    3. I'm in hopes that someone can help me identify my Hambrick line. I've had very little success but it may fit nicely in with the established line that has been so widely discussed lately. Here it is in a nutshell: Meshach Hambrick was born circa 1794 in Georgia and married Rebecca Kelly in Jasper County, Georgia on May 20, 1813. He had served in the War of 1812 in the Georgia Volunteers (Militia) in Capt. John Wilson's Company which was formed in Jasper County. Rebecca Kelly was born circa 1796 in Georgia, probably the daughter of Tyre Kelly who later moved to Lowndes County, Alabama. By at least 1837 Meshach Hambrick and his family were in Lowndes County Alabama. He lived in an area that later became Crenshaw County which was formed from Lowndes. Both Meshach and Rebecca were still living as late as 1871 although I do not know precisely when either died. They had several children. Some of these children moved to Arkansas and some remained in Alabama. I feel that Meshach had a brother named John Hambrick whose widow Louisa Matilda was living in Lowndes County in the 1830's. I also feel that Meshach had a brother and/or father named Harrison Hambrick who was in Jasper County Georgia in the 1820's. Does this fit in with anyone's research? I certainly hope so! Will be glad to exchange information. Many thanks. David Sanders
