Recently Susan Brock Booker posted a message that she thinks Daniel's tree (b. 1777) might be the son of Charles & Nancy too. There were six sons - and one was unknown. If Daniel turns out to be correct,along with your Jesse, then I think the "unknown" son will turn out to be my William (b.@ 1771) who married Martha "Patsy" Lnu. The two families stayed close & connect when a Hammett from Daniel's tree(Cenie) married a Hammett (Julius)from William's tree. In recent info I have received on mine - it has Martha (wife of Wm.) leaving an estate of "approx" 150 acres (I can't recall the correct figure off hand),and it was on the Pacolet river, I think near Fairforest. A lot of Hammett's settled around the same area. I really am starting to think all our Hammett's are going to connect. Charles Brookings Hammett is another Hammett that hasn't connected to any tree yet - I think he will turn out to be the son of one of the Hammett's listed above. He also had land on the Pacolet river, & was buried in small Hammett cemetery on his land. The one sibling of my Thomas (b. 1799) son of William, that little is accounted for, is his brother James (b. @ 1800-1810), who wasn't living in the area when his mother died. I think this will turn out to be the James (b. @1801) who married Clarissa, & after their children were born, they moved to DeKalb AL. I know I'm doing a lot of "guessing" here - . If you find any other info - please keep in touch. thanks - Pat
