Sherry-Thanks for responding. I'm descended from
Hannah Hamlett, Lucy's sister, who married John
Collier in Pr. Edward Co., VA in 1765. I was hoping perhaps one of Lucy's descendants might have retained information on the origins of the Hamletts in VA. James
Hamlett, father of Lucy and
Hannah, appears in the
Amelia Co., VA tax records as early as 1744. He purchased land there in 1748 and 1749. This land became part of
Prince Edward Co. when it was formed in 1754. Ther were Hamletts in
Charles City Co. and in
Henrico Co. in the 1700's and earlier, as well as in
James City Co. But the evidence is spotty and nothing to show who were the parents of James and Obedience
Hamlett.
There was a Thomas
Hamlett in
Prince Edward Co. also, with sons James and David. I believe this Thomas was a brother of James, but no proof has been found.
I have information on the daughters of
Pines Ingram and Lucy - Martha and Lucy, and their husbands,
Wiltshire Pettypool and Charles
Cabiness, Jr. But I know almost nothing about his sons, William, James, John and Samuel. I have John marrying a Lucy
Hanson on 14 Dec. 1814, in
Madison Co., AL, and that's all. If you have any more on the sons, I'd like to know.
I tried to find a will for
Pines Ingram in
Madison Co., but wasn't successful
I have information on
Hannah and John
Collier, if you're interested, and on their brothers, James and William.
Thanks again, Ed
