Hamrick is the son of Lewis Hamrick, 1821 in Highland, Ohio. (I checked and none of his brothers are named Willis.) Lewis' father was John Hamrick 1785 in Prince William, VA. Considering the name and general area there may still be a connection further out. I have this family back to a Patrick from Ireland in 16?? who was an indentured cooper. Lewis Hamrick died in Levenworth, KS in a Civil War Veteran's Home. He did a verbal genealogy for a student project that I found online. I'd have to search through my stuff to find the reference. I found it online a long time ago and the details are fuzzy. Finding him helped me find the rest of the family on the Hamrick Geneology site.
