The John Hrurunond DescendantsWho Livedin illinois
Much of the Information concerning this familywas given to me by FernAmundson of Ne� koosa, who descends fromJohn's son, George. John Hammond was the son of David Hanunond and Susan Hinkley. He was a brother of Nathan and Jonathan Hammond. He is firstlisted on the Cortland County census in 1830, at which timehe gives his age as over 30 but under40, settinghis birth between 1790 and 1799. One of ltis old sons, jonathan, lists Deleware County, N.Y., as his birth place, so no doubt John met and married his wife, Pheoby Smith, there. Pheoby was the daughter of Silas Smith and his wife (unknown) Hoen; stead. Pheoby hada sister, Betsy Smith, who married a John Boughton,a sister Sally, who had3 hus� bands;;John Morrison, Charles Dillinghamand Fillinger Bennett, a brother Barsley Smith and a brother, Silas Smith. John died froma fall. He was working and fdl offa boat. lhis, no doubt, happened after 1840 but before 1850 as the last mention I find of John is on the 1840 census. John's children and marriage are noted on his familysheet. Eban Hammond (born about 1820) married Sally Morse and lived in Boone County, Illinois. See also family sheet for names of his children and their wives. Eben'sson, Owen, was an inventor anddid pretty well. Among other things, he invented a button�holer for sewing machines and a craftsman'S pencil sharpener that sharpened sharper than the ordinary sharpener. The follOWing paragraph concerning Eben's son, Wilbur, was takenfrom the book "Belvidere lliusttated," copyright1896. A picture accompanies the article: Harrunond the Healer, page 167. "Belvidere has been widely advertizedby Wilbur Hammond, the healer whose marvelous cures have astonished all who have heard of them. Many refuse to believe that Hammond can heal by his magnetic touch, but recorded cases of cures stand as evidence. Hammond was bornnorth of the city on a £ann.He has always taken a deep interest in spiritualistic matters. Not untilabout a year ago, did he discover rus power of healing. He goes into a trance and claims to becontrolled by a de� ceased German phYSician. Patientsfrom farand near flock to Belvidere to be treated by the healer." Some of John Hammond's children, after spencting a time in Illinois, went to other states.
