William died 01 Nov 1928 and is buried in Cuzzort Cemetery in Crawford Co. Indiana with his wife Demaris (Newkirk) and several of their children. Elijah and Nancy are living in Orange Co. Indiana in 1870 census records (it is next to Crawford). Elijah owned a Mill in Orange Co. for a few years in the early 1860's. We found a rock in Patoka Chapel Cemetery in Orange Co. Indiana carved "Elijah Hammond, died Oct the 20 1876. I have no other proof if this is truly Elijah, or a child, or who he is. Elijah and Nancy are NOT in Orange Co. in 1880, so my theory is this could be him, and perhaps she returned to KY to live---a Nancy is listed in house of David W. Hammons and his wife Phoebe in 1900 Knox Co. KY census as widow mother age 79 (the W. could be Wiley). The 1910 Knox Co. KY lists Wilie and Phoebe family but not Nancy, so perhaps she's died. If anyone can help with Elijah and Nancy's deaths, please do! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
