His ancestor, Ham HyÅk, was a Tang Chinese general who stayed in Korea after Tang China helped Shilla unify the peninsula during the seventh century. Another of Ham HyÅk’s ancestors, Ham Shin, accompanied Kim Chu-wÅn, the founding ancestor of the KangnÅng Kim family, to the KangnÅng area, and hence the Ham clan became the KangnÅng Ham clan. The first prominent ancestor from KangnÅng whose genealogy can be verified is Ham Kyu, the KoryÅ general. Accordingly, he is regarded as the KangnÅng Ham clan’s founding ancestor.
