GEORGE WASHINGTON HAMILTON b.About 1861 son NORRIS HAMILTON (listed as Novice on the census record) b. 1 September 1894 (birthday info from the WW1 draft registry) another son GEORGE W. HAMILTON JR. (My ancestor) b. May 1901 and a sister ANNA MAY HAMILTON called ANNIE b. About 1905. Family legend states that their mother who's surname was JOLLY (no one remembers her first name for certain and I can't find it anywhere)died young when her son George was between the ages of 4-6...it has also been said it was not terribly long after she had ANNA MAY. So the Unknown JOLLY would've died sometime between 1905-1907. Its is also alleged that GEORGE WASHINGTON HAMILTON Sr was dead by 1915. His son George Jr. was often called "MAN". NORRIS and GEORGE W. married sisters, NORRIS married MARY WOOD and GEORGE W. married RACHEL AMELIA WOOD she was often called "MEELIE". Norris and Mary are on the 1920 and 1930 Census in Arkansas and Alabama. It is also rumored that George W. married at 16 and had a son called Nolan before later marrying Amelia. The Hamiltons moved around alot, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama and even Georgia at one point but George W. and Amelia ended up back in West Tennessee for the rest of their lives and both died in Weakley County. They had 12 children together and have MANY MANY descendants in the Weakley County area. RACHEL AND MARY were the daughters of JOHN PINKNEY WOOD AND HASETINE HARRIS aka HASSIE HARRIS. HASSIE was a descendant of Benjamin Norris Hendon through his daughter Nancy and Mark Strickland Harris. JOHN "PINK" WOOD is the son of RUFUS D. WOOD and RACHEL E. LOKEY I have ALOT more info on this family, especially the Hendon's/Harris' and Lokeys Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
