Register Report for Ollen Hammonds
Generation 1
1.
Ollen Hammonds-1 was born in 1807.
Notes for Ollen Hammonds:
General Notes:
There are no records which substantiate a relationship between Ollen Hammonds and preceding
generations of Hammonds in North Carolina. It has been suggested that he was a brother of Elkanah
Hammonds but this is doubtful since Elkanah was an orphan and was bound (apprenticed) as was the
custom with orphans. Ollen, who was younger than Elkanah, was not bound (apprenticed) and
apparently grew up with his parents. According to Ray Chavis, a Lumbee family researcher and
descendant of Elkanah Hammond, Ollen Hammonds was the son of John Hammonds (Ray Chavis,
personal communication), but there is no documentation of this relationship. Others have identified
Ollen as Alanson, one of the sons of Willis Hammond, but records show that Ollen and Alanson were
different men. The parentage of Ollen is suggested in the 1860 census, in which Judy Hammon, age
70, was listed in the household of Ollen Hammon. It is likely that Judy Hammon was Ollen's mother.
1831, August 17, marriage bond for Ollen Hamons and Sylvia Roberts; bondsman was Newsom Terry
Note: Newsome Terry was the son of Luntsford Terry and his wife Sarah Newsome; the Newsome
family and Roberts family in Robeson County were probably related through marriage but the details
of relationship are as yet unknown
1831, Ollen witnessed marriage of Eleanor Hammonds to Burch or Birch Jacobs
1833, Ollen was named father of a child; Ishmael Roberts and Dred Roberts posted bond
Note: The child was George Washington Hammons, and the child's mother was Pernella Lowry
1837, Ollen was listed as taxpayer in Capt. Blount's District; owned 90 acres worth $50; 1 white poll
1838, Ollen Hammons and Ishmael Roberts posted a bond for marriage of Susan Jackson and Jesse
Parker
Note: In 1822, a bond was posted for marriage of Susan Roberts and Thomas Jackson. Susan
Roberts married, first, Thomas Jackson and, second, Jesse Parker
1838, Ollen purchased 90 acres from Shadrach Howell, Clerk of the Court. "patent granted to
Jonathan Roberts the 24th day of November 1813 and sold by Duncan McAlpin, Sheriff, to John
Brown and from him to Joshua Parker, from Joshua Parker to the said Jonathan Roberts and from
Roberts to the said Shadrach Howell"
1838, Ollen sold 90A to James McNatt. The beginning patent had been granted to Jonathan Roberts
on 24 November 1813 and sold by Duncan McAlpin, Sheriff to John Brown and by him to Joshua
Parker and from Joshua Parker to the said Jonathan Roberts and from Roberts to the said Shadrach
Howell
1842, Ollen Hammons and William Roberts posted a bond for marriage of Nelson Roberts and Aliss
Hunt
1856, Ollen posted bond with Hardy Bell for Eliza Bell and Nelson Smith

Notes for William Hammonds:
General Notes:
1850 census, Southern Division, Robeson Co, August 10, 1850: William Hammond, age 18,
occupation laborer, was listed in the household of his parents Ollen and Silva Hammonds
1850 census, Southern Division, Robeson Co, August 19, 1850: William Hammons, age 16,
occupation laborer, was living in household of Sally Bell.

age 22; Simor Bell age 14; Amos Bell age 13; Patsy Woodall age 26; William Hammons age 16;
Angus Harden age 17; Michael Smith age 45
Probably the William Hammons who along with Harlee Baxley posted $200 bond for Mary Hammons
in 1857
Probably the William Hammond charged in April 1858 with fathering a child with Elisabeth Baxley. He
was ordered to pay $25 by August 24, 1858 and $10 a year for the child
Probably the William Hammons listed on the 1858 Saddletree community tax list, Ten Mile Swamp,
Capt. Barker's township, 100 acres, value $125
Probably the W. Hamons, age 29, carpenter, in the 1860 census who was head of family consisting of
the following Hamons: Joshua age 21, Kitsy, age 3, and John, age 9 months. The value of William's
real estate was $180, and the value of his personal property was $100.
Possibly the William Hammons who was administrator of the estate of Alfred Chavis in 1873.
Note: Alfred Chavis' wife was Phereby Hammonds, daughter of Elkanah Hammonds and Orra
Roberts Hammons, and William's parents were Ollen Hammonds and Silvia Roberts Hammonds.
The exact relationship of ElkanahHammonds and Ollen Hammonds has not been documented.
Elkanah Hammonds was an orphan [father deceased or absent] and since he was older than Ollen
Hammonds it is unlikely that they were brothers. The exact relationship of Orra Roberts and Silvia
Roberts has not been documented, although both must have been descendents of Ishmael Roberts.

county's oldest citizens and a farmer. Informities of old age was given as the cause of death.
Betsey Baxley daughter of Barnabas Baxley and Ann Blount was born in 1830.
Notes for Betsey Baxley:
General Notes:
Perhaps Betsey Baxley was the same person as Elizabeth Baxley who bore a child in 1859 for
William Hammonds.
Betsey Baxley is the only person named Betsey or Elizabeth Baxley who was single when the 1850
and 1860 census were taken.
Perhaps Betsey Baxley was the same person as Elizabeth Baxley who married Thomas J. Capps on
April 4, 1861 in Robeson County, NC; A. D. Brown, J. P.; witness William H. Hartman, Clk.
Betsey/Elizabeth Baxley, who was listed as single in the 1850 and 1860 census records, was not
listed in the 1870 census; perhaps her absence from the census in 1870 was caused by her marriage
to Thomas J. Capps in 1861 and change of surname
There are two entries for Elizabeth Capps in the1870 census, Howellsville Township, Robeson
County, NC:
Page 8 of 192
County, NC:

Elizabeth Capps age 35; Mary Capps age 8.

Capps. Willism Capps (brother of Thomas J. Capps) married Eliza Baxley in 1860 in Robeson
County.

12:15 o'clock at the home of his son, Doyle Hammond, near Allenton, cause of death being old age.
Deceased is survived by two sons, Doyle and Dawson, and one daughter, S. Brown, near Lumberton.
"Uncle Sam" was known the county over and well thought of by old and young, white and black. He
had been a great church worker for the past 35 years and at all times you might meet "Uncle Sam" he
had a kind word to speak for his God and Maker. "Uncle Sam" had been staying with his son Doyle
since the sad death of his beloved mate, "Aunt Morrah", who died the 5th of March this year. He will
be missed by all who knew him, especially in his home church.
Deceased was 87 years old and was a true soldier in the Civil war and fought to save his country.
There is a link broken in the family that no man can mend.

Indian Brings In Still He Thinks Caused 4 Deaths
Will Hammonds Takes Still He Says Belonged to His Brother, Sandy, Killed in February
25-Year Trail Of Crime
Will Hammonds, one of Saddletree township's best Indians, brought to the office of Sheriff P. S.
Kornegay Wednesday a copper liquor still which he says belonged to his late brother, Sandy
Hammonds, also of Saddletree, and was, he thinks, responsible for 4 murders in that section within
the past few years.

Finding the cap 2 weeks ago, Will Hammonds brought it to the office of the sheriff and continued his
search for the still, which he found in a bay back of the house of his late brother Tuesday. The worm
was also found in the bay the same day. The still was shopmade of good copper, 15 or 20 gallon
capacity.
Sandy Hammonds was killed February 12 by his nephew, James Hammonds, who is a son of Will.
James drew a term of from 10 to 15 years in the State prison for this killing. All the evidence was that
Sandy Hammonds was drunk.
S. A. Hammonds, Jr., nephew of Will and Sandy, is serving a term in the State prison for killing James
Hunt on March 1 of last year in the same section Will Hammonds says that liquor that came from this
same still was the cause of this homicide.
Other killings which he attributes to the same outfit are: John Oxendine kiled by Hub Hammonds 7 or
8 years ago; Emory Hammonds killed by Henry Hammonds during the administration of Sheriff R. E.
Lewis, several years ago.
The still has been operating in that community for 20 or 25 years, Will says.

James Hammond Awarded Parole
Among prisoners granted parole by Gov. Ehringhaus yesterday was James Hammond,
Robeson county Indian, convicted at April 1933 term of court of killing his uncle, Sandy
Hammond, with the latter's pistol in a drunken struggle, and sentenced to serve 10 to 15
years. The parole was recommended by various officials of the county, including Solicitor
T. A. McNeill, who said this was a case "of pure manslaughter, bordering on involuntary
manslaughter", and that "in addition to a good many neighbors of the dead man, his
brothers are of the opinion that he brought this trouble on himself and was responsible for
it and are desirable that the parole be granted."

Closing Exercises of the Indian School at Joe Branch
Fairmont, R.F.D. 3, March 24 - The Indian school of Joe Branch closed Friday, March 10th. The
exercises began promptly at 10:30 o'clock with song, "Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown" by the
students. First on program was a special review of a few branches of their studies by the pupils, after
which came recitations and dialogues and music on the organ by Miss Angelin Ceila, singing led by
Mr Frank Jacobs, after which one hour of intermission was given for a basket picnic and
refreshments. After this a march was formed back to the school building and the exercises were
concluded.
The closing of the school brought sadness upon the hearts of the students. The people all seemed to
enjoy the exercises of the day. Among the visitors were Miss Bertha Hunt and Mr Theodore Hunt,
students at the Indian Normal School at Pembroke.
The school was conducted by Prof. S. A. Hammond as principal and L. W. Jacobs as assistant, who
labored hard for the benefit of the school and the boys and girls have made great progress. We are
proud to say that we had a nice time, and were praised by all the patrons. The closing song was
"God be With You Till We Meet Again". We hope to meet again Monday after the 2d Sunday in
November, our regular time of beginning.

Surprise Birthday Dinner In Honor Of Mrs Hammonds
A surprise dinner party was tendered Mrs S. A. Hammonds, at their palatial new home, Lumberton R.
1, last Friday evening. Led by Misses Bertie Thomas and Mary Hammonds, the affair had been kept
secret, except to near relatives and a few intimate friends.
Preparation for the fantastic occasion had been in the making for many days, and when, on Friday
morning, the preparation of the dainty meal and the decorations began in real earnest at the
Hammonds home, one of the young ladies announced that that was to be her wedding day, and that
the bridegreeom and minister, along with certain invited guests, would arrive that evening. Mrs
Hammonds believed the story, somewhat complaining that the matter had been kept from her till the
very last minute. However, becoming reconciled to the matter, she placed her entire household at the
disposal of those preparing the "wedding feast".
At nightfall, a host of relatives and friends began to arrive, and the number increased till the house
was full. About 7:30 p.m. young voices were heard in the yard, and a fine group of little boys and little
girls - mainly grandchildren of the one to be honored - marched in, bearing a large birthday cake,
handsomely and studded with candles. They were lustily singing, "Happy Birthday to You". Friends
followed, bringing many beautiful presents, including silverware, cut glassware, fine imported linens, a
magnificent electric lamp-stand finished in imitation pearl and gold, along with various other
handsome and useful articles. But not until the little ones had arrived with the cake and the song did it
dawn upon Mrs Hammonds that the occasion was all in her honor.
Following the presentation of the gifts and some reminiscences by the husband, Rev. S. A.
Hammonds, the guests were invited into the dining room where tables were loaded down with a most
sumptuous feast of good things to east. The food had been well prepared, was most bountifully
served, and was in great variety. The large birthday cake was at the center, its candles burning
brightly. Mrs Hammonds was asked to blow out the lighted candles with one breath, which she did.

brightly. Mrs Hammonds was asked to blow out the lighted candles with one breath, which she did.
The social hour following the dinner was highly pleasing to every one present. Congratulations and
good wishes were heard on every hand as the guests departed.
Rev. S. A. Hammonds is one of our well-to-do Indians, and is conceded to be one of the most
successful farmers in Robeson county.
Following is a list of those present: Members of the immediate family - Rev. and Mrs S. A.
Hammonds, Misses Bertie Thomas and Mary Hammonds, Mrs Beulah Hammonds, Mr and Mrs
Hartman Hammonds, Mr and Mrs John Brooks, Mr and Mrs Charlie Hammonds, Mr Sherlock
Thomas; others present - Mrs L. T. Chambers, Miss Esther Gessford, Rev. and Mrs M. C. Lunsford,

and Mrs DeWitt Locklear, Mr Laxton Hardin, Mr Paxton Hammonds, Mr William Loyd Hunt, Mr Harry

Neal Hammonds, Geraldine Hammonds, Docie Mae Hammonds, Bertie Lee Hammonds, Gladys
Hammonds, Maggie Lois Brooks, Margie Lois Hammonds. Also present were Masters Charlie Roe
Hammonds, Douglas Hammonds, Earle Brooks, Judson Hammonds, Loyd Ander Hammonds.
"In December of 1967, the church (Ten Mile Center Baptist Church) was under construction when one
of the beloved members died. With much improvising, the first service held in the new church was the
funeral of Mrs. Sara Margaret Hammonds. Since Mrs Hammonds had served on the building
committee for many years and had expressed hopes that the church would be completed in time for
her funeral, the group felt it fitting to carry out her wishes." (Reference The History of Burnt Swamp

Obituary - Oliver Hunt

Page 48 of 192
This is in rememberance of my dear father Oliver Hunt who died Sept. 26, 1930. How kind and true
was father to us children and home. There will never be any one to take his place. Our home is dark
and lonely now; home will never seem like home any more because dear father's gone.
Father always did his duty in his home and his church. He was a true member to his church. Father
always taught us the heavenly way which was for our good, and I feel that father is at rest. The night
father passed from this world to an unknown world, there was heard the most beautiful music right at
the side of his bed that we have ever heard. But father is gone and will never be in our home any
more. But I feel like that while it is our loss it is heaven's gain.
Dear father you have left us
For that heavenly home above,
Safe in the arms of Jesus
You are free from toil and care.
Oh that dear one, how we loved him,
Oh how hard to give him up.
But an angel came down for him
And removed him from our flock.
Home will miss thee, darling father.
We will miss thee from they place,
Shadows over our life is casting
We will miss thy shining face.
Oh we loved him, yes we loved him
But the Savior loved him more,
He has called him home to heaven,
To the bright and shining shore.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Father's gone to live with Jesus
In that bright world up above,
But we hope some day to meet him
In that land of endless love.
His daughter,
Leola Hunt
Card of Thanks
We wish to thank our many friends for their kindness and sympathy shown us during the sickness and
death of our death father and husband, and especially those who were so kind to always lend a
helping hand. So may the blessing of the dear Saviour rest upon you all.

Dudley Hunt Commits Suicide At Home Near Back Swamp
Indian (illegible word) Shot Gurn on Self With Deadly Effect - Threw Trigger With a Stick - Had Told
Wife That He Was Going To Kill Himself
No Inquest Necessary
Dudley Hunt, Indian, about 60 years old, committed suicide Saturday afternoon about 2 o'clock at his
home 7 miles west of Lumberton using a (illegible word)-loading shot gun thought to have been
loaded with No. 6 shot.
By the use of a stick and something to tie the gun he managed to throw the trigger while the barrel of
the gun was only a few inches from his heart. The load literally tore a hole almost through his body.
His home is situated on Lumber river not far from the Back Swamp church and it was in the yard that
the shooting took place. His wife and an Indian named Jones were in the house at the time. Hunt
had told them that he was going to kill himself, but they did not attach any importance to his threat
until they heard the gun discharged.
No inquest was held, as Sheriff R. E. Lewis and several citizens went to the scene and found that
there was no sign of foul play, but a clear case of suicide.
Dudley Hunt
Please allow me space in your dear paper to say a few words in regards to our friend and neighbor,
whom we lost July 5th, Dudley Hunt. He was a man that was well thought of by all. He will be sorely
missed in our community. He was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to any one that he
could. He leaves a wife and six children. They have our deepest sympathy.

General Notes:
Generosity of Northern Hunter Saves Life of Indian Boy
Oscar, 15-year old son of Dudley Hunt, a worthy Indian from the Rowland section who
works on Gen. F. A. Bond's place near Lowe, in all human probability owes his life to a
Northern hunter who spent some time recently at Gen. Bond's Huntrs' Lodge. Dr. H. T.
Pope of Jumberton advised Dudley that his son had appendicitis and that it would almost
certainly prove fatal unless an operation were performed. Dudley he said had had so
much sickness in his family during the year that he simply did not have the money to have
the operation performed. The matter came up in the course of conversation among some
Northern hunters at Ge. Bond's and one of them, Mr. A. M. Creighton of Lynn, Mass., said
he would not feel right to let the boy take such a chance when he might be able to save
him, hence he asked Dr. Harry J. Stoll of Wooster, O., who was also at Hunters' Lodge at
that time, to examine the boy. Dr. Stoll confirmed the diagnosis of Dr. Pope and said that
an operation was necessary if the boy's life was to be saved. Mr. Creighton immediately
gave directions that the boy be taken to the Thompson hospital in Lumberton for an
operation, all expenses connected with the operation to be borne by him. Oscar left the
hospital about ten days ago and is now on the road to regaining health and strength, and
the three-weeks' hospital bill of $79 was paid by Mr. Creighton. Others at the lodge
wanted to share the expense with Mr. Creighton but he insisted on being allowed the
pleasure of paying the entire bill himself, reminding others who wanted to contribute that
they might have opportunity of helping some one else in need.
It will be recalled that Dr. Stoll, who is an eminent surgeon, while on a former visit to
Hunters' Lodge performed a difficult operation on a brother of Dr. T. C. Johnson of
Lumberton, who had then been confined at the Thompson hospital for many months with a
badly shattered leg. Dr. Stoll performing the operation without charge.
"How far a good deed shines in a naughty world."

Plane Crash Victim Dies; Family To Honor Rescuer
Robert S. Bryan, the Duke divinity student who was badly burned in a plane crash near Lumberton on
August 19, died Friday night at North Carolina Memorial Hospital...
The family, at the request of Mrs Dorothy M. Bryan, Robert Bryan's wife, has set up an appreciation
fund for Harley McNeill, the Lumberton man who pulled the accident victim
from the burning airplane...
Bryan was pilot of a single engine plane which crashed just at dusk on the edge of the Lumberton
Municipal Airport. Eye witnesses said the plan went into a spin at about 1500 feet altitude and never
came out of it. James McKellar, Jr., of Rowland, a passenger, died in the flaming wreck.
The crash was some 150 yards from the home of Harley McNeill on Biggs road. McNeill's small son
saw the wreck and called his dad who ran to the scene and managed to extricate Bryan from the pilot
seat, rolling him on the ground to extinguish flaming clothing. His act was witnessed by a helicopter
pilot who also saw the crash from a mile away, across the airport, and flew at once to the scene with a
Page 176 of 192
companion and a fire extinguisher.
Harley McNeill, 52, has been employed for several years by K. M. Biggs, Inc. farms as an hourly
wage earner. He moved into his present home in February from a house in the section of southern
Lumberton known as "The Bottoms". McNeill has a ninth grade education acquired at the old Bethel
Hill school which went out of existence when Magnolia school was built. His wife has an eighth grade
education acquired at Magnolia. Their three children range in ae from six to ten. Both parents are
natives of the Saddletree community.
McNeill could only say yesterday that he wished he could have done more...
Councilman Horace Phillips offered a resolution praising heroism of Harley McNeill and George Carr
at the August 19 plane crash on Municipal Airport which took two lives. The resolution was
unanimously adopted by the council...
