Tradition, as reported in all printed genealogies th 2 CONC us far located, is that Anne Hammack, wife of Robert, was Anne Lambert. I have little doubt t 2 CONC hat this was in fact the case. The names Hugh, Lambert, Joshua, Anne Rene, and Lewis all see 2 CONC m to have been Lambert names, and there was a close association between Robert Hammack and Hu 2 CONC gh Lambert. Adaline Evans Wynn reported in her genealogy, c. 1940, that Anne was probably th 2 CONC e daughter of William Lambert (d. 1715), and has been assumed to be the case. William Lamber 2 CONC t certainly had a daughter Anne, but this Anne was born by 1699. We know that Robert Hammac 2 CONC k was born c 1703, thur about 84 when he died in 1786-87. Anne survived him, and if she was W 2 CONC illiams daughter, she would have been about 88. This is hardly impossible, but the last chil 2 CONC d of Robert and Anne Hammack (daughter Milly b 1757). If Robert Hammack's wife Anne Lambert w 2 CONC ere the daughter of William Lambert, then she was about 58 at the time. Again, this is not im 2 CONC possible, but it causes one to wonder. 2 CONT Thus, wonder I have, and in preparing and studying this material, I have increasingly come t 2 CONC o suspect that Anne may have been the daughter of Hugh and Anne (Morgan) Lambert and the gran 2 CONC daugher of William Lambert who died in 1715. We know that Hugh and Anne were married by 171 2 CONC 5 and that Robert and Anne were married by 1726, when their first child William was born. I 2 CONC f Anne Lambert Hammack were born c 1710, she could be an older daughter of Hugh whose birth w 2 CONC as not included in the North Farnham Ph Register (there are clearly other births for Lamber 2 CONC t family members that were not shown, probably because the Lamberts were living in neighborin 2 CONC g Northumberland Co. at the time.) In checking an index to VA wills, I find that there are wi 2 CONC lls for two Hugh Lamberts (probably father and son), in Brunswick and Mecklenburg Cos.

As no other bearing the name Hammack, or similar name, appeared i 2 CONC n America during the period 16-1700. At the time of William's death in 1700 he had accumulate 2 CONC d considerable wealth as a colonial planter and we learn more about him and his family from t 2 CONC he probation of his Will than from any other source. The will was made in the year of his dea 2 CONC th, 1700, and filed for probate in 1701. In the will he describes himelf as "William Hammac 2 CONC k of Farnham Parish." The will appears to have been probated in two sections, or maybe ther 2 CONC e were two wills filed and coordinated in the probation proceedings in three different counti 2 CONC es and over a period of 29 years. In one part he named William, youngest son, bequeathing hi 2 CONC m lands and other property, the lands to go to daughter Elizabeth "in case my son William sho 2 CONC uld die. 2 CONT There was an unspecified bequest to son Richard and he also named him as "my sole executor" 2 CONC . There are two paragraphs concluding this Will part: "Do make my son William of age to recei 2 CONC ve his estate....but not to dispose of any part of it until he arrives at the age of one an 2 CONC d twenty;" and , "I do make my daughter, Elizabeth, of age at years of 16 to receive her esta 2 CONC te. (The two sons, William, one "the eldest", and the other "the youngest", the minor age o 2 CONC f one and the minor age of Elizabeth, indicate he was married twice and that the latter two c 2 CONC hildren were by his second wife. 2 CONT In the other will part bequests are made to "my grand-children, William, John, Mary, till ag 2 CONC e of twenty", son Benedict, "land where I now live after death of my wife:and for want of sur 2 CONC e heirs, to my son Robert Hammack; and for want of sure heirs, to next heirs at law;" to gran 2 CONC dson John Hammack, and to son Benedict, "all land whereon my son Benedict now lives." "All th 2 CONC e rest of my estate, after the death of my wife, to be divided amongst my children." "Two son 2 CONC s, Benedict and Robert, to look after my whole estate and take care of my wife and three chil 2 CONC dren," (only two minor children were named in the first part, William and Elizabeth. The thir 2 CONC d could have been Daniel. 2 CONT We find from the William "O" Hammack will, and from other ancient records, that he had seve 2 CONC n sons: The disinherited son William, the youngest son William, Richard, John, Robert, Benedi 2 CONC ct, and Daniel.

This settlement was established in the year 1752, when Joh 2 CONC n Duncan settled on a creek in this district and gave it his name. Within a few years a numbe 2 CONC r of emigrants from Pennsylvania settled on the creek above Duncan. From the "Statistics o 2 CONC f South Carolina" by Robert Mills published in 1826, the first settlers were named "M'Crery 2 CONC , Green, Hannah, Abernathy, Miller, Beard, King, Mitchell, Coffee, Gisham, Barton, Young, McC 2 CONC lure, Adams and M'Daid." 2 CONT There is evidence that the McCrarys appeared before the Governor of South Carolin 2 CONC a to petition for land as early as August 5, 1755 when John McCrary requested a grant of 10 2 CONC 0 acres of land "by virtue of his 'family right', as he had two persons in his family for who 2 CONC m he never had any warrant of survey or Grant of land in this Province". While this land wa 2 CONC s never recorded, this John appeared several times later to receive additional grants that we 2 CONC re recorded. 2 CONT As with most colonists of the time, a church was soon built. In the "History of th 2 CONC e Presbyterian Church in South Carolina" by Howe, published in 1870, it says"About 1764 Messr 2 CONC s. Joseph Adair, Thomas Ewing, William Hanna, Andrew McCrary and his brothers united in build 2 CONC ing a house of worship. In 1766 they were visited by Mr.Duffield, Mr. Fuller and Mr. Campbell 2 CONC --afterwards by Rev. Hezekiah Balch, who advised the people to choose elders. Andrew McCrary 2 CONC , Joseph Adair and Robert Hanna were elected elders and were ordained by Rev. Balch." 2 CONT Land records of the time from the South Carolina Archives, name four McCrary's obta 2 CONC ining land in this area. Andrew McCrary received 200 acres in Berkley Co. on Duncan's Cree 2 CONC k in the fork of Broad and Saluda certified on 5 Feb 1763, and Robert McCrary received 200 ac 2 CONC res in Berkley County on Duncan's Creek. The Precept was granted on 7 Dec 1762, and the surve 2 CONC y certified on 5 Feb 1763. Thomas McCrary received 200 acres alongside Andrew and Robert cert 2 CONC ified on 15 Dec 1765 and granted on 10 July 1766. Payment was to commence two years from date 2 CONC . And lastly John McCrary exhibited a memorial for 150 acres in Berkley Co on a branch of Eno 2 CONC ree called Duncans Creek (3 ft wide and 4 inches deep of running water) certified by surve 2 CONC y 2 Feb 1773 and granted 11th of Feb 1773. 2 CONT From these records and other information, it is believed that these four McCrary' 2 CONC s were brothers who came to South Carolina along with their sister Ann who married Benjamin K 2 CONC ilgore. While there are no other records that have been found that establishes the name of th 2 CONC eir parents or their exact relationship, the evidence certainly indicates a strong family rel 2 CONC ationship. What is known is that these individuals soon settled in, worked very hard and bec 2 CONC ame prosperous well respected citizens. As described in Howes' History, the settlers dresse 2 CONC d in hunting shirts, leggings and moccasins adorned with buckles and beads. The hair was club 2 CONC bed and tied up in a little deer skin or silk bag. Sometimes they wore their hair cued and ro 2 CONC lled up in a black ribbon or bear's - gut dressed and dyed black. Later, it became the custo 2 CONC m to shave off the hair and wear white linen caps with ruffles around. The women wore long-ea 2 CONC red caps, Virginia bonnets, stays, stomachers, quilted petticoats, and high wooden hells. The 2 CONC re was little market for produce except to other new settlers. Trade was carried on in skin 2 CONC s and furs. Deer and beaver skins were a lawful tender in payment and debts. During this tim 2 CONC e the McCrary's often served in defensive militias to protect the colonists from Indian attac 2 CONC ks. It is said that Ann McCrary Kilgore was killed by Indians while riding a horse holding he 2 CONC r small son. Possibly due to their scotch-Irish ancestry McCrary's also took a firm stand aga 2 CONC inst the British. And because of their activities, left many records and stories of their tri 2 CONC als and deeds during the Revolutionary War. While we are sure that this was a very traumati 2 CONC c event in their lives, we, as descendants, are most fortunate to have so many clues as to th 2 CONC e type of people we can claim as ancestors. 2 CONT Anne McCrary married Benjamin Kilgore ca 1764 in Duncan's Creek South Carolina. Sh 2 CONC e had one known child named James Kilgore born May 29, 1765. Family history has that she wa 2 CONC s killed and scalped by Indians on April 21, 1766. James Kilgore Sr. later remarried Keziah G 2 CONC reer. James Kilgore Jr. lived in Greenville Co.. 2 CONT Thomas McCrary Senior was born about 1737. It is believed that he was born in Irela 2 CONC nd and emigrated with his brothers around 1750 to Pennsylvania and from there settled in Dunc 2 CONC an's Creek. He married Letitia Brandon, known as Lettie, the daughter of George Brandon and s 2 CONC ister of Colonel Thomas Brandon who fought at Ramseur's Mill, Musgrove Mill, Blackstock, Cow 2 CONC pens, and King's Mountain. Col. Brandon's outstanding leadership won him the rank of Genera 2 CONC l by the end of the war. The Brandon family came from Pennsylvania to Duncan's Creek. 2 CONT Thomas and Lettie had 11 children who lived to be adults. They are: 2 CONT 1. Elizabeth born 1755 who married George Young.

Catherine McCrary. 2 CONT Thomas McCrary Sr was an openly avowed enemy to the British crown during the Revolu 2 CONC tionary War. The story below was found, however the source is unknown. Now it so happened tha 2 CONC t the Captain of the Militia was much of a friend of King George and to show his loyalty to t 2 CONC he Crown he ordered out the company for muster, and after the usual drill he lined up the me 2 CONC n with front face and made a very loyal talk to the company and then to show how many were fo 2 CONC r the Crown, he gave command for all who were loyal to the Crown to step four paces to the fr 2 CONC ont, and at the word of command every one stepped forward except Thomas McCrary Sr. who was f 2 CONC irm in his convictions: at that moment went up three cheers for King George, with hats waivin 2 CONC g over their heads, and one of McCrary's kinsman by marriage was so jubilant in the hat gyrat 2 CONC ion that it escaped from his hand and flying high over the heads of the hundreds of 2 CONT on-lookers finally falling at the feet of some who were not favorable to the Crown nor its fr 2 CONC iends-the kinsman sought his hat, and grieved because it was not--and, he returned home witho 2 CONC ut a hat. This little incident shows the real spirit of the times. This incident it seems sti 2 CONC mulated McCrary to prepare to join the rebel forces, and the first move was to make safe hi 2 CONC s money before leaving; his wife and son Thomas Jr. must know and see where the money is hid 2 CONC ; and so with augers of proper size he bored holes in the great pine wallplate, just under th 2 CONC e boards, and with wife and his son Thomas he filled each hole with money and drove pegs in a 2 CONC nd smoothed them over, and soon he was off to the army and remained during the seven years. T 2 CONC he Tories, however, knew of this money: so a company of them made it a specialty to look afte 2 CONC r this same. They searched but did not succeed in find: they thought to have Thomas Jr. to sh 2 CONC ow them where they might find the cash, but he stoutly refused: then they bound him acros 2 CONC s a log and laid many stripes across his bare back until the blood gave testimony what the To 2 CONC ries were doing; again they demanded to know of the money, again Thomas Jr. said he would di 2 CONC e before he would tell: then the lash fell fast and heavy upon the bleeding back of that yout 2 CONC hful hero--demand after demand was made--and as often refused by him. Now the mother, like al 2 CONC l loving mothers, could not bear to see the brutality longer, 2 CONT she cried, cease your cruelty, come and get the money, only spare my boy. They got the money 2 CONC , and Thomas Jr. was released: his mother washed the wounds and nursed him to health. And a 2 CONC s soon as he was able he joined his father and fought the British and Tories until peace wa 2 CONC s made; but his hatred for the Tories lasted to his death (1836). 2 CONT Again the wife of Thomas McCrary Sr. displayed much nerve, and decision of purpos 2 CONC e on other occasions. The British came to her home, carried her feather beds in the yard empt 2 CONC ied and danced upon the feathers, making merry of the destruction of property which brough 2 CONC t the crimson on her cheeks and fierce resentment in heart, and a red-coat private approache 2 CONC d her with reproaches and insults and no sooner done, then she up with the fire-tonges and ca 2 CONC me near breaking his back. The cowardly fellow tried to shoot her but his captain forbade suc 2 CONC h an act, saying that so brave a woman should never be killed by so mean a coward; on the sam 2 CONC e day the British showed still further their disposition to destroy the property of the rebel 2 CONC s. An officer ordered Mrs. McCrary to make soup of the generative organs of the chicken hen 2 CONC s on her premises.The old lady complied washing the same in very filthy slop water hoping t 2 CONC o get revenge 2 CONT for her losses. 2 CONT The story of Thomas Senior continues because we know he was taken prisoner by the B 2 CONC ritish and held on Edisto Island. Letitia rode down to the prison and bargained for his relea 2 CONC se by promising that son Matthew would fight on the side of the British. Thomas Brandon ran i 2 CONC nto his cousin Matthew in the battle of Kings' Mountain. In his memoirs, Thomas recalled th 2 CONC e incident and said that he told Matthew to get a gun and fight and Matthew replied, he coul 2 CONC d not. It appears he threw away his British issued rifle in order to not assist the British i 2 CONC n fighting his own family. 2 CONT We have also found Thomas Senior's name on documents as part of the Little River Re 2 CONC giment. Thomas McCrary's will is on file in the South Carolina Archives.
