Gregorius Wilhelm Bergman Hammer, born in Farsund and living in Leirvik on Stord, 29 years old, son of Ole Elias Hammer, married Cecilia Jacobsdatter 14 Apr 1864.[1]
I think this might be the same individual as the first 'Philip Wilhelm Hammer' listed as son of Ole Elias.
Lived in Leirvik, Stord, Hordaland, Norway until emigrating with wife and daughter to America in 1866 on the vessel, "Martha", sailing from Bergen 27 April 1866 and reaching Quebec 11 June 1866.

Letter to D.L. Cotton dated 6-21-1988:
Thomas Angell Hammer, born 1841, died in Bergen May 2, 1860. Philip Wilhelm Hammer was confirmed in Bergen October 4, 1863. According to a roll kept by the Bergen enlistment officer Philip Wilhelm was registered as being in America in 1867, and was deleted from the roll in 1870 as emigrated. So Philip Wilhelm emigrated between the Spring of 1864 and 1867. We have indexes to the Bergen-Quebec passenger lists 1865-1873. Philip Wilhelm is not registered there. However we did find a brother:
Tailer Gregorius Peter Wilhelm Benjamin Hammer, age 32, with his wife Cecilie Jacobsdatter, age 31, and daughter Anne Rebekke Angell Hammer age 1 1/2. They lived in Leivrik, Stord parish, but emigrated from Bergen on the vessel "Martha", sailing from Bergen April 27, 1866, and arriving in Quebec June 11, 1866.
Gregorius P. W. B. Hammer, age 29, married Cecilia Jacobsdatter Frugaarden, age 28 1/2, at Stord April 14, 1864. His father: Ole Elias Hammer, his place of birth: Farsun.
Gregorius (or perhaps rather Peter Wilhelm in America) must be the brother of Philip Wilhelm taht (sp) lived in Chicago, and died around 1895.
Philip Wilhelm may have emigrated from Bergen to Germany around 1864, and then to America in 1866, as family tradition states he had been in Germany two years.
Farsund is a town in Vest-Agder county , and the parish registers of that town are kept at Statsarkivet i Kristiansand, Vesterv. 4, N-4613 Kristiansand. Perhaps Ole Elias Hammer and Anne Rebekka did get married in Farsund around 1834 ?
Ole Elias Hammer was the son of Gregorius Sorenson Hammer (born in Jolster parish 1765). Your family can be traced in Jolster back to around 1600.
Sincerely,
Yngve Nedrebo, b.a.
I think Ihave located Peter on the 1870 census for Illinois, Cook, Chicago, 12th Ward (Series: M593 Roll: 206 Page: 203) listed as being age 34 and a tailor, while his wife is listed as being 'Sielu' age 34 and a son, 'Angel' age 6. This wouldmake sense as in the military pension files for Philip Hammer, his widow Mathilda stated that Philip had a brother in Chicago.
