I would love to, and regret that I missed this years event. My mother is in Rutherfordton, just off 221!...Not many in this line of Hemphills left,on my side, however, and I doubt if the offspring even know about the Hemphill history (Other than the ones I've told). If you don;t mind, I would like to know if Thomas Hemphill, father of James Herbert Hemphill, of Nebo, NC, was in the Revolutionary war? Does it state in the book whether he or his Father were? James Herbert Hemphill, was my great grandfather Bam's, dad. As a matter of fact, in their 90's, there are still a few grandchildren of James Herbery Hemphill, living in the Nebo area, but quickly dying off. I wanted to get the 2 sides together to discuss facts..hopefully..their minds are stll sharp! If you located these two individuals, and know of or can find the names of their offspring in the book, I'd be happy to pay you for a copy of those pages! I do have copies of the c! ensus records showing James Herbert and Thomas' household, and I have James Herberts death cert as well...but I want more! What wars did tehy fight in? What line of work was Thomas in? I do know that James was a store owner in Lake James area, do u know anything else? Are any of the Hemphills that attend the reunion...are they from this line?
