HAMBRICK
I have seen the name Hambrick spelled:Hambric, Hambrech, Hamric and Hamrick.These are spellings of pronunciations of the same name.As in the word lamb, the "b" can be silent.It's origin is thought to be German and may be a derivation of the name Hambrecht.It may also be of English derivation and some feel it derives from the William D’Amore family of Normandy about 1070 A.D.
According to Steven Bridges, Tressie Nealy and J. R. McKinney, who are researching the name Hamrick, Hambrick, Hembrick or Hemrick, the earliest of this name on record in America is Patrick Hamrick.
According to information complied by Michael Rexroad, which can be found on the internet at: http://www.wildflowerswv.com/hambrick.htmlhttp://www.wildflowerswv.com/hambrick.html and was gathered from Deed Books and records from Virginia:
Patrick Hamrick first appears in colonial Virginia records as a witness to a land transfer.This record is dated 30 Mar 1719 and is of John Berry and Henry Berry in Hanover County, Virginia.Patrick Hamrick also witnessed a deed of gift in King George County, Virginia on 04 Feb 1725, which is included on page 330 of Deed Book # 1.There is also evidence of a Henry Hambrugg (Hambrick) who may have been a brother or cousin to Patrick in early Virginia.
Rexroad says that Patrick Hamrick was a “cooper”.A cooper built wooden barrels.Patrick Hamrick was indentured several times to others for money or property.In Deed Book # 1 on page 411-413 you can find his indenture dated 06 Jan 1726.Patrick and his wife Margaret were indentured for the property they purchased in King George County.This record can be found in Deed Book # 1-A on page 304-305.
Patrick Hamrick obtained a land grant of 118 acres of land from Thomas Lord Fairfax in Prince William County, Virginia on 10 Dec 1740.He had applied for this grant on 10 Jan 1739 as an heir of Roger Day.Rexford says that in a 03 Sep 1739 entry in King George County Deed Book # 2 on page 300 Patrick Hamrick and Roger Day are identified as “shipmates and cousins”.
Patrick Hamrick is listed in the 1741 Poll of Burgesses of Prince William County, Virginia.In a 1747 Poll of residents of Western Dettingham Parish in Prince William County, Virginia, Patrick Hamrick Sr., Benjamin Hamrick, Patrick Hamrick Jr., Robert Hamrick/Hambrick and James Hamrick are all living side by side according to Rexroad
They say Patrick Hamrick was born around 1684 and migrated to Richmond County, Virginia around 1699 as an indentured servant possibly from Ireland or England?After serving his time as an indentured servant Patrick married Margaret Ingles of King George County, Virginia about 1713-1717.It is believe Patrick died about 1764 in King George County, Virginia.This couple had at least nine children:
1.Patrick Hamrick (Jr.) born about 1715 in Richmond County, Virginia.It appears as though he had several children and some of these migrated to Wilkes County, North Carolina.He died around 1793-1795.
2.James Hamrick born about 1717 in King George County, Virginia.James died in 1778 in Fauquier County, Virginia.Several of his children migrated to Rutherford County, North Carolina.
3.Robert Hamrick born about 1719 in King George County, Virginia.His wife's name was Elizabeth.They appear to have had only one child that lived to maturity; Mary. Robert died in 1757 and his wife Elizabeth was appointed administrix of his estate.This Elizabeth appears on a ledger from Daniel Payne Merchant of Dumfries, Virginia 1758-1761.The name in this ledger is spelled Hambrick.
4.Rebecca Hamrick born about 1721 in King George County, Virginia.May have married James Bridges in the same county and settled near her parents in Prince William County, Virginia.
5.Unknown female born about 1723 in King George County, Virginia.
6.Unknown female born about 1725 in King George County, Virginia.
7.Benjamin Hamrick born about 1727 in King George County, Virginia.He married Mary Seirs (Sias), daughter of John Seirs (Sias) and they lived in Fauquier County, Virginia.Benjamin appears to have died about 1793 in Prince William County, Virginia.
8.John Hamrick born about 1730 in King George County, Virginia.His wife's name was Sarah.He died in 1757 and his wife was appointed adminstrix of his estate.It appears there were three children at the time of his death.
9.Joseph Hamrick born about 1731 in King George County, Virginia.His wife's name was Margaret and they moved to Bedford County, Virginia and then on to Georgia. He died in Green County, Georgia in 1792.Joe appears on the same ledger as Elizabeth (above) from Merchant Daniel Payne 1758-1761 and the name is spelled Hambrick.
Ronald K. Hamrick of Burke County, Virginia has posted excerpts from the Account Book of Daniel Payne, 1759-1762 at:http://www.ron.hamrick.net/175962.htmhttp://www.ron.hamrick.net/175962.htm
This Account Book is in the possession of the Maryland Historical Society at 201 W. Monument Street, Baltimore, MD.Hamrick says that Daniel Payne was a merchant in Nearby Dumfries, Virginia.
Page 66 (Joseph’s account) includes on 20 Dec 1760 an entry which refers to his “bro. Patrick”.
Page 78 (James’s account) includes on 01 May 1759 an entry which refers to “yr. Brother Patrick” and credits a payment by “Patrick Hambrick Junr.” On 23 Aug 1760.
Page 142 (Sarah Hambrick’s account) “John’s Widow”.The balance of the account was paid off by “James Hambrick” with 1000 pounds of tobacco on 21 Jun 1762.
According to Hamrick this account book “establishes that Patrick Hamrick, Jr. (‘bro. Patrick’ and ‘yr Brother Patrick’) was a brother to James and Joseph.(The ‘Patrick Hambrick Junr.’ Referred to in James’ record is undoubtedly, Patrick’s grandson.He is listed as a tithable in Patrick, Jr.’s household in 1765” and this would appear to make him Patrick Jr’s son.He also mentions an entry of Robert Hambrick’s widow, “Elizabeth’s (Robert’s widow) account on page 67,”.There is also evidence that Patrick had a cousin named Roger Day in some of the early land records of Virginia.
Hamrick/Hambrick Descendants:
There is evidence of a Jerimiah Hambrick born between 1720 and 1728.He is later seen in Rutherford County, North Carolina with the descendants of James Hamrick.He is referenced in a document concerning the Revolutionary War service of David Hambrick.This has been found to be a son of James Hamrick/Hambrick, son of Patrick Hamrick
I have seen evidence of a Samuel Hambrick in Virginia around 1770.His relationship is unknown.
There was a Samuel Hambrick who moved into Granville County, North Carolina in 1770.
The following items are from Census Records or Tax Lists for North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia:
1790 Census, Halifax County, Virginia shows a Charles Hambrick with six persons in the house.
1790 Census, Morgan District, Rutherford County, North Carolina shows a James Hambrick with nine persons in the house, himself, one male under 16 years and seven females; a Jeremiah Hambrick with six persons in the house, himself, one male over 16 years, one male under 16 years and five females; a Samuel Hambrick with twelve persons in the house, himself, two males over 16 years, four males under 16 years and five females and a Price Hambrick with four persons in the house, himself, two males under 16 years and one female.
1790 Census, Salisbury District, Surry County, North Carolina shows a Henry Hambrick with six persons in the house; himself, four males under 16 years and one female.
1787 Tax List of Wilkes County, North Carolina shows, in Cpt. Trible’s District, Patrick Hambrick with 100 acres and also Benjamin and Charles Hambrick.
1790 Census, Morgan District, Burke County, North Carolina shows a Robert Hambrick with five persons in the house, himself, two males under 16 years and two females.Note:This Robert Hambrick is later seen in Franklin County, Tennessee about 1820.
1800 Census, Rutherford County, North Carolina shows an Enoch Hambrick, Issac Hambrick, John Hambrick, Nathan Hambrick, Travis Hambrick and Yelvaton Hambrick.Note:Yelvaton is mentioned in the 1850 and 1860 Census of Tennessee.Many of the Dickson County, Tennesse Hambrick families are descended from Yelvaton/Yelvington and Travis Hambrick.
1850 Census of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania shows a Henry Hambrick.This Henry Hambrick was a descendant of Hans Jerg Homerich of Germany.
In the Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files by Virgil D. White and published by the National Historical Publishing Company of Waynesboro Tennessee there is the following:
Hambrick, David November 17, 1812; Issac Hambrick made affidavidt in Rutherford County, North Carolina that Nathan Hambrick was a brother to David and Uriah Hambrick, both deceased and they were sons of Jeremiah Hambrick Sr., formerly of Prince William County, Virginia and that the soldier's (David) brother Nathan was the soldier’s oldest living brother, an aunt of the soldier’s was mentioned as Mrs. Farrow.
*This is the notation mentioned earlier concerning Jeremiah Hambrick.The State records of North Carolina 1902, Volume 20 (1785-88), page 549 read Wednesday 26 November 1788 "A report of the Committee on the Petition of Nathan Hambrick;".This is reference to this same matter.
Those listed above are the descendants of Patrick Hamric/Hambrick.With the help of J. R. McKinney is has been determined that our family is most likely descended through Patrick Hamrick Jr. or his brother Joseph Hambrick of Wilkes and Surry Counties, North Carolina.Some of their descendants also moved on into eastern Tennessee.
In Wilkes County in 1780 were:Patrick (Jr.) and his brother Joseph.The sons of Patrick (Jr.):Robert, Thomas, Benjamin and Charles Hamrick/Hambrick also lived in Wilkes County.Patrick’s son, John Hamrick/Hambrick lived in Surry County at this same time.There is a deed in the Wilkes County Deed book C-1 on page 272, which transfers land from Robert Hambrick/Hamrick to Patrick Hambrick/Hamrick.This will is dated 06 Aug 1795 and describes the land as “lying on the middle of Moravian Creek, land being the land granted to Robert by the State of North Carolina” bearing a date of 22, Jan 1795.This deed was proved during the November term of 1801.This is about the time Robert Hambrick and some of his sons moved on to Tennessee.There was also a John Hamrick of Wilkes County, North Carolina.John Hamrick of Wilkes County, was a bondsman for Reuben Landsdown when he married Selah Morgan on 03 Aug 1803.Reuben Landsdown moved on to Carter County, Tennessee.His daughter, Mary Lansdown married David Hambrick in Carter County, Tennessee in 1832.This John Hamrick is thought to have been the son of Robert Hambrick/Hamrick.
Joseph Hambrick was born in King George County, Virginia about 1724-30 married Margaret …Joseph died in Greene County, Georgia in 1792.Their children may have been:
1.Susannah Hambrick b. abt. 1751
2.Joseph Hambrick b. abt. 1752
3.Robert Hambrick b. abt. 1755
4.Thomas Hambrick b. abt 1757

7.Elizabeth Hambrick b. abt 1763
8.Sarah Hambrick b. abt. 1765
9.Mary Hambrick b. abt. 1767
Robert Hambrick was born circa 1760 in Prince William County, Virginia.He married Hannah Hubbard on 07 Dec 1779 in Wilkes County, North Carolina.They were in Burke County, North Carolina about 1790.Robert Hambrick died in Franklin County, Tennessee in 1824.Hannah died in Greene County, Tennessee in 1808.Their children were:
1.Infant unknown b. abt 1780/81
2.John Hambrick b. abt. 1783 d. 15 Jan 1873 in Giles County, Tenessee
3.William Hambrick b. abt. 1785 d. 32 July 1854 in Lincoln County, Tennessee

10.Mary Hambrick b. abt. 1799 in Greene County, Tennessee and moved to Madison County, Alabama
11.Jason Hambrick b. abt. 1801 in Greene County, Tennessee and moved to Madison County, Alabama
Note:From the records it appears that John, Green and William were in Jefferson County, Tennessee around 1804-1806 and that Robert Hambrick died in Lincoln County, Tennessee in 1824.
The following is the information gathered concerning the children of Robert and Hannah (Hubbard) Hambrick:
John Hambrick was born about 1783 in North Carolina.He married three times.His first wife’s name has not been found.He married 2nd on 08 May 1830, Sarah Tuttle and 3rd on 18 Sep 1843 in Maury County, TN, Lydia Fleming.He died in Giles County, TN on 15 Jan 1873.
According to JewelCasey, another Hambrick researcher, “John Hambrick born c 1782 NC and settled in Giles County, TN had a son Willis P. Hambrick who went to MO, settled, raised a family and died there.He should be on the 1850 MO census I think but haven't had access to that census.I really think this John Hambrick was the son of Robert & Hannah (Hubbard) Hambrick.”
William Hambrick was born about 1785 in North Carolina.He married Susan/Eleanor Ford in Jefferson County, Tennessee on 24 Jun 1804.They later lived in Lincoln County, Tennessee.William Hambrick died in Lincoln County on 23 July 1854 and his wife Susan died there on 19 July 1854.Their known child was:
1. Isham Hambrick b. abt .1815 lived in Lincoln County, Tennessee
Celia Hambrick was born about 1787 in North Carolina.Celia married John Dameron on 02 Jan 1806 in Jefferson County, TN.Celia (Hambrick) Dameron died between 1840-45 in Jefferson County, TN.
There is no other information available about Robert Hambrick who was born about 1788 in North Carolina.
Greenberry Hambrick was born about 1790 in North Carolina.Greenberry married Elizabeth M. Dameron on 30 Aug 1806 in Jefferson County, TN.Greenberry Hambrick died 06 Jun 1865 in Princeton, Jackson County, Alabama.
There is no other information available about Benjamin Hambrick who was born about 1793 in North Carolina.
The infant Hambrick born about 1795 has no records.
Joseph V. Hambrick was born 10 Sept 1797 in Greene County, TN.Joseph married 1st Ruthey Payne on 07 Dec 1811 in Franklin County, TN, 2nd Mary A.R. Maxwell on 27 Dec 1844 in Limestone County, Alabama and 3rd Mrs. Louisa Cole (Gooch) Bailey, a widow, on 26 Sep 1853.
Mary or May Hambrick was born about 1799 in Greene County, TN.Mary married Jacob Miller on 14 Nov 1817 in Madison County, Alabama.
Jason Hambrick was born about 1801 in Greene County, TN.Jason married Jane Dameron on 02 Jan 1820 in Madison County, Alabama.
Some of the children of Robert and Hannah (Hubbard) Hambrick stayed in Tennessee while others moved on to Alabama.A book, Land Deeds Of Jefferson County, Tennessee 1792-1814, written by Boyd J. Holdaway has a reference to a Robert Hambrick:
“167Joseph Dameron Deed to Natahniel Day
10 Sep 1808 3 Jun 1805 100 Acres$500.00
On both sides of Bent Creek adj. Timothy Holdaway, Charles Hodges, Joseph Dameron, Fielding Okely.Test:Wm Summers; Robard R. Hambrick. Ackd. /s/ Joseph DameronJuly Sessions 1808.Then was the with deed acknowledged in open court and recorded.Let it be registered.Test /s/ Jos. Hamilton, Clk. Ny D. Barton, D. C.”
Apparently Robert Hambrick was in Jefferson County, Tennessee in 1808.

Knowing that David Hambrick, our earliest known Hambrick ancestor, was born in Tennessee, I turned to the Tennessee records.David Hambrick's death certificate states he was born May 1, 1857 in Tennessee.It also states he died December 3, 1926 in Current River Township of Arkansas.The problem is that it also states he was 67 years 7 months and 3 days old at the time of his death.If he was born in 1857 he would have been 69 years old and if he was 67 years old he would have been born in 1859.This record does not give a middle initial.

These records can be found on the internet at: http://www.itd.nps.gov/http://www.itd.nps.gov/
The Hambrick families in western Tennessee, Dickson County, are descendants of Travis Hambrick and Yelvington Hambrick of North Carolina and hence from Virginia.Travis and Yelvington are descendants of Jeremiah Hambrick of Virginia.The eastern Tennessee Hambrick families appear to be the descendants of Joseph Hambrick of Wilkes and Surry Counties of North Carolina.
It appears that David and John H. Hambrick of Jefferson County Tennessee were brothers.David would have been born about 1801 and John about 1806.These may have been the sons of John Hamrick of the same county.In the 1840 census John Hamrick appears to have been between 50-60 years of age.He was probably the father of John Hambrick who is also listed in the 1840 census as being between 20-30 years of age. He is also likely the father of David and John H. Hambrick of the 1850 Jefferson County census.It is probably this is the same David Hambrick who is in Carter County in 1832-40. This is also likely John Hambrick the brother of Greenberry and William Hambrick who are also seen in Jefferson County in 1804-1806.
Hopefully now that more and more materials are become accessible via computer we may yet be able to graft our David Hambrick back on to his family tree.I include all the above Hambrick families for other researchers reference even though they may not be in my direct line.
The main problem with establishing David Hambrick's ancestry is that his death certificate, which is the only document I have, is in error.He was born on May 1st.Further evidence points to 1859.If he was born in 1857 he is most likely the son of James C. and Elizabeth (Hickerson) Hambrick who was 3 years of age when the census of 1860 was taken.From these records there are three choices for David's family:
(1.) David Hambrick (1801) married Mary Lansdown 15 Jan 1832 in
Carter County, Tennessee.Their children were:
Joel Hambrick b. 1833
Elizabeth Hambrick b. 1836
William Hambrick b 1837
Martha Hambrick b. 1838
Note: Joel Hambrick (1833), son of David above, married Lucinda Swanner 08Feb 1858 in Washington County, Tennessee.Their children were:
Willaim J. Hambrick b. 1858
and
David T. Hambrick b. 1859
(2.) W.J. (William) Hambrick (1823) married Matilda Tanner 16 Mar
1843 in Maury County, Tennessee.Child:
David D. Hambrick b. 1857
(3.) James Charles Hambrick (1819) married 1st Mary Fussell; no
children found, married 2nd Elizabeth Hickerson 05 Nov 1846.Their
children were:
William Hambrick b 1848
Charles Hambrick b. 1849
C. Hambrick b. 1856
D. Hambrick b. 1857
S. E. Hambrick b. 1858
Our lineage, according to my Hambrick cousins, who are also researching these records, is:
William Hambrick b. 1785 North Carolina
James Charles Hambrick b. 1819 Tennessee (choice #3)
David Hambrick b. 1857 Tennessee
Thad Hambrick b. 1891 Arkansas
Arvena Hambrick b. 1918 Arkansas
There appears to be a flaw in this lineage.The “D.” Hambrick son of James C. Hambrick has been determined to be Daniel not David.
Our lineage, according to my own research of comparing family naming patterns, geographical location and migration routes is:
Patrick Hamrick (the immigrant) in Virginia
Joseph Hamrick/Hambrick-later in Wilkes County, North Carolina
Robert Hambrick-later in Franklin County, Tennessee
JohnHamrick-later in Jefferson County, Tennessee
David Hambrick b. abt 1801 in North Carolina (choice #1 above)-later in Carter County, Tennessee and later still in Jefferson County, Tennessee
Joel Hambrick b. abt. 1833–later in Greene County, Tennessee
David T. Hambrick born in 1859-later in Carter County, Tennessee and later still in Randolph County, Arkansas
The problem with my logic is that the tombstone for Winey (Susannah) Hambrick, David’s wife, says she was the wife of D.H. Hambrick.David does not appear to have a tombstone.Some records from Randolph County, Arkansas also refer to him as D. H. Hambrick.Perhaps the census record is in error and gave him the middle initial T. instead of H.?
Also a key point is that David Hambrick of Current River Township, Arkansas, married a lady named Susannah Navey or Navy.They were married on 11 Dec 1879 in Carter County, Tennessee.According to William Navey, who is researching the Navey name, there were two brothers by the Navey name in Randolph County, Arkansas in 1880.This is the county were Current River is located.They were in and around the town of Maynard about the same time as David and Susannah (Navey) Hambrick.Susannah is also seen in records as Winney.Her tombstone says Winey.
William Navey says William E. Navey was born in Burke County, North Carolina about 1861 and died in Maynard, Arkansas in 1925.He married Emma Holbrook on October 22, 1889 in Randolph County, Arkansas.His brother was Elias M. Navey who was living in Maynard in 1880.William Navey says there was also a sister but he does not know her name.I am assuming she was Susannah Navey.
William Navey says these two men's father died in the Civil War and their mother moved to Carter County, Tennessee and remarried Harvey Jestus or Justice.The 1840 Census reveals a David Hambrick in Carter County, Tennessee.This David is too old to be the one who married Susannah Navey but is possibly his grandfather.David Hambrick met and married Susannah Navey there and then moved with her brothers to Arkansas about 1891. There were also Hambrick families in Burke County, North Carolina where Susan was born.So there is a definite tie between our David Hambrick and Carter County, Tennessee.This leads me to believe he is also tied to Joel or William and their father, David Hambrick of Carter County and that he may be David T. Hambrick son of Joel Hambrick.
The 1880 census of Carter County, Tennessee on page 7 of District 5 in household # 65 reveals:
Hambrick, David, 20 years of age, Works on Farm
Hambrick, Susanah 21 years of age (his wife)
This was David and Susannah (Navey) Hambrick.They were living next door to Joseph and Susannah Swanner.According to this census in household # 64 were Joseph Swanner who was a farmer and was 70 years of age and was born in TN and his parents were born in Maryland.His wife, Susanah was born in “TN” as were her parents.Living with them was a grandson, James Douharty, age 10 years.This grandson was the son of Joseph and Rachael A. M. (Swanner) Dougherty.They were married in Washington County, Tennessee on 01 Apr 1867.
This census also shows the Navey family.Household # 61 reveals:
Jestus, Harvy, 39 years of age, Works on Farm
Jestus, Martha M., 43 years of age
Jestus, Isaac R., 9 years of age
Jestus, Mary A., 5 years of age
Jestus, Steven, 72 years of age (father of Harvy)
Navy, Elias, 23 years of age, stepson
Navy, William E., 19 years of age.
This was Martha M. Navy the widow of John Jackson Navey who was died in the Civil War.There is a marriage record in Carter County, Tennessee, which is for Martha Navy and James H. Justice and is dated 26 Dec 1869.It is clear this is the marriage of the widow of John Jackson Navey.I believe this is this marriage of the family included in the 1880 census above, Harvey Jestus.This name may also have been Harry Jestus as it is difficult to read.It is interesting that the Navey family is living just four houses away from David and Susannah (Navey) Hambrick in this 1880 census.Martha’s maiden name has been found to have been Franklin.Susannah Navey is also seen in records as Winnie Navey and or Winnie Hambrick.
The death record for William Edward Navy of Randolph County, Arkansas says that he died on 02 May 1924 and was born in Morgantown, North Carolina on 01 May 1861.His father is recorded as Jack Navy and his mother as Martha Matilda Franklin.This was the son of John Jackson and Martha M. Navey of Burke County, North Carolina. Martha Navey moved to Carter County and remarried to James H. Justice, then to Tennessee and then on to Randolph County Arkansas where she died and is buried as Martha Justice.At least two of her sons are also buried in Randolph county.
The 1870 census of Washington County, Tennessee on page 9 of District revealed:
Swanner, Joseph 65 years of age, farmer
Swanner,Susannah 60 years of age
Swanner, Lucinda 27 years of age
Swanner, Rachael 22 years of age
Hambrick, William 12 years of age
Hambrick , David 11 years of age
Hambrick, James 2 years of age
This was Lucinda (Swanner) Hambrick the wife of Joel Hambrick and their children.Something had happened to Joel Hambrick between 1868 and 1870.It also appears that Joel was involved with the Civil War as there are no children seen between 1859-1867, the war being 1861-1865.No further record has been found of this family after 1880.Joel may have died from war injuries and Lucinda may have remarried? A further check of those Civil War records show:
Hamrick, Joel who was a Private in Company F of the 60th Regiment of the Tennessee Infantry.This was also known as Crawford’s Regiment.
There was a Joseph Hambrick in this same Company as was Amon Swanner, John Swanner, Joseph Swanner and a John Swanger.Amon and Joseph Swanner were Lucinda Swanner’s brothers.Joseph Hambrick and John Swanger’s relationship to Joel and Lucinda has not been determined.There is a mention in a record that Joel’s “other name” was Joseph.Perhaps he went by Joe and was recorded as both Joseph and Joel Hamrick?There was also a “James Flambrick” in this same Company.It is easly to see how an uncrossed H in this time period could appear as a Fl.I believe this was actually James Hambrick.
It appears form the records that Joel Hamrick/Hambrick died in Fort Delaware, Delaware in the Prisoner of War camp there.His Company had been captured at “Big Black” on 17 May 1863.He was received at Fort Delaware on 15 June 1863 and apparently died there on 29 June 1863.
The Marriage Records of Washington County, Tennessee revealed:Joel Hambrick was married to Lucinda Swanner on 08 Jan 1858.
Their marriage records read:
“State Of Tennessee – Washington County.
To Any Regular Mintier Of The Gospel, Judge or Justice Of The Peace.
I Do hereby empower you, to solemnize the rites, of MARRIAGE
Between Joel Hamrick and Lucinda Swanner and join them together as Husband and Wife, in the holy estate of Matrimony: and this license to office endorsed by you, with the date of such marriage, within six months. Witness: Henry Hoss Clerk of the County Court of said County, at office in Jonesboro this 8th day of Feb 1858
On the back of this record you can read:
“No 1449

Lucinda Swanner

On the 8 of Feb

Several of the Swanner children were married in Washington County, Tennessee.
The 1860 census of Greene County, Tennesse revealed:
Hambrick, Joel 27 years of age, farmer
Hambrick, Lucinda 19 years of age
Hambrick, William J. 1 year old
Hambrick, David T. 2 months old
The 1850 census of Jefferson County, Tennessee revealed:
Hambrick, David 49 years of age, farmer
Hambrick, Sarah 40 years of age
Hambrick, Joel 17 years of age
Hambrick, Elizabeth 14 years of age
Hambrick, William 13 years of age
Hambrick, Martha 12 years of age
The 1850 census of Carter County, Tennessee reveals:
Hambrick, Mary 18 years of age living with
Hannon, Hiram 27 years of age
Hannon, Mary 22 years of age.
It is not clear who this Mary Hambrick was.She may have been the first child of David and Mary (Lansdown) Hambrick?There was a Mary Hamrick who married Clem Gaddy on 06 Dec 1850 in Carter County, Tennessee.This may be the same person as in the 1850 census Mary Hambrick was living only a couple of houses from a Gaddy family.
The 1840 census of Carter County, Tennessee shows the David Hambrick family living next door to the Reuben Landsdown family.
Since David Hambrick was born about 1801 in North Carolina I looked at the 1810 census of North Carolina.In Wilkes County can be found:George Hamrick and John Hamrick.This John Hamrick is thought to be the John Hamrick who was in Jefferson County, Tennessee in 1840 and is likely the father of David Hambrick.
The marriage records of Carter County Tennessee show that David Hambrick married 1st Mary Lansdown on 15 Jan 1832 and 2nd Sarah Simerly on 11 Jan 1845. They also show that John Hamrick married Tryphena Hetton on 19 Mar 1828.This was probably David’s brother.Mary Hamrick married Clem Gaddy on 06 Dec 1850.This Mary Hamrick is thought to be the first daughter of David and Mary (Lansdown) Hambrick.
The marriage records of Daivd Hambrick and Mary Lansdown read:

The record for David’s second marriage to Sarah Simerly on 11th of January 1845 is also on file in Carter county, Tennessee.Looking at the census records of 1850 Sarah would have been about 35 years of age and David about 44 years of age when they married.David and Sarah have not been found after 1850 so it is not clear if they had children.
These records confirm my theory that our ancestry in Tennessee goes David and Mary (Lansdown) Hambrick, Joel and Lucinda (Swanner) Hambrick, David T. and Susannah (Navey) Hambrick.It is very likely since the 1850 census places David in Jefferson County near a John Hambrick and an older John Hamrick that John and David were sons of the older John Hamrick.This John Hamrick was probably the brother of William and Green Hambirck of Jefferson County, Tennessee (1804-1806).
A book, Tennessee Cousins by Worth S. Ray and published by the Genealogical Publishing Company contains information on Reuben Lansdown.Under the section on The Old Gap Creek Settlement in the Watauga Valley, “Later settlers on Gap Creek were:Reuben Landsown” among others.
David and Susannah (Navey) Hambrick married 11 Dec 1879 in Carter County, Tennessee.Dave Hambrick died on 04 Dec 1926 at 65 years of age.Susanna also known as Winney (Navey) Hambrick was born on 18 Sep 1859 and died on 01 Apr 1922.They are buried in the Johnston Cemetery near Reyno, Arkansas.David and Susannah Hambrick had children:
William (Will) Hambrick b. Jan 1882 in Tennessee
John Hambrick b. Jul 1885 in Tennessee
Mac Hambrick b. Mar 1887 in Arkansas
ThadHambrick b. 21 Oct 1891 in Arkansas
Addie Hambrick b. Feb 1894 in Arkansas
RhodaHambrick b. May 1897 in Arkansas
They lived near Reyno in Randolph County, Arkansas.Their marriage record reads:
“STATE OF TENNESSEE, CARTER COUNTY

At one point in time prior to 1796, North Carolina and Tennessee were one.Tennessee separated into a territory and became a state in 1796.The Civil War devastated much of the South and many persons lost homes and lands.During “Reconstruction” many moved to areas where they could find good farmland.From the records I have seen the Hambrick families were farmers.Both in North Carolina and in Tennessee they lived in prime farm country.The migration route of my David Hambrick’s ancestors seems to have been Hanover County, Virginia, then Burke County, North Carolina, then Jefferson County, Tennessee, then Carter County, Tennessee and then on to Randolph County, Arkansas.
The records of Randolph County, Arkansas contain the following references to our Hambrick/Navy/Rapert/Swindle ancestors.Some of these records can be accessed on the internet at http://www.rootsweb.com/~arrandolhttp://www.rootsweb.com/~arrandol

The children of Thad and Gussie Hambrick were born in Middlebrook, Arkansas.Some of this family moved to Michigan around 1945.J. T. Hambrick had children born in Berrien County, Michigan.Two of the daughters, Arvena and Dixie, lived in Berrien County most of their adult lives.Ula Arvena Hambrick married 1st Farris Daniel and had two children, Edna who died in infancy and James Lucien.She married second, Harold Earl Brackett and they had children William, Charlotte and Harlen who were born in New Troy, Michigan.The other Hambrick daughter living in Michigan was Dixie, who married Floyd Lockamy.Thad and Gussie Hambrick died in Michigan, she in1953 and he in 1954.Dave Hambrick and his wife Katherine (Lavonne) Clay were killed in a car accident in Berrien County, Michigan in 1953 while visiting his dying mother.Thad and Gussie Hambrick, Dixie and Floyd Lockamy, Dave and Lavonne Hambrick and Harold and Arvena Brackett have plots in the New Troy, Michigan cemetery.
In conclusion, it is obvious to me that these Hambrick families were all related at one time.Even though the name is spelled differently at times, this can be attributed to the clerks recording the name.These clerks went by the pronunciation, not necessarily the correct spelling.
There were persons by the name of Hambrick/Hamric in this country as early as 1700.There was at least one David Hambrick who served in the Revolutionary War (1775).I have also seen a record of a Dave Hambrick from North Carolina who served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War (1865) and there were probably many others involved in that conflict.
Arvena Daniel (nee Hambrick) married 2nd Harold Earl Brackett in Berrien County, Michigan in 1947.
Their son William Earl Brackett married Jane Rae Hauch in Lakeside, Michigan in 1970.
