Greydove,
My husband has Hamricks/Hambricks on his mothers side she was a Hambrick. He as been told that ggg grandfather Mason Hambrick married a lady named Annie and she was supposed to of been Cherokee and sometime during the trail of tears they left the Cherokee tribe and formed into the Catawba tribe . Have you ever heard of anything like this? I believe they lived around Rock Hill and York South Carolina

Hi BParris, I traced my Hamrick line back to a Patrick Hamrick and found a pic of his tombstone where he is buried at Mannassas VA and on the stone it reads HAM(B)RICK~~I lookied for a tie to your husband, not knowing your ages, but ggg grandfather Mason Hambrick could be related to my ggg-grandmother Nancy Hamrick b 1792 Bath, VA d 1887 Nicolas Co WV. Her father was Joel Hamrick b 1770 VA d 1850 WVA. I hadn’t heard of the Cherokee into the Ham(b)rick line, but it wouldn’t surprise me. I know of one for sure ndn line in my family (can’t seem to get any documentation, yet) but I suspect more than one line is ndn and more than one tribe. Hard to prove!! I don’t care much abt the “proof” part of it~~it’s just the “not knowing” thats hard. But, I keep searching and thats all we can do, huh? I’ve come along way in 1 yrs time, got along way to go. If I find more abt that Cherokee and Catawba connection, I’ll post. One reason I posted that article on the Catawba Indians, was to show how the researcher found recds that others hadn’t thought to look for. Later~~Blessings~~ Greydove~^~:D
Hi Greydove,
Sorry for not putting dates (just wasnt thinking LOL) the Mason Hambrick I have was born 1897 in York SC and die June 1969 in Chicago I just recently started my husbands side But I have Masons parents as Emanuel C. Hambrick and Frances that is all I have so far on them. It would be interesting to see if his and your lines connect somewhere. I myself descend from the Moore’s and Gibson’s of Hawkins/Hancock TN/Lee VA Im still working on that one (LOL) I started reading the Catawba article last night but I got tired so I bookmarked it and plan to read some more of it today It seem interesting. bparris
Hi Greydove,
I’m also descended from Patrick HAMRICK from Manassas. Sarah HAMRICK and John LEE are my 4th great-grandparents.

Hi Lee, Nice to meet you. I have only been researching my ancestry shy of 2 yrs. now and have met (thru cyber~space) quite a few relatives I never knew I had. Glad you found SaponiTown and welcome. Isn’t it amazing how many branches of our family trees connect across space and time? Genealogy is an interesting venture and it can be rewarding at times and sooo frustrating too, especially when you have Indian ancestry~hard to get records. But, thru connecting with people in places like here in this forum, you learn of what you thought you knew but couldn’t prove about your family blood~lines. Later, Greydove
