Christina was born in 1763. She passed away in 1842.
Christina Cook, only daughter of Captain Valentine Cook, builder of Cook's Fort, married Phillip Hammon in Cook's Fort. The date of the marriage was March 3, 1780.
Christina (Cook) Hammon was the "Mrs. Hammon" (mentioned in the narrative of William Whitley). She came into Crab Orchard in her linsey-woolsey, wounded in the head with an arrow, after the Jacob Baughman Defeat on the Wilderness Road at the head of Dix River in 1782.
Phillip Hammon, known as the Savior of Greenbrier, made a 160-mile trip during Lord Dunmore's War to warn Fort Donnally of an impending attack by Indians. He was for nine years an Indian Spy and Scout, a Colonial Soldier and a Revolutionary War Hero."
