From: motesp@hiwaay.net [mailto:motesp@hiwaay.net] Street Hamrick homeplace The inscription on the Price Hamrick grave marker which says "Son of Moses Richard". How can the theory, that holds Moses Richard Hamrick to be but a creation of our cousin S. C. Jones, be reconciled with the words on this grave site? Bill Pat Motes, In the 1960's this was published by Cameron Street Hamrick Clan Reunion Committee (No Authorship noted on Publication) George Hamrick settled in Pennsylvania and married Nancy Cook. They had several children. Three sons, Charles, Benjamin, and George settled in Tyron County, now called Cleveland County. Charles Hamrick had a son Price Hamrick, born in 1765 and died in 1822. He married Nancy Bridges. They reared three sons, Richard, John, and Moses. Moses was born December 24, 1921 and died August 1868. On February 5, 1818 he married Sally Robinson, daughter of Isaac Robinson, Revolutionary War Hero. To this union was born 13 Children, eight boys and five girls. Among these was Cameron Street Hamrick August 29, 1822 and died 29 Jun 1900. Street Hamrick and Elmira Bridges were united in marriage and six sons were born. Elmira was born November 30, 1822 and died November 9, 1987. Skipping to page 4. pa 2 & 3 are pictures of the home place. 39th Annual Reunion of Hamrick Clan Sep 8, 1863. One hundred and thirteen years ago on January 1, 1850, Cameron Street Hamrick purchased from James W Irvin 200 Acres of land for $150.00. The log house, now the Cameron Street Home place, was built by James W Irvin. Description of house and furnishings follow. In 1958 it was voted to improve the family cemetery. The following year the grave of Isaac Robinson was moved from Mrs H McKinney's place (my kin) to a plot on the grounds. The monument placed by the six Hamrick sons was also moved. The graves of Moses and Price Hamrick and there wives were also moved from the family cemetery nearby. Markers were placed at the four graves. Further down it says markers to Moses and his wife and Price and his wife were moved to the Street Hamrick Place and an Iron fence enclosed the monuments. >From the wording it suggests the markers were previously at cemetery where Price and Moses were buried. It did not give the children of Benjamin and George but the children of Benjamin were well described by S C Jones. It is interesting that the genealogy was very specific in saying that Price was the son of Charles and there was no mention of Moses Richard in 1960 although S C Jones published his book in 1920. S C had Samuel as the son of George and Price and Mary, wife of Samuel as children of Moses Richard. He did not have a Charles. Pat Motes: For your information Virginia DePriest published another edition (not revised but edited with some notes. It is available from the Broad River Genealogical Society, PO Box 2261, Shelby, NC 28151-2261 for $18.00. It is also indexed which S C Jones book is not. She identifies the first two generations as problem areas and suggests Patrick Anminer as Patrick Hamrick published in Cavaliers and Pioneers Vol III, pa 109 10 Jun 1706. Her reissue was 1938) I recommend anyone interested in this area of Hamrick genealogy purchase this book. It has no dates or places of events but is like the begats in the Bible. J R
