Am looking for descendents of Peter HAMMON(D) and Margaret HOUSMAN. Margaret HOUSMAN was daughter of Christian HOUSMAN (first HOUSMAN in Botetourt County, donated land for Brick Union Church) and wife Eve REICHERT. She was born 27 Jul 1800, either in Berkeley County VA or Franklin County VA, and died 26 Jun 1889 in Botetourt County (buried in the Hammond-Henderson-Housman Cemetery). Peter HAMMON(D) [have seen name spelled both ways] was son of Peter HAMMON and Barbara HYPES/HIPES. He was born around 1793, died 22 Mar 1850 in Botetourt County. Peter & Margaret were married 25 Mar 1822 in Botetourt County. I know of 6 children. 1. Mary S. HAMMOND, married John M. CROSS. 1 known child, were there more, who were their descendents? 2. Lewis HAMMOND, died as a child 3. Sarah Jane HAMMOND, married Ralph HENDERSON. 4 children: (Martha Virginia who married Christopher LIPES, Louise J., who married Allen W. FINCH, James P., who married Minnie JONES, Elizabeth "Bettie", who married James William MCFERRAN). I have very little on their descendents. 4. Martha Amanda HAMMOND, who married 1. Robert James THRASHER (2 children: Henry THRASHER, who married Lulu Clark PRICE, Fannie THRASHER, who married Joseph BREWBAKER [who were his parents??]). married 2. Martin Van Buren HICKOK, 4 known children: Bettie Virginia, who married John Thomas ALLEN, William James, who married Josephine Laura HURT, Joseph Hanston, no known marriage, and Margaret Jane, who married James T. QUICK. Again, I have next to nothing on their descendents. 5. Elizabeth HAMMOND, who married Henry E. SMITH. I have nothing on Elizabeth and Henry other than a marriage date. 6. Charles HAMMOND, died young. Does anyone recognize these families? --jennifer E-mail: jennifer.lyon@mci2000.com
