*dates and children according to the research of Jimmie Dayton Mains. 

I know virtually nothing about this family and are still in the process of verifying the information. We have various spellings of this family including Hammonds, Hammon, Hammons, Hamon, Hamond.

Marriages in Lincoln Co., Ky. - By the age of children in the census of 1810 we believe that some of these marriages were probably to some of John's children. We have no records that as yet identify positively our particular John's wife.

1810- John Hammond and a possible brother or son is here in Lincoln Co., Kentucky. There are obviously a number of children in the family that haven't been accounted for. We believe there were at least twelve possible children. We think that the Henry and Abram that show in the 1830 census are probably John's children.

1820- The marriage license for Jonathan Stugess and Peggy Hammond seems to give the name of the parents in our reading as John Hammond and Jonathan Sturgess. Even though it looks plausable we concerned because we haven't seen reinforcing documents that puts a John Hammond of the right age in this area's census. We do find a Thomas Hammons here.

1820 - Thomas Hammon is in Lincoln Co., KY, we don't know if this is a relative or not. [US Census, Lincoln Co., KY]

1830 US Census, Lincoln Co, KY, p. 351
On the same page we find several associated families living next door to one another. Our main relative is Margaret Sturges, who is head of household with her several children. 1male under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 10-15, 3 females between 5-10, 1 female 40-50
We assume that there is a set of twin girls possible between 5-10. She seems to be living next door to her probable brother, Henry Hammond, and James Henry, the probable father to John S. Henry who marries Martha Sturgess, daughter of Margaret.

1850 - US Census, Lincoln Co. Ky, p. 293
Here we see Stugis and a Hammon family living in proximity. We believe these people to be related but we have no firm proof at this time. If they are related it would seem that Sarah Hammon below would probably be the wife of "Peggy's" brother, who apparently is dead by this census. This is sheer conjecture and everything on this page is unproved. We hope that someone out there has the facts on this family.
