Benjamin Hamrick (II), son of Benjamin Hamrick (I) and Mary Sias, was born in Faquier County, VA in 1755. From the military pension records I have on Benjamin (II), he appears to have first served in the American Revolution as a minuteman, then enlisted in the Virginia Line of the Continental Army, which he served throughout the American Revolution. Benjamin's pension records show him to be at Great Bridge, at the capture of Trenton, NJ Dec. 26, 1776, battle of Princeton, NJ Jan. 3, 1777, at Brandywine Creek Sept. 11, 1777, and wintering at Valley Forge with General George Washington. He married Nancy McMillian/McMillion while on leave in the Fall of 1779. Nancy McMillian/McMillion was the daughter of John McMillian/McMillion and Martha Palmer, born in Faquier Co.
After the Revolution, they moved to the Cherry River, which is now Greenbrier Co., WV. In 1796, they moved to Birch River in present day Webster Co., WV, then finally to what is now Braxton Co., WV, where Nancy died on a branch of Strange Creek between 1829-1833. Benjamin died in what is now Webster Co., WV. He is buried in the Hamrick Cemetery on the old Bergoo Road at the foot of Point Mountain.
