Kathy, James Ham(b)rick and Susanna were living in Rutherford, NC on land he purchased from his brother Enoch Hamrick on both sides of Shoal Creek in 1785. In 1790 he was in the 6th Company census with his brothers and cousins Nathan, Jeremiah, Henry, Sam, and Price. He had one boy and a wife with three girls, and one older female. In 1800 he had a son 16-26, probably William, a girl 0-10, 2 girls 10-16, his wife, and an older woman over 45 perhaps his wife's mother. Since Pricilla says the estate of her husband in her will 1808 he would have died after 1800 and before 1808. Since the 1800 census accounts for only three girls and a boy probably William, Jenny, Molly, and Rebecca; I would think George , Ann, and Susanna were born after 1800. I have William no birthrate about 1724 I have Sally birthdate 5 Oct 1776 I have Elizabeth no birthdate about 1778 I have Mary no birthdate about 1772 I have George 20 Jan 1781 I have Ann no Birthdate about 1783 I have Susannah 22 May 1786 Does anyone have the missing birthdates? Pricilla knew her legal name, her husband's name, and her children's married names if married and did not use the nickname that had been assigned to her by hundreds of home genealogies that had been passed down for many years and were known to be correct by all. Does anyone know what happened to William Hamrick? He got away before I caught him. I also missed Ann. Any help appreciated. I wish Tressie had some help in identifying James Hamrick's father. jrm J R Hamrick Hambrick Genealogy at: http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com or http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~hamrick -----Original Message----- From: Dan and Kathy Eck [mailto:dkeck@alaska.net] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 1999 3:33 AM To: HAMRICK-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HAMRICK-L] Question? Where do you have James and Susanna living - West Virginia or North Carolina? Do you have approximate dates of death for either?
