Henry Fitzpatrick bought land from Solomon Fitzpatrick in Lawrence County Indiana on Aug 10, 1821. Oral tradition says that Henry and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick came to Lawrence County from Pennsylvania in 1814.

Henry and James Fitzpatrick were witnesses on a legal document in 1819 in Lawrence County Indiana.

In the 1880 Census Hannah Fitzpatrick Hamer gives the birthplace of both her parents as Virginia; family tradition says both emigrated from Pennsylvania; 1850 census gives Elizabeth's birthplace as Pennsylvania. Kentucky was part of Virginia until it became a state. Frederick County, Virginia, was near an area claimed by both Pennsylvania and Virginia from 1769 to 1785. It was located near the starting point of the Braddock Road. Augusta County, Virginia, also are in this area, as are Ohio, Monongalia, and Yohogania Counties, as well as the Pennsylvania Counties of Allegheny, Westmorland, Washington, Fayette, and Beaver.

Tombstone in Hamer Cemetery, Lawrence County, Indiana, reads: Henry Fitzpatrick, d. 18 May 1831, 60 yrs 9 ms 3ds.

In the Fall of 1835 Hugh Hamer made a trip East to see his family. He stopped in Georgetown, Ohio, to see his cousin, Thomas L. Hamer, son of William Hamer. He may have visited Pennsylvania and New York as well as Ohio. He wrote a letter to Thomas L. Hamer, his cousin, on returning to Indiana. He reported that his brothers were well and the government roads were terrible. His relatives had inquired about Thomas L. Hamer from Hugh when he visited them. He was sorry he was not able to return by way of Georgetown. He was also sorry that his poor grammar had not allowed him to write more often. He bewailed his Hamer pride and hoped Thomas L. had conquered this family trait. This letter is in a collection of Thomas L. Hamer correspondence in the Huntington Library in California.

THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday October 14, 1909,Volume XXXIII, Number 48, Page 5, Column 3, " DEATH’S HARVEST. Fitzpatrick." [Transcribed February 26, 2003 from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.]

The death of Johnson H. FITZPATRICK at Switz City on Sunday of last week removed from that community one of its best citizens and oldest members of the I. O. O. F. fraternity. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church in Switz City Tuesday, October 5, conducted by the Rev. Allen KENWORTHY, a pastor of the M. E. church, beloved by the deceased. The I. O. O. F. and G. A. R., of which he was also a member, assisted in the last sad rites. The deceased was born in Monroe County, near Bloomington, June 26, 1840, therefore, he was aged sixty-nine years, three months and seven days at the time of his death. He was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Dyer RODDICK on August 19, 1863, at to this union were born four children, two sons and two daughters. A son and daughter died in infancy and he leaves to mourn his death the faithful wife and one daughter, Mrs. Ida BOVENSCHEN, of Switz City, and one Ziba FITZPATRICK, of this place. He also leaves a sister and brother and a host of relatives and friends who knew him only to love and respect him. Whenever and wherever duty called, he was always present. At the death of his father he was a mere boy but with the love of a true son he was ever faithful to his mother in helping to care for his younger brothers and sisters at home. He united with the M. E. church in early manhood and he has been connected with that church ever since. He was corporal of COMPANY K, 53RD REGIMENT INDIANA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY in the Civil War. He joined the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Elk Falls, Kansas, in 1872 but afterward moved to Bicknell, Indiana, where he was a charter member of a new Odd Fellows lodge. He was a kind, considerate and loving husband and father, and was always liberal and charitable toward the poor and needy. His suffering had been severe for the past ten months, through all of which he was cheerful, waiting until the last roll would be called, which came early Sunday morning, October 3, when his sprit took its flight to sing psalms with the blessed farewell. We desire to thank the friends and neighbors and the members of the I. O. O. F., for their many acts of kindness during the last illness and burial of our dear husband and father, J. H. FITZPATRICK. MRS ELIZABETH FITZPATRICK, MRS. IDA BOVENSCHEN, ZIBA FITZPATRICK.

[Transcribed 6 Jan 2002 from Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library’s IHS Microfilm Records.] Elizabeth Dyer FITZPATRICK was born May 3, 1846, at Washington, Indiana and departed this life May 22, 1920. She was the eldest daughter of George and Sarah RODDICK. At the age of sixteen she was united in marriage to Johnson H. FITZPATRICK, and to this union were born four children, a son and daughter having died in infancy, and also the husband and father dying eleven years ago. At an early age she united with the M. E. church under the pastorate of Rev. LONG, and has always been a consistent Christian and faithful to her church in so far as her health would permit. With her husband and family she moved to Switz City in the fall of 1879, and has since made this her permanent home. At the time of their coming to the ground where her late home stands there was nothing but a wilderness, and she and her husband cleared the space to build the house. Thus has closed a life of usefulness and devotion to her family. She leaves to mourn her departure two children, Mrs. Ida BOVENSCHEN, of Switz City, and Ziba FITZPATRICK, of Bloomfield; two sisters, Mrs. Mary E. BALLOW, of Bicknell and Mrs. Nettie R. BERRY, of Vincennes; five grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, together with a host of friends and relatives. The funeral and interment occurred at Switz City, Rev. A. L.

We desire to express our sincere thanks to the neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and after the death of our beloved mother. IDA M. BOVENSCHEN, ZIBA D. FITZPATRICK.

Mitchell Commercial. July 1915.

Mr. Henry T. Hamer, son of Hugh and Elizabeth Hamer, born April 7, 1823, at Clifty Mills, Washington County, Indiana, died July 26, 1915, aged 92 years, 3 months, and 19 days. At an early age his father moved with his family to the famous Hamer Hollow, east of Mitchell. He remained there as his father's helpmate until October 10, 1844. At this time he united in marriage with Mary E. Lemon of Claysville, Indiana. Their early married life was spend in Claysville, and from there they moved to the Hamer farm east of town. To this union were born five children, three of whom died in early childhood, and two in early manhood. His wife answered the summons to the better land, Oct. 13, 1898. At this time they were in Kansas where they had been for a number of years. He brought her remains here and placed them in the Hamer Cemetery. He returned to Kansas for a few years, then returned to Mitchell, making his home with his brother, George Hamer, until his death. At an early age Mr. Hamer joined the order of Masons, every principle of which he loved and cherished, believing: " A True Mason, A True Christian". He did not unite with any church until about four years ago when he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. In his illness he gave evidences of his faith in the true Christ, and many times expressed a desire to be released of his suffering, for his sympathy so went out to those who cared for him. He lived to a ripe, old age, having always been blessed with an active mind and body. He was a member of a family of eight children, all of whom have preceded him to the grave, except Mrs. Hannah Burton, his aged and widowed sister, who is in her 91st year. With her he found an open door and made his home for the past nine years. Besides her are her three daughters who helped to care for him, during his stay there, and were present and attentive in his sickness, caring for his many needs. They were assisted by their brother, Mr. Will Burton and Mrs. Nett Hamer, a daughter in law, who was constantly at his bedside. He also leaves three nephews and their families, Mr Frank Hamer of Bedford, Mr Albert and Ralph Hamer of Mitchell, who he loved and cherished and insisted they remain with him to the last. There are three grandchildren living, Mr. Von Hamer of St. Louis, and two grand daughters in the West, and many other relatives and friends join these in tender sympathy for the life gone out at this matured age. Funeral services were held from the home of his sister, Mrs. Hannah Burton, Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Ashby of the Methodist Church, after which the body was placed in the Hamer Graveyard, east of Mitchell. Mitchell Lodge Number 228 of the F. and A. M. had charge of the burial services.

Claysville, Indiana November 1, 1843

J.R. Hamer

Dear Sir, I thought it proper to address a few lines to you as to the respect of going to Salem to school. You can learn as much there as you can at Bloomington or Greencastle. And you would be nearer home and it would be more satisfactory to me as you know that I am fondly thine own. And perhaps if you go off far I may never again see you. But we hope for the better but time flies swiftly and we know not how long we have to stay with those we hold most near and dear. So farewell till my next. Please write. Yours xe, M.E. Lemon

Obituary found in A Study of a Pioneer Village, Spring Mill, Indiana, by William Roy Overlease, gives: Mary Ellinor Lemon Hamer was born in Gallia County Ohio, Jan 14, 1825.

Mitchell Tribune. Mitchell, Indiana. October 1898.

Mary Ellinor Lemon was born in Gallia County, Ohio, January 14, 1825. Her family moved to Washington County, Indiana, when she was two years of age. She was married to Henry T. Hamer, who survives her, October 10, 1844. Four boys and one girl were born to them, all of whom are dead. She united with the Presbyterian church at Lawrenceport in 1856, and was highly esteemed by all who knew her. Her death, by diabetes, occurred at Ottawa, Kansas, October 13, 1898, at age of 73 years, 8 months, and 3 days. Her body was brought to Mitchell and buried in the Hamer graveyard, October 15, 1898.

Tombstone in Burton Cemetery, Lawrence County, Indiana, reads: Alfred H. Burton, 1816-1911.

William [Burton] was married, in Ashe County, N.C., to Miss Obedience Reeves, and in 1826 came to this county, locating on the farm now owned by their son, John W., which they soon afterward made their home, and where nine of their family of fifteen children were born. William was one of the best-known and most prominent of John P. Burton's sons. He was an unswerving Democrat, and represented Lawrence County in the State Legislature. He assisted in many of the early land surveys, and was a useful and progressive citizen. He died September 20, 1846, and his wife July 28, 1853. Several of their children now reside in the county, among whom are Alfred, Allen C., Eli and John W. Alfred was born in Ashe County, N.C., September 22, 1816, and came with his parents to this county in 1826, and in 1842 was married to Miss Hannah E.,daughter of the late Hugh Hamer. To them were born eleven children: Hugh H., Mary E., Caroline O., William, Felix G., Catharine, Alice A., George C., Theodosia, Josephine and Oscar J. Alfred Burton has always followed farming, and is one of the county's most worthy citizens. Eli, brother of Alfred, was born in Ashe County, N.C., October 2, 1822; was united in marriage with Miss Sarah Koons, August 15, 1850. She died June 27, 1877. The following children were born to them: Henry A. and Nancy J., living; Franklin P., Delana, Florence, Eli G., Laura E., and two infants deceased. In 1879 Mr. Burton married Mrs. Elizabeth (Brown) Taylor. Mr. Burton owns a good farm and is a practical and successful farmer and stock-raiser. Allen C. was born in the township in which he now resides, January 12, 1827, and received the benefits of a common school education. September 10, 1840, he was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Holmes, a native of Lawrence County, and to them were born four sons: William S., Joseph R., Zachariah T. and Charles W. Mrs. Burton died February 3, 1854. Mr. Burton was united in marriage with Miss Sarah A. Richards, November 16, 1854. She was born in Jackson County, Ind., in 1830. Six children were the fruits of this union: James B., Alonzo, Sallie O., Indiana, Lydia and Della. Allen C. voted with the Democratic party until the breaking out of the late war, since which he has voted with and zealously labored for the success of the Republican party. He has twice appraised the real estate of Lawrence County, has been one of its Commissioners, and has held other positions of honor and trust. He has given his children liberal educations, and has taken an active and leading part in the advancement of all enterprises that go to build up the country or benefit his fellow-man. He served as Second Lieutenant in Company H, Sixty-seventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry, in the late war, but after one year of active service was discharged on account of physical disability. He has always been engaged in agricultural pursuits, and is one of the county's most progressive and useful citizens.

Clipping from the White River Standard, October, 1850.

Married. On Thursday the 10th inst., by Rev. J.W. Williamson, Mr. Amzi L. Monson of Bedford, to Miss Maria L. Hamer, daughter of Hugh Hamer, esq., of Spring Mill, Lawrence County. "If we were a poet, we should certainly desplay the muses in congratulating the interesting and accomplished bride and the happy bridgroom upon the bright prospects before them, but as we deal only in prose, we must content ourself in the use of plain terms. The bride and bridegroom have our best wishes for the pleasures of a long and blissful life, and the wedding party, who we are informed felicitously enjoyed the festivities of the occasion, we hope may all live a hundred years, and participate annually in the generous hospitalities of Hugh Hamer and his household."

Obituary from clipping.

Dead. Mrs. Harriet M. consort of Mr. Wood and daughter of Col. Hugh and Elizabeth Hamer, aged about 30 years. The deceased leaves four children (youngest 2 weeks). In the consequence of the demise of William B. Hamer during the month of Feb. last, Mr. Wood sold his possessions in the lower part of this county, and removed to Spring Mill, and became connected in business with his father-in-law, Col. Hugh Hamer.

Named after Harriet Montgomery, the wife of Joseph Montgomery, who owned the Mill at that time.

GEORGE W. HAMER was born in Marion Township, Lawrence County, Ind. His parents were Hugh and Elizabeth (Fitzpatrick) Hamer, the former a native of New York, the latter of Ohio. Hugh, as an apprentice to Mr. Hammersley, came to Indiana at an early day. In 1825 he and his brother, Thomas L., rented the mill in Marion Township which still bears their name. In 1831 they purchased it, operating it until about 1849, when Hugh assumed full control, and conducted it until his death, March 10, 1872. While together the brothers also operated a distillery, which Hugh afterward had charge of. From about 1843 to 1858 the family kept store there. Hugh Hamer was commissioned Postmaster at Spring Mill (the name of the postoffice at Hamer's Mill), by President Jackson, and continued in this charge until the building of the Ohio & Mississippi Railway. He was also County Commissioner. Was elected to the Senate and Lower House of the State Legislature, being the first Whig ever elected to that body from Lawrence County. He was a man of great natural powers of mind. In his family were eight children. Mrs. Hamer, widow of Hugh, till survives him, although quite advanced in age. Her parents, Henry and Elizabeth (Johnson) Fitzpatrick, were natives of Pennsylvania; came to Bono Township January, 1814. George W. Hamer was reared in his father's mill and on the farm, receiving such education as the schools of that early day afforded. When twenty-one years old he rented the mill and operated it and the distillery for three years; then moved to the farm where he now lives, where he has since been engaged in farming. He owns 600 acres of land. In politics he is a Republican. He served seven months in the war in the One Hundred and Seventeenth Indiana Volunteer infantry, Company H, acting as Wagon Master. He was married to Miss Priscilla Leach, June 16, 1859. She was born in Lawrence County, September 15, 1843. Their union has been blessed with six children: James F., Harry C. (deceased), Minnie M. (deceased), Ida M. (deceased), George A. and Ralph N. Mr. Hamer is a Mason and is Master of Lawrenceport Lodge, No. 543, F. & A. M.; and is also a Royal Arch Mason.

Cordelia left Thomas L. Hamer with her infant child, leaving the other children with him. He later sued her for divorce and married Eliza Todd.

Residence: 1860, Lawrence County, Indiana

Index lists Cordelia's last name as Munson, rather than Morrison, as is found on the divorce records of March 1868.

Letter to Harrison Hamer from niece, Florence Hamer. Copy in possession of Mary Evans McMullen.

Indianapolis, June 11th (Between 1873 and 1879)

Uncle Harrison, Angeline Evans wants $8.00 on a chain I bought a long while ago ... Nerve Wood wrote the letter asking for the money ... Give my love to Aunt Ann. Tell her I would like to see her ... And give Mrs. Evans the money and oblidge. Florence

His full name is Henry Harrison Hamer. Both Harrison and Ann go by their second names. He was administrator of his brother's (Thomas L. Hamer, Jr., d. 1873) Probate from 1873 to 1879 as found in the Lawrence County probate records. Family tradition says he was killed by robbers on a business trip. He disappears from Lawrence County Indiana Census in 1880. He sold his land and moved, according to the land records. He is found in Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, and Idaho, according to the census and the Civil War pension papers.

Goodspeed's County History has H.H. Hamer a Master Mason of Lawrenceport Lodge #543 of A.F.& A.M. (Masons) in 1877. J.F. Hamer was also a mason. G.W. Hamer was an officer.

Information was found in the old records of the Lawrenceport Lodge No. 543 of Freemasons, for a member by the name of H.H. Hamer... I am assuming that H.H. Hamer is Henry Harrison Hamer. Lawrenceport Lodge No. 543 was located in Lawrenceport, Lawrence Co., Indiana. The Lodge was chartered in 1877 and the charter was annulled in 1888. There was no historical file available for the lodge. H.H. Hamer entered apprentice 1/10/1877; Fellow craft 4/11/1877; Master Mason 5/9/1877; suspended for non-payment of dues 7/30/1879; reinstated 5/19/1880; received Demit Certificate on 5/19/1880, and left. Two other Hamers left this Lodge in 1880.

Tombstone reads: W.F. Hamer, b Apr 6, 1851, d Jan 8, 1884. Database mistakenly says 1861 for birth. Has Masonic emblem on tombstone.

Ottawa Journal Tribune. Ottawa Kansas. October 20, 1881.

Dr. W.F. Hamar, of Lawrence County, Indiana, and son of H.T. Hamer, of this city, has rented office room in Burton block and permanently located here. The doctor is a graduate of Louisville Medical College, and has been in active practice twelve years. He is a valuable addition to our medical society, and we gladly welcome him to our county.

Ottawa Daily Republican. Ottawa Kansas. Monday, January 7, 1884.

Dr Hamer is very dangerously ill; yesterday his life was dispaired of. Today he is somewhat improved. He is suffering from nervous prostration.

Ottawa Daily Republican. Ottawa Kansas. Tuesday, January 8, 1884.

Dr. Hamer's condition was not improved today. He is still in a very critical condition.

Ottawa Daily Republican. Ottawa Kansas. Wednesday, January 9, 1884.

Death of Dr. Hamer. Remains to be Taken to Indiana. Yesterday forenoon it was thought by the anxious friends about Dr Hamer's bedside that his condition was improved, but toward evening his symptoms becoame worse; and all hope was lost. At about 8:30 he died. The remains will be taken to his old home in Indiana, whither the widow and family will go as soon as business settlements will permit. Dr. Wm. F. Hamer was 33 years of age. He was born in Lawrence County, Indiana. Thirteen years ago he married Miss Laura A. Munson, and by her had five children, three of whom are dead. He graduated in medicine at a Medical College in Louisville, Ky., about 12 years ago. He removed to Ottawa, and began the practice of medicine a little over two years ago. He had acquired an excellent and a growing practice, and was a worthy gentleman. Dr. Hamer was medical examiner for the Kansas Mutual, in which company he held an insurance of $3,000.

Ottawa Journal & Triumph. Ottawa Kansas. January 10, 1884.

Died, Tuesday evening, Jan. 8th, of nervous prostration, Dr. W.F. Hamer, aged 32 years. Dr. Hamer came here two years ago from Mitchell, Indiana, and had built up a large practice. The body was sent to his former home today for burial. He leaves a wife and two children.

Mitchell Tribune. April 28, 1934. A brief funeral service was held at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning at the Hamer Cemetery in Spring Mill State Park for Mrs. Antionette Munson Hamer, 82, well-known pioneer woman of this community, who passed away early Tuesday morning at the home of Mr. & Mrs. John Hinshaw, Tulip Street, Mitchell, after a long period of failing health. The service was conducted by the Rev. O.E. Miller. Burial was made in the cemetery which is named for family ancestors who played such a prominent part in the early history of this locality. Mrs. Hamer's health had been impaired for some time, although she had remained active during most of the time. She suffered an attack Sunday, and late Monday afternoon a physician gave her a hypodermic. At 10:30 o'clock Monday night she appeared to be asleep, resting quietly. She was not disturbed during the remainder of the night, the family believing that she was sleeping. When an attempt was made to arouse her about 7 o'clock Tuesday morning, it was found that she was dead. It is thought that she quietly passed away in the late hours of the night. She was born in April, 1852, to Mr. and Mrs. Amzi Munson, in Mitchell. Her mother was a daughter of Col. and Mrs. Hugh Hamer, early residents of Spring Mill village. Her father was one of the noted proprietors of the village during the days of its important activities. She was married to Dr. Frank Hamer, who for some time was a practicing physician at Lawrenceport. He later practiced in another part of the country, and the family then went West. Dr. Hamer died many years ago. Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hamer, a daughter, Stenia, now dead, who was wife of the late John M. Wells, and a son, Vaughn Hamer, who lives in Tennessee. Mrs. Hamer was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and was active in the affairs of the church. The nearest relatives surviving are two cousins, J. Frank Hamer of Bedford, and Ralph Hamer of Mitchell.

Bedford Times Mail. 4-27-1934. Mrs. Antionette Munson Hamer passed away at midnight last night at the home of her niece, Mrs. John Hinshaw in Mitchell. While she had been in failing health for some time she was able to be up and about the home and the attack that carried her away was sudden. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning, probably at the Mitchell First Presbyterian church, in charge of the pastor, Rev. Roth, with burial in the Hamer Cemetery in the Spring Mill State Park, two miles East of Mitchell. She was identified with the Hamer family, one of the most prominent pioneer families of the county, being the grand daughter of the late Col. Hugh Hamer of Spring Mill. She was born eighty years ago to Mr. and Mrs. Amzi Munson in Mitchell, the latter of whom was the daughter of Col. and Mrs. Hugh Hamer. In her early womanhood she was married to Dr. Frank Hamer who preceded her in death many years ago. To them were born two children, Stenia, now dead, who was the first wife of the late John M. Wells, and a son, Vaughn Hamer, who lives in Tennessee. She was very proud of her Hamer lineage and was interested in the traditions of the families of the Hamer name. She was one of the regular attendants at the Hamer Family Reunion held on the Sunday preceding Labor Day of each year. She had often made long visits in the home of her cousin, J. Frank Hamer in this city, and knew many here who will learn with regret of her passing.

Bedford Times Mail. 4-28-1934. Funeral Services for Mrs. Antionette Munson Hamer, widow of the late Dr. Frank Hamer, who was found dead in bed at the home of her niece, Mrs. John Hinshaw, Tuesday morning, in Mitchell, were held at the Clements Funeral Home Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, with the Rev. J.V. Roth, pastor of the Presbyterian church officiating. Short services were held at the grave in the old Hamer Cemetery, now in Spring Mill State Park. Her connection with the pioneers of that locality was recalled and her fine qualities of character commented upon. The service concluded with a prayer, after which the remains were laid away by the side of her husband who had passed away a number of years ago. Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Hamer of this city, cousins of the deceased, attended the services.
