Issac Hammitt is in lot B41 about 100 ft away from Captain Daniel Pollard and his son in lot E23. B40 are the McKees. The O'Neils and Coursins are next to the Hammitts. Everyone is at Versailles in Mckeesport just 50 ft from the Lewis and Clark lot C32.
Lots A,B,C,D and E are all on about a 3 acre area and are intermixed. So someone in B lot could be just a few feet from someone in E lot. Everyone seems to be related to everyone else.
I guess General Isaac Hammitt was in the War of 1812. Do you know his history? Col Jessie Sill of the War of 1812 in C99 is next to the Lewis and Clark lot C32.

Captain Enoch Cox had three daughters. Catherine married Capt Daniel Pollard their daughter Mary Cox Pollard married William Woods O'Neil of the O'Neil coal company.
Hannah Cox married Isaac Hammitt Jr. the boat builder who took over his father's yard in Elizabeth, Penn. started by General Isaac Hammitt. Jr and Hannah's son J Muratt Hammitt had the shipyards in Marietta and Harmer, Ohio So Daniel Pollard and Isaac Jr were brother-in-laws. Enoch's oldest daughter Emaline married a Swanger. That is as far as I have traced them but I have a feeling that Roddy ties into J. Muratt.
