Looking for any info on Simon Hammond(I), born about 1570 in England. Married Joan Ray. Father of Simon Hammond(II) and grandfather of Martin Hammond. Descendants of Simon(I) eventually immigrated to the Virginia colonies, then to Richmond County, Va., then to the Lancaster/Kershaw county area of S.C. I have information on this line of the Hammond family back to Simon(I), from which I am directly descended, and will be happy to share. First 6 generations of my line from Simon(I)are: Simon(I), Simon(II), Martin, Job(I), Job(II), and Samuel Hammond. I have much info from Job(I) to the present, but have hit a dead-end at Simon(I)of England. Please submit reply to this message if you have any info.
