I am looking for the parents of William Meron Hammons b. March 19, 1885 per his World War I draft registration which was in Corbin, Whitley County. William married three times, a date and place of the marriages may help me figure out who his father was. 1. Peachie Ridener b. Sep 2, 1892 d. Jan 7, 1923 They had four and possible five children: Roy b. 1910 E Connie b. 1912 Clyde b. 1915 Cecil b. May 6, 1916 Possible Clarence b. Feb 8, 1921 (others have a later date of birth and state this is Luther Clarence or Clarence Luther) William married second Eva Parson she was b. Nov 16, 1899 and died Dec 2, 1936. They had three children. 1. William b. June 4, 1924 died Nov 28, 1926 2. Coy Boyd b. June 22, 1925 d. March 1987 3. Luther b. 1927 He married third Martha Craft - no further information on her, but I don't believe he had children with Martha. 1920 District 286, West Corbin, Whitley County, Kentucky HH # 31 - 39 Hammons, William M Head M W 34 M all KY ...Peachie wife F W 26 M ...Roy son M W 10 S ...Comie Son M W 8 S ...Clyde Son M W 5 S Setzer, Margurite Mother-in-law F W 60 wd 1930 District 11, Corbin, Whitley County, Kentucky HH # 207 - 171 - 189 Hammons, Wm Head M W 45 M 22 KY KY KY ...Eva wife F W 28 M 24 VA VA VA ...Roy son M W 20 S KY KY KY ...Connie son M W 17 S KY KY KY ...Clyde son M W 15 S KY KY KY ...Coy B son M W 4 S KY KY VA ...Luther son M W 3 S KY KY VA ***Where is Clarence born in 1921 and not living with father and step-mother. ~ if he is Luther as others state then I have the incorrect date.
