OH Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Guernsey/11478 Surname: Hammond, Lanning, King, Knight ------------------------- Most of my ancestors lived in Byesville as I was a young girl. I'm trying to do my family tree and have hit a brick wall. Jacob Hammond, my great grandfather was married to Almeda Lanning and they had four children, Walter (my grandfather), Della, John, and Goldie. I know that my great grandfather, Jacob died fairly young. I think in a mining accident, but I can't find any information as to when. I also cannot find information on when my great grandmother, Almeda died. I found her on the 1920 census and she was living alone with her son, John, but I can't find her on any census before or after. I don't know who her parents were or where she lived before Byesville. I would appreciate any help. I have information on Jacob's parents, but I'm not sure it's accurate, so I'm unsure as to his birth date or whether they really are his parents. My information is that he was from Perry County and his father's name was James and his mother's name was Mary Ann Goodlive. Answers to these questions would link everything together and I would appreciate any help. My grandfather, Walter Hammond, married Naomi King but I know nothing about her background except that her mother's name Katherine Knight.
