Dear Tyler County, Texas Rooters. I am researching the family of Silas Syd Hammerly. He was born about 1859 in PA. He married Mary Humphreys 25-SEP-1879 in Walker Co., TX. Their only child was Zemma Hammerly b.1885 d.1936. Zemma was supposedly born in Livingston, Polk Co., TX, but I have found no record of her birth there or in Walker Co., TX. Zemma m.Charles Linder Ivy (b.1878 d.1962) in Hampton, Tyler Co., TX on 04-AUG-1901. I have much info on their descendants. According to the daughter of Charle and Zemma Ivy, Lela Idell Ivy Woods, of Jasper, Jasper Co., TX, Zemma's mother died when she was less than a year old. Zemma then went to live with her grandparents in Walker Co., TX. I can find no record of Zemma in any census in either Tyler Co. or Walker Co. Zemma's father remarried to Finze E. Culpepper in Tyler Co., TX 21-FEB-1888. In the Tyler Co., TX courthouse I found a birth record for Georgia M. Hammerly b.17-JUN-1903 with Father as S. S. Hammerly and Mother as Fannie. In the 1910 census in San Jacinto Co., TX I found the following: Hamerly, Hiram age 47 " Linnie age38 wife " Jewell age 16 dau " Claudie age14 dau " Irene age 9 dau " Marie age 7 dau (Must be Georgia M. above b. 1903) In the 1920 census in Walker Co., TX I found the following: Hamerly, Tinnie age 47 " Jewell age 25 son " Irene age 18 dau " Marie age 16 dau " Claudie age 22 dau My question is where is Silas Syd? Why would he be listed as Hiram in the 1910 census? If he died between 1910 and 1920, where did he die and where is he buried? Any help on these mysteries will be greatly appreciated. I have quite a bit of info on Silas' brothers who also came to Tyler Co., TX and married into the Barnes family. I will be happy to share with anyone researching any of the above names for like reciprocation. La Vera (Brasuell) Caruthers [email protected]
