 | I have no definite proof nor have I personally done any research of Stephen's ancestors. Although several people believe the line is as follows: Jerome Ham Sr., Jerome Ham Jr. , Samuel Ham, Edward Ham, then Stephen Ham. I will include the information submitted to me by others below , but will not include them on my web pages as ancestors until I have further proof & documentation. I can not say whether they are correct or incorrect, but others can further research this information. |
Many thanks to all who have contributed. Please let me know if I have failed to give the credit due. Most of the footnotes I put on the bottom of John and Stephen's pages. I will be continually updating and adding items.
If you have any further information on either the Hams or Martins, please feel free to email me mailto:JKM47@aol.com
