Notes
- Sarrett and Hamrick have different dates for Martha, as well as a couple of other children of Lous Hobson and Mary. Hamrick Family has an exact date of birth for Nancy in October 1841, while Paul Sarrett has a year 1844. Paul has Martha born in 1841, while Hamrick data has birth year abt 1855.
Though the dates in the censuses cause the estimated date of birth to vary somewhat, in both 1850 and 1860, Martha appears between Judy and Hannah,

Notice that here Mary (Hamrick) is said to have been born in North Carolina, but in the 1870 census, when they are living a little across the border in York District, South Carolina, she is reported as born in South Carolina! The 1870 census reports that the whole family is born in South Carolina, except for Louis, though family sources report Mary and all children through Mary Caledonia as born in North Carolina.
