    • From what I've collected, some of the Ham's moved from Kentucky (Fleming County) and settled in St. Joseph, Missouri, and Atchison, Kansas.  (That's where my father was born.) 
    My great grandfather was William Perry Ham (Fleming County).  I think his father was James Pleasant Ham (Fleming
    County).  William Perry Ham and Rosa Frommer had 7 children (Lloyd Perry, James Harrison, Mabel Rose, Myrtle, Walter William, Herbert Guy, and Luther).  James Harrison Ham had 3 children (Harriet Virginia, Kathryn Jane, and James Harrison Ham, Jr., my father).
