From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Hamor
     he-ass, a Hivite from whom Jacob purchased the plot of ground in
     which Joseph was afterwards buried (Gen. 33:19). He is called
     "Emmor" in Acts 7:16. His son Shechem founded the city of that
     name which Simeon and Levi destroyed because of his crime in the
     matter of Dinah, Jacob's daughter (Gen. 34:20). Hamor and


     Shechem were also slain (ver. 26).
