SC Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/SC/Cherokee/10119 Surname: ------------------------- Hi Pat, My Family comes though Jesse Hammett & Anna Cook of Spartanburg Couny, S.C. (Which is now part of Cherokee County, S.C.) Thier daughter Sarah Adaline Hammett, who is my 2nd great grandmother, married Oliver Perry Williams about 1845. I have a picture of her. Her mother is said to be part Indian. There is a good book on the Hammetts which traces them back several generations to Virginia. Jesse is said to be the son of Charles & Nancy Hammett and have the following brothers; John, Daniel, Ben & Charles. I know the location of Jesse's Land & Grist Mill which was located on Island Creek. The land later was purchased by Oliver Perry Williams's first cousin Drury Williams (his wife Jane Potter being a granddaughter of Jesse Hammett). She later devided the land into seven parts for her children. I would be happy to help you on your family, but would need to know more concerning your ancestor. Johnny
