Hi Sue,
I'm afraid I have no notes whatsoever on them. Going back up the line, I have nothing on James' parents, either, but I do have these notes on his grandfather, Benjamin HAMRICK (1739-1839):
---------------------
Benjamin Hamrick born 9 July 1739, Prince William Co VA, by his statement made 7 Nov 1832 in Upson Co GA. (1820 census Jasper Co GA; living with son John in 1830 Upson Co, GA age 80-90. He was age 93 when he made his application for Revolutionary War Pension.
His residence was near that place at the time of the alarm of an intended Indian Raid in 1793. At that time he hastily gathered his family and abandoned his residence and fled to Donnally's Fort, in Greenbrier County, near the present village of Frankfort. The distance traveled on that journey was more than one hundred miles. When all danger of further interference had passed, he is believed to have settled on Birch River.
In 1820, Benjamin Hamrick was living in Nicholas County. In 1826, he petitioned the General Assembly of Virginia for a pension for service rendered in the military service of the Colony of Virginia and the continental army. The petition specifies the residence of the petitioner as Nicholas County but does notdesignate the exact location of his residence. That he was totally disabled, due to exposure, privations and hardships, experienced during the Revolutionary War, is clearly set forth in his petition. The bill for pension, although passed
