WILLIAM HAMM BIBLE PAGE
(Bible published 1849)
copied by Sybil Hamm Taylor

The Bible is in the possession of Sybil Hamm Taylor, a direct of William Hamm. It is believed that the person who wrote the old William Hamm bible was Calvin or Emilla Hamm. It was done all about the same time and I believe that was done right after 1866 and before the deaths of either William or Rachel Hamm.

The last entry in this bible was in 1866 and most of it was done in a
beautiful script. I assume that the person responsible for these entries
died or moved at that time. I have always thought that Calvin Hamm b.
1820 or his wife Millian (Milly Ann) Springer is the writer and I know
they left Izard Co., Arkansas and returned to McNairy Co., Tenn. about
that time.

HUGGINS & HAMM FAMILY BIBLES

It was quite by accident that I found these Bibles. I found them in August 2000, in the home of an 88 year old cousin. They were big books, depth about three inches but the publication date could not be found. They had been stored in a shed and the woodworms had eaten the binding loose and damaged most of the pages. Thankfully, someone had put the Family Sheets in plastic sleeves which gave a little added protection. The pages were very dim and in a few years would have been useless. For years Huggins Cousins had searched for the matriarch of our line and now we can give Jane Morris our homage. Nancy Wardlow Kennedy
