Here is my two-generation descendant chart on the family of William and Jeannette Gregory Hamrick. Most, but not all, the information came from Mayme Hamrick's book and the 1870 census, via Tressie Nealy, I believe, and "Heritage of a Pioneer" by Charles Tunis Dodrill. This family has hundreds, if not thousands, of descendants living so there is information all over the place. The WVPioneers list has, perhaps among others, descendants including Patsy Hamrick-Weikart and Nancy Grimm. The two William Christian Dodrills here can become confusing. But there were, indeed, two sisters who married men named William Christian Dodrill. I am placing Charles Tunis Dodrill's explanation of this at the end. So if there is anything wrong here and Patsy has been sleeping, she will wake up and correct it immediately. Patsy's grandfather, Arnold, was a son of Kelly Ben and Naomi Mollohan Hamrick. Nancy's ancestor, Elizabeth, was a daughter of the same couple. William F.

Charles Tunis Dodrill "Heritage of a Pioneer" WILLIAM HAMRICK HERITAGE...P673 "In 1850, one of the outstanding citizens of the upper Elk Valley was William Hamrick, who had seven daughters, three of whom had married three brothers, cousins of William Dodrill. They were the sons of John Dodrill, a brother to William Dodrill's father, James. John's oldest son, also named William Christian, married Sarah Hamrick, a daughter of William Hamrick, and settled on a tract of land owned by William Hamrick, located below the mouth of Amos Run, a tributary of Laurel Creek of Elk River. The tract lay midway between the present villages of Wainsville and Erbacon, then known as Beech Bottom. Another one of William Hamrick's daughters, Nancy, had married Benoni Griffin, and acquired a tract of land from his father-in-law that lay a short distance below and adjoining the tract on which William and Sarah lived. "After the marital troubles of William and Levicy Miller ended in divorce, William, a man of 28 years of age, found solace in the company of William Hamrick' s daughter, Mary, and they were married. "William Hamrick died in 1850 shortly after William Christian Dodrill and Mary were married, and the heirs divided the estate. The land on which William Christian and Sarah were living below the mouth of Amos R.un on Laurel Creek, was conveyed to William Christian (son of James) by the several heirs of William Hamrick and their spouses. It was agreed that William was to pay each of the heirs, except Benoni and Nancy Griffin, a stipulated amount. Benoni and Nancy had been assigned their portion of the estate before the death of William Hamrick. " William Christian (son of John) and Sarah then moved to Poplar Creek of Birch River, where they lived until they migrated to the West after the Civil War. William Christian (son of James) and Mary then moved to the land vacated by William and Sarah. The log cabin consisted of two rooms and stood on the hillside overlooking the creek above the former home of Frank Blankenship. The old Nicholas-Braxton County line passed through the lands between the present villages of Wainville and ERbacon. The deed of conveyan ce from the Hamrick heirs to William called for: 'A certain tract of land lying in Braxton County, on Laurel Creek, a branch of Elk River, adjoining th eland of Byrne Duffy & Co., containing by survey 200 acres, being the upper end of original survey, own ed by heirs of William Hamrick and bought by him from John Brown, commissioner of delinquent and forfeited lands.' It was described as: 'Beginning at a white oak corner to dividing line between said Dodrill and Benoni Griffin on the East side of Laurel Creek, near the mouth of a run (School House Hollow), and runs to the fork of Laurel Creek at the mouth of Amos R.un to Byrne Duffy &Co.' The deed indicated that the heirs lived in Nicholas, Braxton and Randolph Counties. dhamrick@neo.rr.com Dan Hamrick 402 23rd Street NW Canton OH 44709 Phone: 330-454-2376 ---------- >From: "Chadd and Martha Rose" <tuckman5@intrepid.net> >To: HAMRICK-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [HAMRICK-L] Query: William F.
