SUMMARY of William "O" Hammock:
Based on research by Thomas Daniel Knight for Felix M. Hamm ack it is generally believed that best place of
origin for William Hammock is the County Davon which is a c oastal couny located in southwestern England on the
sea. Research is continuing, but strong evidence points t o this area.
After coming to America and setteling down in Old Rappahano ck County VA there are 39 known recordings
concerning William "O" Hamock of which 21 were civil cases , 8 were land recordings, 6 involved jury duty, 2
criminal cases involving his household personal, 1 slande r case of interest, and his will. William was a man that
believed in use of the courts.
William Hammack got the "O" in his name because of instea d of using "X" to prove his mark, he used "O" to prove
his mark, thus became William "O" Hamock in some records.
Notes from Thomas Daniel Knight, while going to school at O xford, (1997-1998) to Felix M Hammack (above)
about his ongoing research of the Hammack line. " I was ori ginally mistaken in stating that William Hammack had
been transported into Northumberland Co Va in 1656. He wa s actually transported to Norhampton Co, which lies
across the Chesapeake Bay on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Usin g an excellent set of books here in the University
Library,I was able to locate the precise location of the pr operty onto which he was transported by James Price,
who paid for his voyage and, presumably, to whom he was ind entured for about 7 years. This land lies across the
bay from Richmond Co. and is right on the coast. Date 14 Oc t. 1995."
LDS IGI records of Devon, England show William Hamick chr 1 1 jul 1623 at Ermington son of John.

2 July, 1701 - WILL:There have been several attempts at th e transcription of William HAMMOCK's will, but all

=========================================================== ==================
At the time of William's death in 1700 he had accumulated c onsiderable wealth as a colonial planter and we learn mor e about him and his family from the probation of his Will t han from any other source. The will was made in the year o f his death, 1700, and filed for probate in 1701. In the wi ll he describes himelf as "William Hammack of Farnham Paris h." The will appears to have been probated in two secions , or maybe there were two wills filed and coordinated in th e probation proceedings in three different counties and ove r a period of 29 years. In one part he named William, young est son, bequeathing him lands and other property, the land s to go to daughter Elizabeth "in case my son William shoul d die. There was an unspecified bequest to son Richard an d he also named him
as "my sole executor". There are two paragraphs concludin g this Will part: "Do make my son William of age to receiv e his estate....but not to dispose of any part of it unti l he arrives at the age of one and twenty;" and , "I do
make my daughter, Elizabeth, of age at years of 16 to recei ve her estate. (The two sons, William, one "the eldest", an d the other "the youngest", the minor age of one and the m inor age of Elizabeth, indicate he was married twice and th at the latter two children were by his second wife.
In the other will part bequests are made to "my grand-child ren, William, John, Mary, till age of twenty", son Benedict , "land where I now live after death of my wife:and for wan t of sure heirs, to my son Robert Hammack; and for want o f sure heirs, to next heirs at law;" to grandson John Hamma ck, and to son Benedict, "all land whereon my son Benedic t now lives." "All the rest of my estate, after the death o f my wife, to be divided amongst my children." "Two sons, B enedict and Robert, to look after my whole estate and tak e care of my wife and
three children," (only two minor children were named inth e first part, William and Elizabeth. The third could have b een Daniel.
We find from the William Hammack will,and from other ancien t records, that he had seven sons: The disinherited son Wil liam, the youngest son William, Richard, John, Robert, Bene dict, and Daniel. The latter in not mentioned in the Will e xcept as "my children", but he was associated with, and liv ed in VA with, or near, the other sic and
could have been none other than a brother to them.Since onl y one daughter, Elizabeth, was mentioned in the Will, ther e is no way to tell the names of others, if any.
