> Hamrick, Price Jan 1765 Oct 1820 Son of Moses Richard and Father of Moses In 1938 and 1939, the Cleveland County Cemetery Survey was conducted by B. E. Weathers, Forrest S. Williams, and Anson G. Melton, under the supervision of P. Cleveland Gardner, Cleveland County historian. On page 258 of the survey, they documented a cemetery that was called PRICE HAMRICK GRAVEYARD. The following is the record from that cemetery: PRICE HAMRICK GRAVEYARD: Located in No.6 Township,Cleveland County,N.C.,on lands of John Hamrick,about 6 miles southwest of Shelby,N.C., on a hill covered with oaks. It is about 1/2 mile N.W., of Shanghai School. --------------- Owner: John Hamrick Approimate number of marked graves: 5. Before 1914: 5. After 1914: None. Unmarked graves: 30. Earliest marked grave: Price Hamrick, d. 1820. General condition of cemetery: Poorly kept. INSCRIPTIONS: Hamrick,Price,b.Jan.1785,d.Oct.1820. (Ted's note - the compilers wrote birthdate as 1785, but it was probably misread and should be 1765.) ------------ R.H.d.Aug10,1859. Aged 8 years and 15 days. ------------ Hamrick, Moses,b.Dec.14,1790,d.Aug.10,1868. ------------ Hamrick,Sarah Robinson,wife of Moses Hamrick,b.June 10,1802,d.Dec10,1850. ------------ Bowens,Elizabeth,b.Dec.16,1811,d.July 17,1834. ------------ Bowens, Benjamin,d.July 10 1874. Aged 56 years,4 mos.,and 13 days. ------------ (Mr.Collis Jones says:"Price Hamrick got too hot cutting wheat and died within two hours afterwards and was buried on his own home place.") ------------ Date of survey: Oct 26,1938. Work: B.E.Weathers and A.G.Melton. ------------ There was no record of the inscription "Son of Moses Richard and Father of Moses" on Price Hamrick's grave in the late 1930's. Since the condition of the cemetery was listed as "Poorly kept", I suspect that a family group probably cleaned up the cemetery and created some new gravestones. Ted
