Marriage Notes
The marriage date is uncertain for William and Jane. Some have reported them
born about 1828, in order to account for a child Elijah Hamrick born about
1828. I have not found any evidence to tie this child to this couple.
A NC marriage record reports a marriage of William B Hamrick and Jane McSwain,
which would appear to be our William and Jane, but the year is 1939, well
after the documented birth of several children whose ages in the 1850 and 1860
censuses would have the oldest born in 1830.

William B. Hamrick
Spouse: Jane Hamrick
Marriage 17 Nov 1839 Rutherford County, North Carolina
Source: County Court Records at Rutherfordton, NC & Family
The ceremony could very well have been performed in York County, SC, as one or
more sources report, with the record filed in Rutherford Co, NC. The Mcswains
had family just 5-10 miles over the border in York Co, SC, and Louis H McSwain
was a pastor there. The records for both were held in Ruitherford County,
since there was Court House in York County for a long time.
