Individual Details

John Ham

(1774 - 9 Apr 1855)

It's certain that we don't know of all John's children and might not even know of all of his wives. One genealogist believes that Sarah is a child of a wife previous to Leticia. And the census records prove that we don't know of all of the children. Note the multiple gaps in births in the children.
