Nadine and Sherrie, James P Hamrick b est 1813 in Wilkes, GA and his wife Malinda Horsley are well known. I have five of their children but I do not have a James Martin Hamrick for them. There are several James Martin Hamricks who are sons of others. >From the chart of descent you showed it would appear Morris Hamrick would be deceased. I checked the Social Security index and did not find him. You might try the State of Alabama for a death record or the County Court House of Houston County, Alabama where Dothan is located. James P Hamrick was in the 1850 Census of Houston, GA and the 1870 census of Dale, Alabama. I would also look at the 1910 census of Houston County, Alabama for Dothan since John David was born there in 1909. It would give you some estimate on the age of Morris. Tressie may have more help.
