    • FROM HIS OBITUARY: "He was the son of John Taylor Hammond and Hilda Bailey Hammond of Pleasants County, West Virginia, who soon after their marriage there, moved to Pike County, Missouri, where John William Hammond was born, and when three years old, in 1849, he, with his father, mother, older sister Mary, and younger brother Hugh, moved overland by wagon to Sacramento City, California, where his mother soon after died. He remained there until fourteen years old, spending much of the time with his father at goldmine camps, and also at a cattle ranch there. When fourteen years of age, they returned east by way of Central America and Panama to New York City, thence by way of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to Columbiana County, Ohio, where he and his brother were placed with an uncle , Thomas Hammond, on a farm where they worked and went to school for about two years, and then returned to their father on a farm in Pleasants County, near Grape Island. ... In 1874, he, with his family, moved to Israels Fork, Grant District, Doddridge County, on a farm he purchased there, where they remained for five years. ...
