Queries regarding the HAM surname
state=OH, IA
County=Belmont County
TimeFrame=1825-1860
My paternal great grandfather's name was John Ham Sullivan COLEMAN. His
father, John COLEMAN was born ca. 1805 in Ohio (county unknown) and died 1863
in Scott Co., IA. I am not aware of any marital connections to the HAM family.
But my great grandfather may have been named after an associate of his
father's, perhaps a military superior, named John Ham SULLIVAN who was a
resident of Belmont Co., Ohio in the mid to late-1800s. There was also a
Dr. John Hamm of Chillicothe, Ohio who lived in the Belmont Co., Ohio area
for a time. Any information regarding the genealogy of these men and possible
connections between the COLEMAN and HAM families would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
