Biography of Adam Hamman, page 616.  History of De Kalb County, Indiana.  
Inter-State Publishing Company, Chicago, 1885.

Adam Hamman, farmer and stock-raiser, section 7, Franklin Township, was born 
in Stark County, Ohio, May 12, 1833, the seventh of eight children of Daniel 
and Saloma (Thomas) Hamman, natives of Virginia.  In 1848 his parents moved 
to De Kalb County and settled on the farm where our subject now lives.  At 
that time it was a tract of uncultivated land.  The father was in feeble 
health, and the greater part of the work fell on Adam.  He was a faithful, 
industrious young man, and was rewarded with good crops, and the 
consciousness of being a comfort and stay to his parents in their declining 
years.  He now owns eighty acres of valuable land, with good farm buildings.  
He has many friends in the county, and, although not an aspirant for official 
honors, has served two terms as Constable.  He was married in December, 1857, 
to Rebecca Curry, daughter of John Curry.  To them have been born ten children; 
seven living---Ida M., Emma C., Ada M., Lydia, Jesse L., Rebecca and Miles.
