Hi, Ivory Hamby's father was John Hamby born about 1797 in Virginia. The Ivory Finley Hamby I referred to had a son also named Ivory Finley (Findley?) Hamby. The son was born in about 1868. Perhaps this is the one you mentioned. Ivory Finely also had a grandson Ivory Finley Brown, son of William Taylor Brown and Elizabeth Jane Hamby. Let me know if you want to exchange info.

PROUD WIFE OF TENNESSEE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD SGT. CURRENTLY ON TRAIN UP FOR DEPLOYMENT FOR KOSOVO. Hi Becky, The Ivory Finley Hamby,Jr. could be the man that I am looking for.All I have on him is the initials I.F.,so it would fit.Do you have any information on him,i.e. birthdate,death date....He and Electra Cox were only married a short time,they were married 5 Oct 1893 in Morgan CO.TN.Electra died giving birth to their second daughter Eva, on 21 Sept 1896. After that, Eva was raised by her grandparents(my gg-grandparents) Martin Vanburn and Sarah Howard Cox.She married an unknown Smith and had a bunch of children, one of which was a son Ivory.I just assumed from the fact that her grandparents raised her, that her father had also died.He might not have though, he could have just left her with them.

Hi, There is a book by Lee Gallery called "A Goodly Heritage" It is about the Hamby's in our area.
