage register). This History of the Hamrick Generation by Jones states that he was a son of the first marriage of John Hambrick and "a Mozley" (p. 203) and he married Lou Childs. James P. was born about 1812 (source: 1850 Houston County, GA census). He married Malinda HORSLEY 16 Nov 1836 in Upson County, GA (source: Upson County marriage register). They had six children (as listed on the 1850 census: James M., Georgia Ann, Columbus C., John F., Washington L., and Fannie L. They were born (in order) circa 1838, 1840, 1842, 1844, 1847, and 1850 (Fannie was an infant at the time of the census). James M. married Syntha FORDHAM (not documented). Georgia Ann married James POLLARD (not documented). Columbus married Martha CREECH (not documented). John F. married Martha's sister, Nancy CREECH (not documented). Washington married Lizzie HOFLIN or HEFLIN (not documented). And Fannie never married. Elizabeth Emaline was born 1 Mar 1818 (not documented - handed down through the generations) and married Augustus OLIVER on 24 Dec 1840 in Upson County, GA (Upson County marriage register is the source). Did they moved to Giles County, TN? Margaret Ann (Peggy) married Thomas LESTER or LASETER (I've seen it spelled both ways) on 30 Jan 1830 in Upson County, GA (source: Upson County marriage register). Finally, William P. Hamrick married Nancy COOK on 24 Jul 1840 in Upson County, GA. Their children: Eliza, William, John, and Joe Benny. Hope that helps some. Any sources for dates would be greatly appreciated. Pat [email protected] At 10:35 PM 4/9/98 EDT, you wrote: >Finally I figured out how to send this information.

I just read the April 8th query on George Wolverton and Julia Hamrick. This is my own family but I have little except names. I am posting those as they may be of some use to you. I would like any dates available to you on George Wolverton or Virginia. Beverly Jo Hamrick Kenny, a researcher in Pennsacola, FL, has worked on this family as Curly Jim is her ancestor.

He wrote back that he could not prove anything in his file and that he simply had opted to create genealogical files rather than keep official records. He said he had been aided in creation of the Hamrick files by Pauline Karabogias of Lorain, OH, whom I also wrote about the questions. Mrs. Karabogias answered with an eight-page letter and I am satisfied that she is responsible for the Hamrick files that Norman has placed on his computer so I changed the reference to Don Norman-Pauline Karabogias.

I'm trying to locate information on him. Julia was born in Webster County WV. Julia is the daughter of James, "Curly Jim" Hamrick, a son of David and Elizabeth (Miller) Hamrick, was born about 1824 and died about 1890. He married Jane Miller about 1848. Jane, a daughter of Thomas and Ann (Pritt) Miller, was born in 1827 and died about 1856. Julia married George W. Wolverton around 1861. George died in 1897. I believe Julia lived until 1905. If you have any information on either George or Julia, please let me know. I'm stumped. Thanks, Atty

Patty, Thanks for the note. My father is the first of our Smiths to marry into the Hamrick/McSwain/etc. tree, so the names you mention don't seem true for my family. "We" came from Alabama to Georgia sometime late last century. When I visited Atlanta several weeks ago, my father took me to a cemetery where some of the Smiths (and assorted marry-in's) are buried. The cemetery (it was a large one and the only one I've ever seen built on really mountainous hills) is now a forest and we couldn't find the plots. Since then, my sister has contacted someone who had a map of the cemetery and they've found the site. I look forward to visiting and seeing if we can find names and dates. Until I can get some of my Smith names and dates to be unique enough to research, I'm sticking with Hamrick and Barry (my mother's families).

Elizabeth, I have the names of John Hamrick (son of Benjamin) and Nancy Todd, but not much information (no dates). I have a list of names of their children through great(?)-grand children, but cannot verify the correctness. The info I have came from the letter from Fannie Hamrick which S.C.Jones printed at the end of his book. I had not yet connected this family to my tree because I hadn't yet determined how John's father Benjamin fit in. The information in the letter indicates that Benjamin "came from Ireland, had two brothers who came with him. All served in the Revolutionary War and all lived to be very old men." To be honest, I just haven't spent time with this "limb" yet. Let me know if I can help you further.

Hi Elizabeth, which John are you looking for? There are two from Virginia, What year? thank you char.

Hi! Cousins, Am looking for information about John Hamrick and his second wife, Nancy Todd. Elizabeth Ashley Ruffin

Ted, I have lineage thru Hamrick, McSwain, and Smiths too. If any of these names ring a bell with you Smith background please email me back. Samuel Smith married to Luch Beecher. (Lucy's mother name was Sarah Plumb) Melvin Smith married Ester (married approx. May 1834) Lennie Smith married William Xenophen Hamrick Thanks, Patty Hamrick Hayes [email protected]

I to, am from the Hamrick, McSwain, and Smith line. My great-grandmother was Linnie Smith(b.Sept 1859). Her parents were Melvin and Ester Smith. Melvin was born JAN 1826 in NYC(Shanangle county). Melvins father was Samuel Smith and Melvins mother was Lucy Beecher. Lucy Beechers mother was Sara Plumb (the Plumbs were coach makers in Mass) Do these names ring a bell with any of you Smith line? Please respond back either way. Thanks, Patty Hamrick Hayes [email protected]
