| Notes for Hezekiah HAMMON |
Hezekiah and Anna are living in
Licking Station in 1860, which at that time was in the northern part of
the town that would become Salyersville. Hezekiah enlisted with his
brothers, Benjamin, John Wesley, Jeptha and William Preston, in the Union
regiment forming at Camp Wallace in Louisa, Lawrence County, KY in the
fall of 1861. He and his brothers enlisted 10 November 1861. He was a Pvt
in Company I, 14th Infantry Regiment 10 Dec 1861. He was captured at
Salyersville, Magoffin Co. 30 Nov 1863, one of the five men taken there
when his regiment engaged the Confederate forces.2
According to Bob McQuire, a descendant through Hezekiah's son, Isaac,
Hezekiah died 8 April 1864 of bronchitis while he was a POW in a Richmond
prison Camp. The documents from the National Archives support this
information, but not the information found at the Andersonville Prison
website showing Hezekiah Hamon as a prisoner who was released. It's
possible that Hezekiah was slated to be moved to the notorious death camp,
but was too ill to be moved when "Ft. Sumpter" opened in early 1864. The
roster for Company I shows a Hezekiah Harmon from Company I listed,
however, his widow was granted a pension in 1868 on the basis of the
information from the AG's office which details Hezekiah's death in
Richmond. |

| The census information for Anna's
place of birth differs from Virginia to Kentucky from 1860 to 1870. |
