Hammetts Jefferson County, Georgia

John Hammett died 1846 in Warren County.... His son Thomas Jefferson Hammett was the executioner of the will.
John provided some of the land to help start Ways Baptist Church.
John and his family didn't necessarily move from Jefferson County.... The county lines moved around them.... The family held land in what is now parts of Burke, Jefferson, Glascock, Warren and McDuffie county intersections.... You will find Hammett info in all these county records.
It is speculated that this John Hammett is a son of the Kettle Creek Hammett's in Wilkes County.
Contact me I would like to compare notes.
