franzhofmann — 2009-10-20 00:48:10Z

Ok, this is difficult. If this is the Diane Hamby from Travis Highschool, class of 70, then I DO remember her! We were friends in our Junior year, and were in quite a few classes together. I had a terrible crush on her, and we had some "cute" times together while rehearsing for one play in drama.

I had heard she died in Las Vegas at around that date but the details were never clear. franz dot hofmann at gmail dot com.

No, I haven't been able to visit the cemtery, but one of the nice ladies associated with Sutton county was good enough to send me photos and obituaries, etc. I live in Arizona, so that is a bit far for me to travel. I thank you for your reply.
I would love to see your tree if it is online.....I wouldn't mind filling in some of this family line if you don't mind helping me out with it. My line is from Priscilla Clifton Hamby......

Have you had the time to make the trip to the cemetery in Sonora, TX and photo the stones? It is a very nice one with lots of oak trees, etc. There are Hamby stones are in two different spots.

Lillian (Ramsel) Hamby was my great aunt. I spent lots time with her as she and my grandmother Adele Ramsel Evans shared an apt. together in San Angelo before Lillian past away. I do not know much about Mr. Hamby as he had already past away before I was old enough to know.
I have a couple on the pictures of stone on my tree.

Langston Hamby and Nancy Foster SON OF WILEY? NORTH CAROLINA

nanhow2 — 2009-08-10 20:25:13Z

I am still trying to find information for the Children of Lank Langston/Lankingston Hamby and Nancy Foster:
From the 1860 Roller Ridge Benton County Arkansas census:
Lawston Hamby age 45 b. NC
Nancy Hamby (Foster) age 45 b. NC

William age 18, NC..(this is MY WILLIAM MARRIED PRISCILLA CLIFTON AND DIED IN TRAVIS CO TX)HE IS BUR. GREENWOOD CEM. AND SHE IS AT OAKWOOD ANNEX CEM.

Thomas age 16 NC

Edy (Edith) age 14 NC

Betty (Elizabeth) age 12 NC

Franklin age 8 NC

Andy (Andrew) age 5 NC (WAS HE IN AUSTIN TEXAS ALSO?)

Sarah age 2 b. AR

Martha Hamby age 22 NC
Polly Hamby age 4 NC (daughter of Martha....still at home a widow perhaps?)

Ruben was on 1850, but not 1860 census. Died young????

Do you have any information about this family? WILLIAM AGE 18 b. NC is my own line, but would like to have more information on the others in the family.

The youngest, Sarah was born in Arkansas, the others in NC so they moved from NC between 1855 to AR by 1858.....altho there have been times when the state of births are not always correct. There was a boy named Ruben o the 1850 census....but he is not on the 1860 census, so assume that he had died.
Langston Hamby and Nancy Foster were married in Wilkes Co., NC (marriage license issued Feb 20 1836) RILEY Hamby (relationship unknown) was also listed as a bondsman for the marriage. It is THOUGHT (but not proved) that Langston could be the son of Wiley and Rachel Hamby who were m in Wilkes Co., NC in 1814.
If this is your family would love to have your family line!

Hamby family Y-chromosome DNA project

ghamby1 — 2009-08-03 02:41:22Z

Hello!

I have established a Hamby/Hanby family Y-chromosome DNA project at FamilyTreeDNA. We have two members so far, and I invite all male Hambys to join. The project has several purposes, among them to help Hambys in their research when the paper trail has gone cold. I'd also like to work out the different lineages of Hambys in the Carolinas and beyond. The site below has all the information including pricing for the tests and such. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Re: Solomon Hamby

durance — 2009-05-28 04:28:54Z

I think there is a Solomon Hamby living in Prince Georges, Georgetown, SC, in the 1790 Census. You'll find him transcribed as Harby, but I think he is probably a Hamby. This could be a connection to your Solomon Hamby?

Does your Hamby book mention Reuben Hamby (1779-1872)?

Re: Andrew Price Hamby - Mena Arkansas

Yes there is a connection... Thomas J Wilcoxson descends from Lt Daniel Wilcoxson and Sarah Sallie Falconer through their son Daniel where Green Craig descends from his brother William..

Many thanks for the insights. Sometimes these stones just jump out at us, challenging us to understand a bit more about the folks and their lives.

Your great-grandfather's was one of those. Let me know if you need a photo of the stone. I still have it. Best.

The Andrew that I am talking about, I believe was the son of Langston/Lankingston/Lawson Hamby....Married to Nancy Foster. Don't have much information on Andrew Hamby, son of Lankingston and Nancy (Foster) Hamby. Andrew with Lawson and Nancy on the 1860 Roler Ridge, Benton Co., AR. census as b. 1855 in NC. (age 5 on census) This Andrew also had a brother named Ruben on the 1850 census, and it is assumed that he died because he was not on the 1860 census with his family.

Re: Jack Hamby

I did not email you becasue it has been 6 years since your post and I did not know if your email address still works.

Corda J. Hamby is my great-grandfather. They buried him in Coffeville Cemetary and had "Happy Jack" on the back on his tombstone. My grandfather said he was called that because he was so mean and un-happy.

He died in Bradford, AR sitting in a chair at their filling station/resturant. He apparantly had a heart attack and died quitely.

Re: Hamby

v8bravada — 2009-01-26 15:55:15Z

You know, I might know the person you are looking for. My great-grandfather was Corda J. Hamby. But we did not call him Jackson, we called him Jack. (Jackson could be his name but we only knew of him as Jack). Everyone in town called him Happy Jack. He died in my grandfather's gas station/resturant on August 26, 1960 in Bradford AR. He is buried in Coffeyville cemetary in Bradford AR. We have his birthdate as December 14, 1884.

My grandfather used to tell me that he never talked about his past and when he would get mad if you asked him. I do beleive we have the same person becasue how many people have you met named Corda??

If you want to talk further, please email me at v8bravada@comcast.net. I would love to know if I have other family out there that we have never met.

Thank you,
Alicia Hamby-Taylor

Re: Looking for James Vester Hamby, James Hamby who married Ollie Johnson

coolforlabs53 — 2009-04-03 23:00:41Z

Hi,
I remember Vester and Virgie Hamby from when I was a child. We lived on Chateau Ave in Price Hill which is a sub of Cincinnati. They were both good friends of my parents Glen and Odessie Collins. This was back in the middle 1960s. My parents are both gone now. I suppose Vergie and Vester are too by now. I have good memories of them. Just thought I would share this with you.

Re: info on Issac Smitty Hamby

tphighlands — 2009-02-05 03:19:34Z

The name of the church that you are thinking about is Siloam Baptist Church which is located in the Powdersville Area of upper Anderson County just off Hwy. 81 and directly on part of the old Hwy 81 next to where Concrete Elementary School is located. The Beeco family is located in the cemetery with the Merritt family. Antwain Beeco married Anna Lonsdale from England. One of their daughter Amelia ( Emelia ) married Joseph Mattison Merrit. Antwain ( Antween) I have seen several spellings and also on Beeco, it is sometimes seen as Beecough. Their sons participated in the civil war from N. C. I believe. I am not looking at my records. The exact dates- I believe that there are not exact dates on the tomb stone- I believe only ages. These can be checked out at the Book of the Dead by Ross M. Smith . It is listed by cemetery on one of the Anderson County forums for genealogy - maybe Genforum or Genweb. Just type in Ross M. Smith's Book of the Dead on a Google Search engine and it should show up. I have some info on the Beeco family if anyone is interested. Please contact me at sswillen @ comcast.net. Thank you.

Re: Joel Thomas Hamby

MarshaRoseberry — 2009-04-20 00:47:06Z

I have been researching for the past 2 years and it is not easy since, a lot of the Hamby's have the same first name. I believe they must all be related. My mother knows some about her mother's side Lilly Hamby born in 1900 and her grandfather John William Hamby born in SC Jan of 1863. John's father was Stephen Nathan Hamby born abt 1838 in Greenville Austin district. Stephen's father was John Allen Hamby born in 1815 married to a Sara born 1810. I can find Stephen on the SC 1850, SC 1860 and NC 1880 (married to Melinda J) census but, I can not find him anywhere on the 1870 census. There were other Stephens but not my gg-- grandfather. He used the name Nathan sometimes and I have a feeling he was married to someone else around 1861 because, he had a son in 1863 in SC and Melinda looks like she starting having children abt 1876. Thanks for the information. I do have pictures of my great grandfather JW wearing a sheriff's badge.

Re: Joel Thomas Hamby

MarshaRoseberry — 2009-05-06 14:35:57Z

Could you look in your Hamby book and see if you find anything about a John A Hamby born abt 1815 married to Sarah which was 5 years older then him, They were living in Greenville South Carolina in Austin township. I would like to find out who his father was. He was called John and Allen different times on the census. I am trying to find out were his son Stephen was in 1870...thanks for any help

Re: Joel Thomas Hamby

What was their father's name?

Re: Joel Thomas Hamby

MarshaRoseberry — 2009-04-22 01:18:04Z

I would greatly appreciate any information that you have. Stephen Hamby's father was John Allen Hamby born 1815 and I belive that J Allen's father may have been William. But something tells me since J Allen was born in 1815 that William may have had a child that would have been John's father. I would love to know if, Stephen N Hamby which was born abt 1838 had anymore children after 1880 census. I can only find him on the 1850, 1860 and 1880 census. Also, I would like to find out if he was married to someone else in 1870. He was married to a Malinda J on the 1880 census living in Burningtown NC. One of Stephen's sons name was James A Hamby and I found a death certificate showing his mother's name was Cynthia Hamby. However, there was another Stephen R Hamby which also had a son name James. thanks for replying

MarshaRoseberry — 2009-04-03 01:36:22Z

Help!!!I am looking for information on Stephen Nathan Hamby born abt 1838 in Greenville SC that married Melinda S J Hamby (don't know her maiden name) she was born abt 1842 in South Carolina. Stephen is listed on the 1880 Census in Burningtown, NC. as Nathan Hambie with children, J William(my great grandfather which I have info on), James A, Manda S J, Mary A, Henry M, Thomas J, Louisia L, Robert A, Samuel and Luther H. He was listed on the 1850 and 1860 census as Stephen with his father J A Hamby which was born abt 1815 married to Sarah (don't know her maiden name) but Sarah was born abt 1810. On the 1850 Census J A Hamby (Stephen's father) was listed as Allen Hamby with children, Henry (Hennrietta), James, Stephen, William J, Sarah Jane, Mary A, and Andrew Benjamin. My mother's mother was Lillian Hamby and her father was J W Hamby (Son of Stephen Nathan Hamby) which JW lived in Oconee SC. I am looking for any information on Stephen and Melinda Hamby and their parents, I show Stephen and Melinda's children's names on the 1880 Census but, I can't find them on the 1870 census before moving to NC. It looks like they disappeared. I know he had to be married before 1870 because he had a lot of children born in 1860's. I am not sure if maybe he married one of his brother's wifes or what. He was born in Greenville South Carolina. If anyone has any hint or info, please let me know...thanks and hope to hear from someone.
