Virginia, also 3000 acres in Farnham Pari sh, March 3, 1672, and is designated as the "olest settler " there. We do not know the date of his arrival in Virgini a from England, but it probably was not long before the dat e of the Land Grant.

      John Elmore

      William Hammack died 7 Jul 1730 in North Farnham Ph., Richm ond Co., VA

      Called "the Elder" since his father had two sons named Will iam. When William Hammack acquired a title in 1656, it evid ently was to clear title to the land on which his father ha d settled some 21 years before, and William thus became th e "first settler" in Yeocomico Forest. As no other bearin g the name Hammack, or similar name,
      appeared in America during the period 16-1700,
