As to this question, Is there..."Ham" in Herefordshire, or is there another immigrant to America from Herefordshire prior to 1800? - Dave Hamm *There were other Ham's prior to 1800 immigrating. Not sure of their origin, though I can check.
I am not sure what you are asking here; I have Jeremiah HAM...1734 Parnell HAM who died in Herefordshire1736 BELOW
By the years 1736 and 1800, the cities had long since been named and last names started by the Normans in 1066. By about 1400 it had stuck and they became hereditary. Consequently by the 18th century where a person lived may have nothing to do with their last name. In the ‘New World’ however, there were many places named after the original settlers. Not sure if this helps.
More than half of the Counties of England were omitted altogether - no mention of them whatsoever. What a waste of time this is! What happened to my own County of HEREFORDSHIRE then?
That would be correct. The number of counties where the HAM surname originated from in England are limited.
I have Jeremiah HAM of Herefordshire age 16 in 1734, indentured servant to serve 6 years in Virginia or Maryland. And I have Parnell HAM who died in Herefordshire in 1736.
Is there a town called "Ham" in Herefordshire, or is there another immigrant to America from Herefordshire prior to 1800? - Dave Hamm

The purpose of the trilogy is to show the locations where the HAM(M/E) surname originated.
In the case of England, it shows where and often when the surname was created.
