“Thomas and Susanna had one child born at Lachen before emigrating to America. They arrived on the ship Thistle, 29 Oct. 1730 and soon settled in the Goshenhoppen section of Philadelphia County, an area that later became part of Bucks County. They appear in the records of the Goshenhoppen Church where two children were baptized and also are recorded as sponsors of a child at the nearby Tohicken Reformed Church in 1754. Papers of administration on the estate of Thomas Hamman "deceased" were entered in Philadelphia County in 1755. Records of several of his children appear in the Tohicken Reformed Church between 1755 and 1761. By 1771, Thomas's daughter, Eva Margaret and her husband, Henry Dorflinger appear in Frederick County, Maryland, where they had a son, Thomas, baptized at the Monocacy Lutheran Church, with Georg Hammann and wife Magdalena as sponsors. They were actually living in nearby Loudoun County, Virginia where George Hamman, John Hamman and Henry Darflinger appear in the tax records after 1770. John eventually moved to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.” (Hammons Genealogy Page, Germany, C. Richard Matthews, Internet)
