Tim I noticed in one of your emails to some one else that you have a Grady Hammond in your line. I have one in mind also. Grady C Hammond b: 1903 Limestone Co TX. He is the nephew of my GGrandfather John H Hammond. For the life of me I can not remember but want to think we also had a Rayford Hammond in our Hammond line. This is what I get for not keeping up my own family genealogy & working on Limestone Co. I am sure I have that info some where around here in a book. Pat Oates in TX

Pat, The Grady I know is Grady Henry, son of John R Henry and Sussie Hammond. The first son of this pair was John Allison Henry. If your Rayford Hammond is the one in Kosse, William Rayford Hammond, we probably have a match. Remember, all I know of the Hammonds is from the picture my dad's first cousin had. Now if I can find the original misplaced at home tonight, I will label each and get back to you. The pict was taken AFTER Susie died in 1900. Its a family portrait. You would be the first I met of cousins in that side of the family. I have no idea where everyone got to.

Tim I do not have any of the names you listed below in any of my lines that I know of if I am remembering correctly the Rayford Hammond may have come out of Crit H Hammond family after 1900 & am not even sure about this. The name just keeps ringing a bell with me for some reason. I am sure about the Grady Hammond coming from this Crit H Hammond line for sure. I never knew they were related until I started doing genealogy & this family was in Thronton at one time.
