Surnames: Hammac, Hammack, Hollinhead
Searching for info on my father's sibs. These are children of Henry Z Hammac( 1883-1942 ) and Mary Hollinhead (1891-1960 )
Father was Novie Lee Hammac, Sr. (1912-1981 )
sibs are:
Albert 1909-2002
Celestine(Cellastine )abt 1913
Harley 1916-1981
Bertha abt 1921
George E "Buck" abt 1925

Albert and Buck used the -ack spelling of last name, Novie and Harley the -ac. I believe Bertha may have used the -ac
spelling as well,no info on Celestine.

Henry, Mary, Albert, and Buck are all buried in Canaan Freewill Cemetery ( Barnett Crossroads ). Harley is buried in Mississippi.

Any info appreciated!

Surnames: Simmons, Hammacs
Hello there; I am Sammy Simmons and have been researching the Hammac and Simmons line of my family. I have a good bit of info. on the Hammacs, but did not see any names that jumped out at me in your query. My Grandfather, Samuel Riley Simmons was a stepson to Robert Hammac. Robert married my Grandmother, Frances,and they raised Samuel and later had a daughter named Laura Frances Hammac who married a John Elbert Beal, moved to Pensacola and raised a large family down there. If there is anyone in particular you want to know about let me know and I will try to help you find them. I have been to several cemetaries that have Hammacs buried in them, but there is one that is very, very old, I was told, and I haven't been there yet. The ones you want to know about may be there. I have some more listed that you might be interested in. I have been to one on Hammac Road near Foshiee and there are only about 3-4 that can still be read. There are supposed to be 18 graves there but it has grown up and most of them cannot be found.I have a list of them as well as some other listings that you might find hepful. You can email me at; ssimmons@panhandle.rr.com if you wish to correspond with me.

Sammy, did you see the Forgotten Trails write up in the Brewton Standard about Hammac? the 2nd half had a lot of info about the Beal line.

I'll email you some q's later - very interested in that 3rd
Hammac Cemetery you mentioned.
