Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at Hamner Cemetery in Amity, Johnson County, Indiana.
GPS Coordinates: 39.4143982, -86.0006027
According to the sign, this cemetery was laid out in 1823. In 1836, John Hamner, Sr, a Revolutionary War Soldier. willed this half acre plot to his descendants. Additional ground was donated in 1906. There are 334 interments at this cemetery and, oddly enough, I didn't find any Civil War shield stones. I did find three Revolutionary War soldiers and some from new wars, though. I have found in an obituary that this was also referred to as the Hamner-Kennedy Graveyard.

Our first stop today is at the grave of Thomas Abbett.
Born: 1837
Died: November 18, 1919
He was the son of Elizabeth Warner Abbett (1811-1876/1878) and Thomas Abbett (1797-1849). She is buried in Hamner Cemetery, while he is buried in Youngs Creek Cemetery, Johnson County, Indiana.
During my research, I have come across some conflicting family information for Thomas. I found in one family history where he was the son of the aforementioned Elizabeth and Thomas. The siblings are the ones listed below. Then in another family history, I found him listed as the son of William Abbett (1802-1852) and Mary Ann "Polly" Wolley Abbett (1801-1850). They are both buried nearby in Abbett Cemetery, but they are the only two Abbett's listed. The list of siblings has similarities, but several differences as well. I will note them both below.

He had several siblings (if his mother was Elizabeth Warner Abbett):
James W. Abbett (1822-1896) - unknown
Juliett "Julia" Abbett Mitchell Hamner (1823-1885) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
Mariah Abbett Doan (1828-1862) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
John William Abbett (1831-1903) - buried in Young's Creek Cemetery, Franklin, Johnson County, Indiana
Hannah Elizabeth Abbett Hamner (1845-1919) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
Andrew Jackson Abbott (1846-1924/1927) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
The other siblings he may have had (if his parents were William Abbett and Mary Ann Abbett):
Johnathon T. Abbett (1822-1852) - buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, Franklin, Johnson County, Indiana
John William Abbett (1831-1903) - buried in Young's Creek Cemetery, Franklin, Johnson County, Indiana
Elizabeth Abbett (1835-?) - unknown
Margaret H. Abbett (1841-?) - unknown
Andrew Jackson Abbott (1846-1924/1927) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
As you can see there are a couple of repeats, John William and Andrew Jackson. I first thought that maybe the father remarried, but the dates intersect too much. I am not sure which is correct. If anyone has any information, please let me know.

We now come to the grave of William Boucher.
Born: March 25, 1805/1806, Ross County, Ohio
Died: April 13, 1863, Edinburgh, Johnson County, Indiana
I am unsure as to who his parents were or whether or not he had any siblings.
He has two separate listings on Find-A-Grave, though one has him listed as burial unknown. I do believe that they are for the same person though. I have searched family indexes and haven't found anything to the contrary. I will do my best to get it all listed below.
He was the son of William Bowsher (1769-1848) and Savina/Sabina Smith Bowsher (1771-1826). William is buried in Old Lutheran Cemetery, Adelphi, Ross County, Ohio, but Savina burial location is unknown.

The infant Coffelt graves are all similar in that they are one of the few in the cemetery to retain the footstone. All of set into a slab with the headstone at the top and the footstone at the base. I do not know if that is original or recent.

She was the daughter of William Hobson (1739-1814) and Sarah William Hobson (1742-1818). They are both likely buried in the Dover Friends Cemetery in Clinton County, Ohio. I say likely because there are no headstones but they are on the Monthly Meeting of the Quakers for the Dover area.

Born: November 23, 1814, Kentucky

She was the daughter of Joseph Lash (?-?) and Mary Lash (?-?). I found a Mary Lash buried in Hamner Cemetery, but she was married to James. Not sure if this is right Lash family or not. It seems that it would be, but not positive.
She was married to John Hamner (1810-1889). They were married in either 1832 or 1322 and he is shown on the opposite side of the monument.

He was the son of John Hamner, Senior (1761-1836) and Mary Neubary Wholberg Hamner (1770-1842). They were both born in Virginia and both are buried in Hamner Cemetery nearby. I have found several last name variations for Mary: Neubary (which is listed in a small biography about John), Wholberg (which is listed in an obituary for John), Whoberry (which was found in a family history) and Hobbry (which was also found in a family history).

After Nancy passed, he married a second time to Julia Abbett Mitchell Hamner (1823-1885). Her name is on the side opposite Nancy.
They had no children.
~~~
Here is the grave of Julia Abbett Mitchell Hamner.
Born: September 9, 1823
Died: September 8, 1885
She was the daughter of Thomas Abbett (1797-1849), who is buried in Youngs Creek Cemetery, Franklin, Johnson County, Indiana. As for her mother, all of the links that I can find show that her mother is Elizabeth Warner Hamner (1811-1876). She is buried nearby in Hamner Cemetery, but this would have made her only 12 years old when Julia was born. I am concerned about this connection, but it's the only one that I have found so far.
She would have had several siblings:
She was married twice. Her first husband was Thomas Mitchell (?-1846). They were married on December 3, 1840 in Johnson County, Indiana. I haven't located his burial site.
They had one child:
Mrs. Wilson Henderson (?-?) - unknown
Her second husband was John Hamner (1810-1889). They were married on September 1, 1850 in Johnson County. He is buried with her, his name on one of the other sides of the monument. They did not have any children.

This is the grave of John Hamner, Sr.
Born: January 2, 1761, Mecklenburg County, Virginia
Died: October 28, 1836, Johnson County, Indiana
He was the son of James Hamner (1725/1733-1792) and Sarah Baskerville Hamner (1735-?). Both were buried in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. I haven't located information that points to their burial locations.
He had six siblings, though I haven't got names for all of them:
Sally Hamner Pully (1751-?) - unknown
Elizabeth Hamner Toone (?-?) - unknown
Henry Hamner (1759-1844) - unknown
Mary Hamner (1759-?) - unknown
Rebekah Hamner Burton (1765-1815) - buried in James A. Burton Family Cemetery, Masonville, Daviess County, Kentucky
George Baskerville Hamner (1766-?) - unknown
He was married first to Mary "Molly" Neubary Wholberg Hamner (1770-1842). They were both born in Virginia and were married on December 22, 1790 in Mecklendburg County, Virginia. They both are buried in Hamner Cemetery nearby. I have found several last name variations for Mary: Neubary (which is listed in a small biography about John), Wholberg (which is listed in an obituary for John), Whoberry (which was found in a family history) and Hobbry (which was also found in a family history).
I have found conflicting information stating that they had nine children, but other places state eight children. I only have names for eight at this time:
James Hamner (1793-1880) - buried in Aspen Grove Cemetery, Burlington, Des Moines County, Iowa
Ann Hamner Noel (1795-?) - unknown
Rebecca Hamner Colfelt/Coffelt (1797-1866) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
Sarah Hamner (1799-?) - unknown
Elizabeth Hamner Colfelt/Coffelt (1802-1849) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
Mary Hamner Rogers (1808-1880) - unknown
John Hamner, Jr. (1810-1889) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
George Hamner (1815-?) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
I have also found that he may have been married a second time as his pension was filed by his widow. Her name was listed as Sarah Hamner. That was dated November 7, 1843 in Boyle County, Kentucky.
John Hamner, Sr. served in the Revolutionary War as a Private in Marberry's Company, Burrell's Regiment, Virginia Troops. I did find mention of a Burrell's Regiment in the Revolutionary War Muster Rolls as having been active from 1776-1777, though I have also found it in connection to Connecticut. It's a little difficult to find information as I have searched through Revolutionary War Roster for Virginia and cannot find mention of John Hamner.

I am unsure as to who his parents were or whether or not he had any siblings.
He has two separate listings on Find-A-Grave, though one has him listed as burial unknown. I do believe that they are for the same person though. I have searched family indexes and haven't found anything to the contrary. I will do my best to get it all listed below.
He was the son of William Bowsher (1769-1848) and Savina/Sabina Smith Bowsher (1771-1826). William is buried in Old Lutheran Cemetery, Adelphi, Ross County, Ohio, but Savina burial location is unknown.

She was the daughter of Thomas Abbett (1797-1849), who is buried in Youngs Creek Cemetery, Franklin, Johnson County, Indiana. As for her mother, all of the links that I can find show that her mother is Elizabeth Warner Hamner (1811-1876). She is buried nearby in Hamner Cemetery, but this would have made her only 12 years old when Julia was born. I am concerned about this connection, but it's the only one that I have found so far.
She would have had several siblings:
James W. Abbett (1822-1896) - unknown
Mariah Abbett Doan (1828-1862) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
John William Abbett (1831-1903) - buried in Young's Creek Cemetery, Franklin, Johnson County, Indiana
Hannah Elizabeth Abbett Hamner (1845-1919) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
Andrew Jackson Abbott (1846-1924-1927) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
She was married twice. Her first husband was Thomas Mitchell (?-1846). They were married on December 3, 1840 in Johnson County, Indiana. I haven't located his burial site.
They had one child:
Mrs. Wilson Henderson (?-?) - unknown
Her second husband was John Hamner (1810-1889). They were married on September 1, 1850 in Johnson County. He is buried with her, his name on one of the other sides of the monument. They did not have any children.

Born: January 2, 1761, Mecklenburg County, Virginia
Died: October 28, 1836, Johnson County, Indiana
He was the son of James Hamner (1725/1733-1792) and Sarah Baskerville Hamner (1735-?). Both were buried in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. I haven't located information that points to their burial locations.
He had six siblings, though I haven't got names for all of them:
Sally Hamner Pully (1751-?) - unknown
Elizabeth Hamner Toone (?-?) - unknown
Henry Hamner (1759-1844) - unknown
Mary Hamner (1759-?) - unknown
Rebekah Hamner Burton (1765-1815) - buried in James A. Burton Family Cemetery, Masonville, Daviess County, Kentucky
George Baskerville Hamner (1766-?) - unknown
He was married first to Mary "Molly" Neubary Wholberg Hamner (1770-1842). They were both born in Virginia and were married on December 22, 1790 in Mecklendburg County, Virginia. They both are buried in Hamner Cemetery nearby. I have found several last name variations for Mary: Neubary (which is listed in a small biography about John), Wholberg (which is listed in an obituary for John), Whoberry (which was found in a family history) and Hobbry (which was also found in a family history).
I have found conflicting information stating that they had nine children, but other places state eight children. I only have names for eight at this time:James Hamner (1793-1880) - buried in Aspen Grove Cemetery, Burlington, Des Moines County, Iowa
Ann Hamner Noel (1795-?) - unknown
Rebecca Hamner Colfelt/Coffelt (1797-1866) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
Sarah Hamner (1799-?) - unknown
Elizabeth Hamner Colfelt/Coffelt (1802-1849) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
Mary Hamner Rogers (1808-1880) - unknown
John Hamner, Jr. (1810-1889) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
George Hamner (1815-?) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
I have also found that he may have been married a second time as his pension was filed by his widow. Her name was listed as Sarah Hamner. That was dated November 7, 1843 in Boyle County, Kentucky.
John Hamner, Sr. served in the Revolutionary War as a Private in Marberry's Company, Burrell's Regiment, Virginia Troops. I did find mention of a Burrell's Regiment in the Revolutionary War Muster Rolls as having been active from 1776-1777, though I have also found it in connection to Connecticut. It's a little difficult to find information as I have searched through Revolutionary War Roster for Virginia and cannot find mention of John Hamner.

We now come to the memorial stone for Adam Lash.
Born: 1738
Died: 1825
His stone is interesting because it states the following:
1738- P 1825
Grave Unknown
Jersey
Campaign-1776
Col. McAllister's
Battalion
Gen Green's
Brigade &
Pennsylvania
Arms Manafacture (sic)
10 1779
Blacksmith
I have found his name in the Roster of Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution buried in Indiana. He is listed in Bartholomew County, Joseph Hart Chapter. His record indicates the following:
"Born - About 1738
Service - Enlisted in Amboy, N.J. in June 1776, in Capt. Andrew Pottinger's CO. under Col. Richard McCollister of Gen. Green's Brigade. Discharged Dec. 25, 1776. Re-enlisted in the department for the manufacture of arms and to do blacksmith work. Discharged Dec. 24, 1779. In battles of Long Island, Trenton, Brandywine and Germantown. Was wounded at Germantown.
Proof - His sworn statement made in Bartholomew Circuit Court, March, 1824, found in Civil Order Book A, pp.162-164
Married - and children (four), names unknown"
In the Historical Sketch of Johnson County, it is noted that Adam Lash arrived in Nineveh Township in 1822 along with several others.
I also found in a copy of the Pennsylvania Archives, a signed statement by Adam Lash, dated September 29, 1777, where he denounces King George the Third.
I do know the name of one of his children:
Corporal James Lash (1791-1839) - buried in Hamner Cemetery, Amity, Johnson County, Indiana
Outside of this information, I haven't found anything else for him. He seems to have lived out his life without anyone noticing.

She was the daughter of Jacob Whoberry (?-?) and Elizabeth Whoberry (?-?). I have found no information about either of them. With the variations in last names, it makes it extremely hard to find anything.
She was married to John Hamner, Sr. (1761-1836) and were married on December 22, 1790 in Mecklendburg County, Virginia. He is buried in Hamner Cemetery near her.
I have found several last name variations for Mary: Neubary (which is listed in a small biography about John), Wholberg (which is listed in an obituary for John), Whoberry (which was found in a family history) and Hobbry (which was also found in a family history).
I have found conflicting information stating that they had nine children, but other places state eight children. I only have names for eight at this time:
James Hamner (1793-1880) - buried in Aspen Grove Cemetery, Burlington, Des Moines County, Iowa

"He enlisted in Wilkes County, North Carolina, and served with the North Carolina troops as follows: From May, 1781, 3 months in Captain Pendleton Isbel's regiment and went on an expedition against the the Tories; from September 1781, three months in Captain John Beaverly's company, Colonel Benjamin Harrington's regiment and went on an expedition against the Cherokee Indians, and from February 1782, three months in Captain Finnezee's company of Light Horse. After the Revolution, he resided in Wilkes County, North Carolina, until 1811. He them moved to Butler County, Ohio, where he resided until 1821, when he moved to Johnson County, Indiana."
The article says that nothing is known of his parents, though I did find mention of them and they are listed above. The article also states that the names of his wife and children are not known, but I did find them and they are listed below.

There is a story I have heard since I was a child about the Hamner Cemetery that a black man from Johnson County, Indiana was buried in the Hamner Cemetery when no other cemetery would have him in Johnson County. It must have been in the early 1900s or so. I would love to have help confirming this story. Thank you for all the info and history you documented!
This would be amazing to have more information about. I would love to be able to give his story life. He should never be forgotten. Thank you for stopping by and letting me know.
