    Notes:

    "Hamelton was born in the Big Rock Creek section and lived his entire life there. He was a farmer, and lived on the land which he inherited from his father. He also bought and sold several tracts of land in this same area. Ham was fun loving, hard working and a gregarious man who loved his family more than anything else. When the Cloudland Hotel was first built on Roan Mountain, he played the fiddle with a band there whenever he got the opportunity. Some of the songs played were: "Boil that cabbage down", "Cripple Creek", and "Turkey in The Straw". His wife was a very staunch woman and considered fiddle playing to be "frolicking", which was to her mind a great sin. A little fiddle playing and banjo plunking around the house was not so bad, but to go play where there might be dancing and no telling what else, was a matter of great concern to her. This difference of belief was not so serious though, and they lived their entire married lives together without serious conflict".
