I can help a little, at least going back. My line is the Hammons. Catherine Hammon married Henry P. Baker in either Somerset CO., PA (Wellersburg) or in Allegany Co., Maryland, only a few miles away. Henry was born 27 Oct 1805, according to one source in Berlin, Somerset CO., PA, although the 1850 census states he was born in Virginia. Catherine's father was Henry Hammon, died 1841 in Millwood, Knox, Ohio (more later) This line goes way back to 1500's in Germany.

Henry and Catherine lived in Butler Twp., Knox Co, Ohio in 1850 and shortly thereafter moved to Iowa and settled near Cinciannti, Appanoose Co. Henry died there in 1855 and his mother in 1881.

Three of Catherine's brothers, and seversl nephews settled near Indaianla, Warren Co., Levi W. Hammon, Daniel Hammon and Peter Hammon, the Trimbles and Harden nephews and Andreas too all settled int he area.

Hiram was at least the sixth child of Henry and Catherine, born 1838, died 1873 in Monterey CO., CA. Born in Knox Co.

He married Rebecca Jane Smith in 1861.

Siblings were: (Older) John K., Henry Hammond Baker, Jacob Hartlam baker, Peter Decatur Baker, Mary Ann, then Hiram. Younger siblings includ Susam M, Marion, Olive and taylor, Eliza H., and Cathryn are also possibles.

I have more information if needed.
