John Hames is my 5th great grandfather. I am looking for any additional info. that you might have. I would love to see your family tree, Diana. I actually live in Aptos and work in Soquel, CA, my office is coincidentally about 300 feet from where John built the first sawmill in Soquel.
My husband and I visited the cemetary last weekend and saw the graves of Martha Hames and the little boy who passed at age 4 (I am sorry, I forgot his name, we need to go back to get photos anyway). I did not see Drucilla's grave.
I have found some interesting info so far, but I don't know when John died, where he is buried, how Drucilla died, are there any photos of any of John or Drucilla or the kids. Are there any homes that they owned still standing, why did the Soquel land get foreclosed on? Why did John leave Soquel, etc...Also, I would love to know more about John's parents, Ben and Rebecca Hardin and their parents, etc... history that goes even further back, if anyone has it.
Does anyone have information about Eva Estella Hames, she and her husband both died very young and left my Great Grandmother an orphan...
