Notes |
- Sitha Hammett arrived in Georgia about 1767, with her husband, Robert Hammett Sr., and several children.
They settled in the Wilkes County community. The Hammett family's ownership of the land on which the Battle of Kettle Creek occurred gave Sitha the opportunity to aid the wounded, pass information, and physically assist in the battle.
- Served 1779, Georgia's Roster of the Revolution, Lamar Knight, P. 264; "Story of Georgia and Georgians", Gilmer, listed as a Soldier of the Line.
