REVOLUTIONARY WAR PATRIOT
COL. ANDREW HAMPTON
b (about)1713 - d 1805
A son of Col. Andrew Hampton was thought to be
Ezekiel Hampton Sr. Now evidence, such as Col. Andrew Hampton's 1805 will suggest Ezekiel's father may have been a cousin, also named Andrew, of Granville Co. (far north/central NC) who moved to Georgia.
The Gravesite Marker Stone incription of Col. Andrew Hampton reads as the following:
