It is believed that the person who wrote the old William Hamm bible was Calvin or Emilla Hamm.. It was done all about the same time and I believe that it was done right after 1866 and before the deaths of either William or Rachel Hamm. BIRTHS Wm.

I assume that the person responsible for these entries died or moved at that time. I have always thought that Calvin Hamm b. 1820 or his wife Millian (Milly Ann) Springer is the writer and I know they left Izard Co., Arkansas and returned to McNairy Co., Tenn. about that time.
