Hi jpnz123,

As far as I am aware there has been no further verifiable information on James Pickering Hammon other than what we have already found.

Can I ask what your interest in James Hammon is? Are you family in some way?

Kind regards
John

Hi Rachael,
Thank you for your message.
Unfortunately the Hammon family tree has been difficult to put together and stops at James Pickering Hammon. We are still looking at how we can trace the Hammon name back further but it has been difficult.
If you would like any further information, please let me know and I will let you know everything that we know so far.
Like most family trees there are big gaps.
Kind regards
John & Vikki

Hi Gabrielle,
Tom Barwell's mother was Teresa Quigan who married John Barnwell. Teresa Quigan was the sister of my great grandfather Vincent Maurice Quigan. I have been trying to trace this family for some time and have you in the family tree.
The hope is that there may be some information that your family can shed on the ancestry of both families and fill in a few more holes in the family tree.
Thanks for posting.
John

Hi Craig and Janette,

Thank-you for the replies.

We have the copy of the will.

We also knew she was remarried to Antonio Perez. She was apparently known as granny Perry.

Do you have any advice on where we would look to determine whether there was a brother called Peter Hammon as there is nothing that we can find in BDM online.

Kind regards
John Batcheler and Vikki Hammon

New Zealand Completed Requests / James Pickering Hammon and Hannah Clarke
« on: Friday 02 March 12 23:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,
I am researching the Hammons for my partner and we have not been able to get any further back than James Pickering Hammon.

From his death certificate he was born 1822 Ohio USA. There are no names for his parents only Hammon and Hammon for mother and father.

He travelled sometime prior to 1862 to Queensland Australia where he married Hannah Clark/Clarke 18 September 1862.

Hannah Clark/Clarke was born in Leischester, England in 1843.

In Queensland they had 6 children between 1863 and 1873 and then moved to New Zealand where 2 more children were born.
The children included:
1. Mary Jane Hammon b:1863, d:1887, m:1880 Joseph Haslip in New Zealand
2. Martha Hammon b:1865, d:1927, m:1888 Andrew Martin in New Zealand
3. Florence Hammon b:1867, d:1939, m:?     William Crossley in New Zealand
4. James William Hammon b:1869, d:1952, m:1894 Lucy Amy Bell Smith in New Zealand
5. Rachael Hammon b:1871, d:1959, m:1890 Robert Henderson Kirk in New Zealand
6. Daniel Hammon b:1873, d:?  m:1899 Mary Bell Smith in New Zealand
7. Sussanah Hammon b:1876 (NZ), d:1940, m:1898 Peter Thornton in New Zealand
8. Sarah Jane Hammon b:1881 (NZ), d:1881

It is believed that James Pickering Hammon had a brother who came to New Zealand as well. His name was Peter Hammon and if the stories are correct he was a skipper of a boat the sailed on the Kaipara Harbour. We have no information on him and can not find anything via BDM in New Zealand.

James Pickering Hammon was thought to have been injured the US civil war which began in 1861. We don't know whether he fought on 1 side or was injured as a civilian.

We would appreciate any information on the Hammon family that anyone may have.

Kind regards
John Batcheler and Vikki Hammon

Thanks for letting me know, I should have read the previous posts better, they said Eglish cemetery.
Are there any other Quegan headstones in the cemetery?
