My name is Terry Douglas Creasy and I am doing genealogy research for the Hammons line and am the grandson of Judge Thomas Gordon HAMMONS/Nancy Catherine HUBBARD. Judge Thomas Gordon HAMMONS was b. 16 May 1871 at Road Fork (now Hammond), Knox Co., Ky., and d. 28 Feb 1951 in Barbourville, Knox Co., Ky. He was m. twice: first to Mariah (Marrier) Jane HUBBARD, b. 30 Mar 1869, Knox Co., Ky., d. 19 May 1890; second, to Nancy Catherine HUBBARD on 14 Apr 1892 in Knox Co., Ky. She was the d/o Rev. John HUBBARD and Louisa J. DAVIS and was b. 17 Feb 1875 at Ogle, Clay Co., Ky. and d. 24 Mar 1952 in Corbin, Whitley Co., Ky. Both are buried in the Barbourville City Cemetery. Excerpts from the following letter was sent from Patsy Ann Koerner to Mrs. Katherine H. Buchanan of North Vernon, Indiana. The letter is dated 1 May 1977. Patsy sent a copy of the letter to Pauline (HAMMONS) CREASY, who was my mother and daughter of Judge Thomas Gordon HAMMONS. The letter she sent says in part... "I have found through reliable sources that the father of my great-grandfather, Thomas Gordon HAMMONS, was Perry BROUGHTON. The BROUGHTONS look just like great grandpa--I think the BROUGHTON people are fine people. I am still working on great grandpa's true mother--she may or may not have been a HAMMONS"... It has also been said in the family "you are not really a HAMMONS, you are a BROUGHTON." Patsy also said that Thomas Gordon HAMMONS was close to the Perry BROUGHTON family further fueling speculation about who his parents are. Perry C. BROUGHTON was b. Abt 1837 in Knox Co., Ky. and d. bef 1894 in Knox Co., Ky. His father was William BROUGHTON, b. 1815 in Knox Co., Ky. and d. Abt 1885. Perry's mother was Mariah GREEN, b. 1816 in Ky. Perry BROUGHTON was m. twice: first, on 15 Nov 1860 to Susannah HAMMONS. This is who I suspect might be my grandfather's mother. His second marriage was to Catherine TAYLOR. But if Susannah HAMMONS does turn out to be the mother of Thomas Gordon HAMMONS, then what happened? Did she die in childbirth? Why does Thomas G. HAMMONS and Roda JACKSON then show up as the parents? Did they adopt Thomas? Or did he live with them until adulthood, but was never "adopted" thus still Perry BROUGHTON'S son? Does anyone have the answers? Apparently Patsy did, but she is now deceased and I don't know who has that vital information about my grandfather. Anyone with any information concerning Judge Thomas Gordon HAMMONS/Perry BROUGHTON/Thomas G. HAMMONS or Roda JACKSON--please contact me!!! Sincerely, Terry D.
