Surnames: Hampton Hyder Bradley Griggs Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XeC.2ACI/55.179.391.393 Message Board Post: I am a descendent of Col. Andrew Hampton and his second wife, Caterina (Katherine) Hyder. From their daughter Mary(Polly) who married Anslem Bradley then went to White Co., TN. Have done quite a lot of research over a period of 35 yrs, and have visited the home places in NC and TN. My line went to AR in the 1850s, and I live in TX. It has been been said within the family since Civil War days that our Hamptons were related to the Wade Hamptons of SC . Do you have any info that verifies this?? Bonnie Williams Studebakerr
