History
Hamill Cemetery currently operates as a registered nonprofit organization managed by volunteers.
The property on which Hamill Cemetery resides was originally owned by Richard R. Tasker, a veteran of the Revolutionary War. This land and surrounding acreage was granted to him by the United States Government in 1798 as compensation for his service during the Revolutionary War. Tasker’s remains are buried at Hamill Cemetery, and his grave is marked just to the right of the entrance. Descendants of Richard R. Tasker and his wife Margaret Tasker include: (a) George Tasker, married Seine Davis, children: Henry and Elizabeth; (b) Henry, married Mariah Harvey, children: Jeremiah, James, Archibald, Elizabeth (Paugh), Emma (Shep); (c) Richard Tasker II, married Harrie Warnick, children: Richard III, Joseph, Solomon, Lena (Harvey), Rhoda (Paugh); (d) Sara (Wilson); (e) Mary (Lee); (f) Martha Tasker; (g) Catherine Tasker.
Henry Hamill was born in Ireland in 1798, moved to America as a young man and purchased this tract of land from Richard Tasker. This area then became known as Hamill Farm and the cemetery became known as Hamill Cemetery. Henry Hamill’s first wife Nancy Hamill died in 1840; he then married Julia Ann Fazenbaker in 1842. Decedents of Henry Hamill include: Archibald C. Hamill, Moses R. Hamill, Annie M. Hamill, Nancy Hamill, Lewis Cass Hamill, Evaline Hamill, Rebecca Hamill, and Edward J. Hamill. The graves of Henry, his wife Julia and many of their ancestors can be found at Hamill Cemetery.
After Henry’s death in 1880, Hamill Farm continued to be owned and farmed by Rebecca Hamill, her son Lewis Cass Hutson and his wife Edith Junkins Hutson and their descendants, until it left the family and was sold in 2001. Although the surrounding farm land is no longer owned or operated by Henry Hamill’s descendants, the 1.2 acre cemetery continues to operate under the name Hamill Cemetery as a registered nonprofit organization.
