Also known as Andy. Recipient of a letter from his sister, Mary Peck, that has several items about the Cockrill family in it.

From "Anderson, Mary, and Amine Hammett" by Herbert J. Boothroyd, in "Kentuckians Who Went That A Way," Kentucky Ancestors, Volume 30-2, 1994, p. 83:

Born near Spartanburg, South Carolina, on 18 November 1799, Anderson Hammett was the son of Jesse Hammett and Dianah Cockrill. With his parents, younger sister, Cockrill grandparents and extended family [including his uncle Anderson Cockrill for whom he was named...], Anderson Hammett came to Kentucky in 1804. He was married in Scottsville in July 1831 to another young teacher like himself, Mary Andrews Nichols. Anderson and Mary, who was born in 1809 near Canandaigua, New York, were the parents of eight children born in Allen County. The youngest, Amine, was born 10 June 1852.

Also a merchant in Scottsville and Allen County coroner, Anderson experienced the failure of his business in the panic of 1837 and again in 1852. In 1855, the family moved to Hardin County, Kentucky, oxen-hauling their belongings over the Louisville Turnpike -- a journey of seventy miles which took five days. Failing in their efforts to reclaim lands bought by Mary's father in the land speculations of 1819, both parents and the three eldest daughters turned to teaching.

Given land in Wisconsin by her brother in 1865, Mary and Anderson and their six unmarried children began yet another move. They went first to Louisville, where they found the city illuminated one night in celebration of the Union's victory, only to be draped in mourning the next day for the assassinated Lincoln. The Hammett family traveled nine days by boat in the company of returning soldiers, down the Ohio and up the Mississippi to near Tunnel City, Wisconsin. There Anderson was elected justice of the peace and was a berry grower with his only son, and the daughters were once again teachers. When his son died young and the daughters began to marry, Anderson Hammett returned to Kentucky in 1871 to live with his daughter Teresa Brawner (1839-1920).

In Wisconsin, the three youngest Hammett daughters married English emigrant weavers, including Amine, who was married to John Boothroyd on 4 July 1875. Mother Mary Hammett made her home with the Boothroyds, tutoring and selling school books. In 1885, Mary moved with the Boothroyds to Iowa, where she died near Rock Falls on 30 May 1891. John Boothroyd, who tried farming successfully enough to retire to the city in 1898, died 17 June 1929; Amine died on 14 January 1933 in Mason City, Iowa.

A further comment on this last paragraph by Herbert J. Boothroyd, to me by letter:

Parents both teachers, and daughters Margaret, Teresa and Victoria, but not Amine. Amine was a mill weaver in Wisc.
