Abidja Clinton Hammonds - Harvey Gilliam

Sue writes;

Patty,

I hope someone in Scott County recognizes this family.  I don’t seem to be able to connect with anyone who might have information.

This is a picture of Abidja “Bige” Clinton Hammonds.  I was told the large gentleman with him is his uncle Harvey Gilliam.  Would like to know if this is Harvey Gilliam or one of  “Bige’s” other uncles.  “Bige” died at age 22 leaving a wife and 14 month old son.  His mother was Louisa (Louisiana) Gilliam daughter of Elizabeth D. Carter and Jesse L. Gilliam.  His father was Marion L. Hammonds, son of  Nancy Williams and Anderson Hammonds.

“Bige” was born in 1886.  The 1890 census was burned and he died July 4th, 1908, therefore, he appears in only one census, the 1900 census when he is living with  a member of the Gilliam family.

The picture has J. S. Osburn, Artist – Blackwater, Va., Written on the bottom.

Thank you for publishing all these old pictures.  They are really a joy to see.

1846 Muster Roll for 124th Va Infantry Commanded by Hezekiah P. Neal
Sheila

I was contacted by a dealer in Historical documents who has the original Muster Roll for sale. The picture here shows enough to see it is authentic, however not large enough to read. The transcription is below the picture.

124th-muster-roll-comd-hp-neal.JPG

There are 70 names on the muster roll. It is entitled “A list of the commissioned and staff officers, belonging to the 124th Regiment Commanded by Hezekiah P. Neal, at Estillville on the 14, 15 & 16th days of April, 1847 and the Regimental Muster at the residence of George Vineyard on the 17th day of April, 1847.
