About Christina Baughman Hamman
Christina Cook's father Valentine built Cook's Fort on the Greenbrier River in Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1770. She first met Phillip Hamman when he arrived at the fort five years later. At the time, he was twenty-five and she was twelve. Five years later the two were married.
Cook's Mill, also known as The Old Mill and The Greenville Mill, is a historic gristmill and sawmill and national historic district located near Greenville, Monroe County, West Virginia. The district includes one contributing buildings and two contributing structures. The main mill building was built in 1857 on the original stone foundation and site of an earlier mill built in approximately 1796. It is a 2 1/2 story, plus basement, hand-hewn post-and-beam building, with massive timbers pegged at their mortise and tenon joints. The district also includes the dam, mill pond, tailrace and stream. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. This is near the original site of Cook's Station (Fort) built by Valentine Cook in early 1770s. This was the sight of the first marriage in that county, of Phillip Hamman and Christina Cook in 1780. He is known as Savior Of The Greenbrier for his run, along with John Pryor, to warn the Greenbrier settlements in 1778 of an impending Indian attack.

Polly (Born 8/1/1785 died October 1872) ** See comment about "Mary Hamman".

Valentine C. (August 15, 1802 – c. 1861)
The family moved from Virginia to Montgomery County, Kentucky in the early 1780s. Hamman and his wife, along with many of their younger children, moved to Alabama between 1821 and 1823.
GEDCOM Note
As to the kniship with noted CAPT. JAMES COOK
During recent years many have questioned about our Hamman kinship claim with Capt. James Cook, who was England's greatest explorer. Way back in ECHO 10 in 1978, it tells that Christina Cook wed Phillip Hamman, SR, and that Valentine Cook Sr. was her father. In Oren F. Morton's famous history book, HISTORY of MONROE COUNTY, VIRGINIA writes that "Valentine Cook Sr and Jacob Cook were sons of John Hamilton Cook of London, who was a cousin to the celebrated Capt. James Cook." In still another book, quoting valentine Cook, Jr the noted American minister of the Gospel, and graduate of Cokesbury College in Baltimore, MD. and first Methodist missionary sent West across the Allegheny Mountains, says that his mother, Christine Cook Hamman was a "cousin of Capt. James Cook". He being a minister, his statement is taken as authenic truth. I have in possession, a sheet of 50 U.S. stamps to honor Capt. James Cook. Half of the sheet has the portrait of Capt. James Cook, who in 1778 discovered Alaska and the other 25 stamps show a picture of Capt. Cook's noted ship used in his exploration when he discovered Hawaii, where he was killed by wild savages when he pulled ashore to trail inland a bit. It is said that they thought he was a man of the devil and in fear they killed him. A monument is today erected on the spot where his shipped docked. Yes.....all you Hammans....you are kin to Captain Cook
