The following notes provided by Jimmie Dayton MAINS, Sep 2001:
On 6 Feb 1796, John HAMMONDS and his wife, Polly (or Mary) DENNEY, applied for dismissal from the South Fork of Roaring River Baptist Church located near Wilksboro, Wilkes County, NC.However, she died, leaving him with several children, before they were able to leave the area.
John next married Rachel Rebecca JOHNSON who also attended that church.There is no record of the marriage, so it may have been a "Banns" marriage.
The family left Wilkes County, NC, before 1800.John's name is in Lincoln County, KY, Deed Records showing that he bought ninety-five acres on Logan's Creek from Lewis POTTER on 29 Jan 1800.The Deed Record reveals:
"This indenture made this twenty ninth day of January in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred between Lewis POTTER of the County of Warren and State of Kentucky of the one parte & John HAMMOND of the County of Lincoln and State of the other parte.Witnesseth that the said Lewis POTTER for and in consideration of the sum of one hundred seven pounds ten shillings current money of Kentucky to him in hand paid by the said John HAMMOND the receit (sic) whereof is hereby acknowledged.He the said Lewis POTTER hath granted bargained and sold and confirmed and do by these presents grant bargain sell allude and confirm unto the said John HAMMOND a certain tract or parcel of land and being in the County of Lincoln on the South Side of Logan's Creek and is bounded as follows (to wit):Beginning at a White Oak and Hickory on Nathaniel LOGAN's old line, thence with said line South 30 E. 40 poles to two White Oaks (at) LOGAN's old comer, thence North 60 E. 16 poles to two Elms, thence S. 40 E. 26 poles to the mouth of a small Branch to a Walnut & Elm, thence with the meander of the Branch 150 poles to a Black Oak & Ash, thence South 48 E. 60 poles to two Post Oaks, thence N. 34 E. 108 poles to a White Oak, thence N. 5 E. 56 poles to a double Crabtree, thence South 60 W. 128 poles to a Walnut & White Oak, thence N. 30 West 28 poles to a White Oak and Elm, thence with the meander of a Branch to the Main Branch growing (sic) the said Branch, thence with the meander of the other small Branch to the beginning, containing ninety five acres by survey be the same more or less and all the estate site title interest & claim of the said Lewis POTTER in and to said land and premises hereby sold with all the appurtenances to him the said John HAMMOND his heirs or assigns forever and the said Lewis POTTER doth covenant and agree to and with the said John HAMMOND that he the said Lewis POTTER his heirs executers and administrators shall warrant & forever defend said land & premises hereby bargained and sold to him the said John HAMMOND his heirs executers & administrators against all every other person or persons whatsoever in witness whereof the said Lewis POTTER hath set his hand and seal the day and year above written.

The following note provided by Jimmie Dayton MAINS, Oct 2001:
On 4 Jun 1808, John HAMMONDS served on a Jury in the case of "Surry", a Negro Man Slave charged with having committed murder.(Lincoln County, KY, Records, Vol. III, page 443.)
_________________________________________________
Page 121, 1810 Census - Lincoln County, KY, reflects the following information:
"Head of Family:John HAMMONDS
Males:One Under 10 Years of Age; Two Over 10 Years of Age/Under 16 Years of Age; One Over 45 Years of Age.
Females:Two Under 10 Years of Age; One Over 10 Years of Age/Under 16 Years of Age; Three Over 16 Years of Age/Under 26 Years of Age; One over 26 Years of Age/Under 45 Years of Age; One Over 45 Years of Age."
Analysis:
I believe that the older male, John HAMMONDS, was the father of Henry, Abraham and John Johnson (the three male children); Nancy, Sally, and Polly (the three youngest females) and the other three female children (Elliphen, Mary and Rachel).John's spouse, Rachel Rebecca JOHNSON HAMMONDS, was the female Over 26 Years of Age/Under 45 Years of Age. The older female has not been identified.

Page 49, 1820 Census - Lincoln County, KY, reflects the following information:
"Head of Family:John HAMMONDS
Males:Two Over 16 Years of Age/Under 26 Years of Age; One Over 45 Years of Age.
Females:Two Over 10 Years of Age/ Under 16 Years of Age; One Over 16 Years of Age/Under 26 Years of Age; One Over 45 Years of Age"
Analysis:
I believe that John HAMMONDS (the older male) was the father of Henry and Abraham (the two younger males),Nancy and Sally (the two younger females) and Polly. the other young female.The older female has not been identified.It is also believed that the marriage between John HAMMONDS and Rachel Rebecca JOHNSON was dissolved ca 1811-12 and that she moved from his household to marry a man named Joseph HODGES. Their son, John Johnson HAMMONDS, probably accompanied his mother and step-father when they moved. Joseph and Rachel became the parents of Newel Crane HODGES, born 29 May 1813 in Tennessee.
_________________________________________________
The 1830 Census - Lincoln County, KY, does not mention John HAMMONDS as the Head of this Family. Instead, there is a strong indication that he may either have died ca 1820-1830 or moved away before this Census was taken and that the members of his household continued to live together as three separate families.

The following note provided by Jimmie Dayton MAINS, Oct 2000:
Refer to my notes outlined above and others provided for the children of this household.Based on facts and assumptions stated in those notes, I am led to believe the following:
a. The John HAMMONDS family home was located in Wilkes County, NC and relocated to Lincoln County, KY.
b. John's three oldest daughters (Elliphen, Rachel, and Mary) mentioned in the 1810 Census either died, married, left Lincoln County or otherwise ceased to exist prior to the date that the 1820 Census was completed.
c. The marriage between John HAMMONDS and his wife, Rachel Rebecca JOHNSON, was dissolved ca 1811- 12.Rachel Rebecca married a man named Joseph HODGES and they moved to Tennessee.John and Rachel's son, John Johnson, accompanied his mother and step-father when she moved away.
d. John HAMMONDS disappeared after the 1820 Census was taken.The family home became the residence of three family groups headed by Henry HAMMONDS; Abraham HAMMONDS; and Sally HAMMONDS.
e. The unidentified elderly female continued to live in the home and became a part of Henry's household.
f. A younger sister, Nancy HAMMONDS, continued to live in the home and became a part of Sally HAMMONDS household.
g. Sometime during the period 1830-40, the following events probably occurred:
(1) The unidentified elderly female died.
(2) Members of the Henry HAMMONDS household either died, moved from Lincoln County or otherwise ceased to exist.
(3) Abraham HAMMONDS either died, moved from Lincoln County or otherwise ceased to exist. About that time, his wife, Lucy JONES HAMMONDS, moved her family from Lincoln County to Garrard County, KY.
(4) Sally and Nancy HAMMONDS married and left Lincoln County.
