Who has done research, not just echoing the Jones book, on the family of Han George of Pennsylvania? If so, will you post any documentation that will place any of his male descendants in Rutherford-Cleveland Co NC. Thanks in advance. Tressie

Barbara, I have corresponded infrequently with him for many years. He was working as a merchant seaman and was gone from the country 6 months or more at a time in the past. Let me know if you hear from him. He needs an E-mail from his merchant ship. J R

Cybersluths, Sandy Patton wrote to me a few days ago asking me for a list of web sites that started with Patrick Hamrick emigrant. I thought I had a bunch of them bookmarked. I remember visiting them but when I hop on a search engine I cannot find them and my bookmarks are a failure also. Would anyone who knows of any, please post them to the list for me and others to use. (Ignore any of mine) J R

Rick's & Bricks, Several months ago someone wrote to the group looking for the address of Don Hamrick of Wellborn, AR. Does anyone have a current address for him? He is not listed in the Telephone search directories on the internet? J R

Don Hamrick is a merchant seaman. This may make correspondence difficult.

Testing to see if I have this thing set up right.

I will do look ups in my book "marriages in Rockingham County, Virginia - 1778 -1816 Patsy

Part Two - Of the hosts of Hamricks whose ancestors first were farmers there are now prominent lawyers, doctors, business men, craftsmen, textile leaders and workmen in every activity in the county. Marriages and inter-marriages with a score or more leading families have made family records and family traditions and names seem almost like those of one family, especially in the southern part of the county. An anecdote is told of a Civil War captain who was calling the roll of men from a Cleveland County copany and after calling a score of Hamrick surnames came to "Moore" Hamrick, and a wag called out, "There are not any more Hamricks: they are all here." Of all the earlier Hamricks, Dr. Wiley said "Their lots was one of unremitting, grinding toil from sun to sun. Their scant learning consisted in reading the Bible and writing their anmes. They were honest, substantial citizens of their generation, and their history was the short and simple annals of the poor." Probably the most prolific of the progeny of the Hamricks has been the family of the late "Uncle" Berry Hamrick who was bornin 1820 and died in 1917 at the age of 97, possibly the oldest of the Hamricks and who had three wives and outlived all three. He was well acquainted with the earlier Hamricks and said that the first George Hamrick had 21 children and that three of them, the three mentioned by Dr. W.C. Hamrick, came south and that their marriages and connections brought the families of Greens, Blantons, Bridges, Harrells, McSwains, Champions, Washburns, Wrays, Suttles, Bosticks, Ledbetters, Doggets, Conners, Hughes, Magness, McBrayer, Webb, Lovelace, and Williamson under the roof of the family tree. Some of the very earliest Hamricks, according to S.C. Jones who got records from courthouses, land grants and other sources were: Samuel, entered land 1797 near Mt. Sinai; James nearby in 1800; Jones, west side First Broad river, 1800; Frederick, Patterson Springs, 1800; Price, near Beaver Dam, 1800; Nathaniel, Hickory Creek, 1797. Mr. Jones found some very puzzling connections, some of the Hamricks having three great-grandfathers who were all brothers; a number of men were fifth or sixth cousins to their wives, "yet all of them had sense enough to go to mill and back." The prominence of the Hamrick family and connections in public life is revealed in the following summary of service: Housand Harrill, Rutherford legislature, 1804; David Hamrick, R.C. legislature, 1834; William Jones, R.C. legislature, 1846; Amos Harrill, R.C. legislature, 1846; Benjamin Washburn, R.C. legislature, 1858; Charles Blanton, first Cleveland sheriff, 1842-1852. James Y. Hamrick, first legilator of Cleveland County, 1844 and again in 1848 when he died; Richard Champion, first clerk of court of Cleveland, 1842-1866; John Blanton, Rutherford sheriff, 1880-90; Burwell Blanton, trustee N.C. State College, 1890; Dr. John B.Harrill, R.C. legislature, 1885; Capt. G. G. Holland, Cleveland County legislature, 1850; William M. Blanton, Cleveland legislature, 1856; James Y. Hamrick Jr., Cleveland legislature, 1881; Senate, 1895. James L. Webb, legislature 1881; superior court judge many years; Wiley C. Hamrick, Cleveland legislature, 1889 and S.C. Senate 1910; Drury S. Lovelace, legislature, 1909 . . . and many others too numerous to mention.

I have been following the posts lately regarding this topic. While I am not trying to fan the fire or to beat a dead horse, I still have questions about this controversy. Having grown up in Cleveland County (and having all my family still living there), I know quite a few people in this family. Yes, you will find that most of the Hamrick descendants living in Cleveland County still hold onto the theory S.C. Jones presented in the "Hamrick Generations" book regarding Hans George Hamrick being the father of the Hamrick clan there. Perhaps there are some good reasons for this that we are closing our minds to? I certainly cannot refute the Patrick Hamrick theory as I have not done the diligent research that many of you have done regarding this, yet I still have to wonder why I have never seen the name Patrick used in the Hamrick descendants of Cleveland County. We see the name George used repeatedly, but never Patrick (to my knowledge). The other question that remains in my mind is......WHO AND WHERE ARE the descendants of Hans George Hamrick? I hope we all remain open-minded about this issue and continue to search for the truth. This summer I had the priviledge of having access to the private papers of Fay Webb Gardner, wife of Governor O.Max Gardner (former NC governor). Mrs. Gardner started the first DAR chapter in Cleveland County, so she had a very keen interest in genealogy and her heritage. Mrs. Gardner also was a Hamrick descendant, so among her papers were notes she had made regarding her Hamrick heritage. Her notes indicated Hans George Hamrick to be her ancestor. There were also some newspaper clippings, one regarding the Hamrick Family. Unfortunately, the date was not on this clipping, so I do not when this appeared in the newspaper. At the top of the clipping it says "Cleveland County Centennial", so I would assume this article appeared in a special edition of the newspaper. It is a fairly old yellowed clipping. I will send the article in two parts so it will not be rejected by Rootsweb due to excessive length. HAMRICK FAMILY FOUNDER CAME FROM GERMANY History Traces Family to Hans George Hamrick A family tree of the Hamrick generations in Cleveland and Rutherford Counties reveals to genealogists that thousands of limbs and branches are so mixed and intertwined with a dozen other leading family trees that nearly everyone is "cousin". The family name of Hamrick has for years led all other family names in numbers in Shelby and Cleveland County and still is ahead of the Beams, Blantons, Bridges, Greenes, Hoyles, Roberts, and the ever-present Smiths, Browns and Jones. According to two sources, a book 'The Hamrick Generations" by the late S.C. Jones and a book "Life Values in the New South", by the late W.C. Hamrick, all the present generations of Hamricks in Cleveland and Rutherford counties are descendants of one Hans George Hamerick (Hambrick, Homrick, or Hamrick) who came to this country from Germany in 1731 as a poor immigrant farmer who was seeking religious freedom. French armies had laid the lower Rhine River valley in waste and the rulers persecuted the Protestant elements horribly, so Hamrick joined a shipload of refugees in Rotterdam and sailed for America and landed in Philadelphia where he later married and worked. Several years prior to the war for Independence, Charles, Benjamin and George Hamrick, sons of Hans George migrated to Cleveland County, North Carolina, the county then being Tryon, later Rutherford. Soon the name became Hamrick, or in some cases Hambrick and the hard-working industrious farmers began the task of earning their bread and of following the Biblical injunction of "replenishing the earth". One prominent member of the Hamrick family, Attorney Fred D. Hamrick of Rutherfordton, believes, after considerable investigation, that several members of the Hamrick family may have originated in Ireland, but the exact origin is not clear. Dr. W.C. Hamrick in his book says his father, Streeter Hamrick, the son of Moses Hamrick, the son of Price Hamrick, the son of Charles Hamrick, the first son of immigrant Hans George. Streeter had six sons whose descendants have organized and hold a reunion in the Poplar Springs - Beaver Dam community each year. It was said of Streeter Hamrick that when his sons married he gave each of them a mule, a pig and a straight-backed chair to begin their carrer, and that each of them went to work and carved our fortunes in farming, trading and textiles. At one time the combined wealth of the six sons exceeded four million dollars. The brothers were Marshal Newton, Sidney Hill, John Calhoun, LeanderSheppard, Alonzo Marion, and Wiley Cicero, and all lived their entire lives in this county with the exception of Dr. Wiley Hamrick who moved to Gaffney to build the Hamrick Mills there and a textile fortune. With the death of John C. a few days ago only Alonzo M. remains. All have lived to a ripe old age, the total for the six almost reaching 500 years. (To be continued in Part Two)

Dan, So sorry - I forgot about that statement at the reunion - I think Bob would agree with the Judge on that line. He tells me that he is henpecked but I call it "devotion" - I guess its all how you look at things. Dan there is hope for you yet - never give up!

Patsy Hamrick-Weikart's comment about happy marriages reminded me of a comment delivered at the 1999 Pioneer Family reunion by the Rev. Charlene Hamrick, minister of the Valley Head (WV) Methodist Church and wife of the Rev. David Hamrick (WV) of the Rock Cave Methodist Church. Judge Jane Barb of Parsons, WV, was speaking and said it is "very difficult to be married to a Hamrick." >From Charlene, sitting beside her husband in the back of the room, came this comment: "Amen." dhamrick@neo.rr.com Dan Hamrick 402 23rd Street NW Canton OH 44709 Phone: 1-330-454-2376 Cell: 1-330-284-1913

And Dan left out the full page of Darlene on page 47 - in a long white lace gown standing in a garden under a lace arch way holding red flowers bouquet. The Winter 1999 issue of Bride Again magazine - the Spring issue will have five photos of Darlene taken at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Laguna Beach, CA. (no Darlene is not a bride - just a model and have been happily married for almost twenty years next June.) Hamrick genes keeps us looking so youthful!
