JR and et al., The Burwell Hampton Hambrick/Hamrick line is mine. Thanks for all the help. I believe one of the reasons we had such a hard time identifying him was because he was basically raised by his older brother. The way I understand it, my Berrell/Burwell Hampton Hambrick was the youngest son of Thomas and Sarah Scurlock Hamrick. But because of his father's death before his majority, his brother Joseph petitioned the courts to become the guardian of Burwell's portion of the estate (and of Burwell himself I guess). We just recently found out for sure that Burwell was married to Elizabeth Barber from some of the old plantation records in Texas. The plantation was bought and renovated a few years ago and some of my relatives out in Texas have gone there and say that it is beautiful. One of these days I hope to get out that way too. Below find what I have on the descendants for Burrell/Burwell Hampton Hambrick/Hamrick. I actually started with his immediate family including parents. It might be more information than some will want, but some of the collateral names may help track down other Hambrick/Hamrick lines.
