Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate birth: 1 May 1789, Caswell County, Tennessee
• Alternate birth: 1 May 1789, Guilford County, North Carolina

Notes:

Different sources give different birthplaces for Elisha Hammer, but it should be noted that Caswell County, Tennessee split into Jefferson and Hamblen Counties in 1792.

Genealogy of the Maulsby Family (citation details below) describes him as a "minister" in the Lost Creek Monthly Meeting. Marion R. Hammer (citation details below) calls him "a minister of the Friends church." Other sources call him a "Quaker preacher". Given Quaker aversion to professional clergy, it seems unlikely that he was actually called "Reverend", as some say, but we don't pretend to be experts at all the historical nuances of Quakerism. He was also a miller and owned a mill on Lost Creek in Tennessee.

"Elisha Hammer was a minister in the Friends Church (Quaker) and the second son of Isaac Hammer, and was born in Guilford County, North Carolina, May 1, 1789 and moved to Jefferson County, East Tennessee, where he married Rachel Lewis. They had eleven children, all of whom were born near New Market, Jefferson County, Tennessee. They were Mahlon, Lydia, Seth, Henry, Jesse (the father of the writer, Marion R. Hammer, M.D.), Ira, Aaron, Isaac, Susannah and Polly Ann and for the second time a double name is given to a member of the Hammer family. In the summer of 1846, Rev. Elisha Hammer, with all of his family, with six wagons left New Market, Tennessee, for Iowa. His eldest daughter, Susannah, had married Charles Janeway. She and her family remained but in 1857 joined the family, who had settled in Jasper County Iowa, in 1847. Rev. Elisha Hammer died in Iowa, May 1, 1847. Rev. Elisha Hammer spent the winter of 1846-1847 at Richland, Iowa. He taught shool during the winter in Richland, in the spring of 1847 he and all of his children settled in Jasper County at Amboy Switch." [Marion R. Hammer, citation details below]
