SC Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/SC/Cherokee/10128 Surname: Hammett, Williams ------------------------- Thanks Pat for your post, It all looks good. Mary Hammett the dau. of Jesse & Anna (Cook)Hammett was married to Aaron Potter and had at least 1 daughter named Jane Potter born 6 Jan 1835 in Spartanburg,(now Cherokee) Co.,SC.. She married Drury Williams son of Isaac & Susan (Scruggs) Williams about 1852. She was sometimes refered to as Jane Hammett and recieved part of the Estate of Jesse Hammett and later inherited the entire estate which had been purchased from the Jesse Hammett heirs by her husband. Sarah Adaline was my 2nd ggrandmother and married Oliver Perry Williams. She died about 1903 at Kilpatrick, Dekalb Co.,AL. and is buried in the Williams Cemetery. My Uncle John R. Williams recently purchased the 40 acre farm which included the cemetery. He has built a nice home there and also reopened the small cemetery for future burials. Jesse Hammett died abt. 1868 in Spartanburg County. His wife Anna died in Jan of 1871 in the same place.
