Hamner Ancestors

All the information I have on the Hamner's, I found on the Internet. To say this listing has mistakes in it is probably an understatement. No two people seemed to agree with regard to this family history. Therefore, I took what the majority of you had written about family associations. If there are any Hamner family experts out there, please contact me so I can correct this listing.
