       Now back to my direct line to Odin (215-) Notice how the last names begin with “de” which means “from” Vielles, Beaumont, or Hamilton, etc. which was the name of the town they were from. Finally the “de” was dropped and the different spellings of Hambleton, Hambeldone, etc was changed. David Hamilton was the first to establish Hamilton as the family name.

      Laird Sir David FitzWalter fitzGilbert deHambeldone was the father of:

      DAVID HAMILTON (1333-1392)

       SIR GEORGE FIRST BARONET DONALONG HAMILTON (1607-1679) m. MARY BUTLER (1605-1680)

       Queen Elizabeth’s successor was James I (1603-1625). During the reign of James I, a colony of Scots removed from Argyleshire, and formed a plantation in the north of England near Londonderry. This became a favorite project with them to re-people those countries with a protestant population. They encouraged people from England and Scotland to come to Londonderry. The coast of Scotland is within twenty miles of Ireland. They consisted mostly of Presbyterian churches in Ireland which were formed in 1613. Two clans, the Alpine and the Argyle, began persecuting one another. To avoid this persecution, many fled, some to what would become the United States. The Scots believed they should maintain the religion of their fathers. When the Charleses and James II endeavored to establish the Church of England over Scotland by great persecution, and to force the position of a clergyman of high rank as a bishop upon them, many sought asylum in remote regions across the ocean.

      COL. JAMES HAMILTON (1628-1673) m. ELIZABETH CULPEPPER (1636-1709)

       JOHN B HAMILTON (1650-1702). m. MARY (1650-1704)

       He was one of the first family settlers in Massachusetts. He was the son of Col. James Hamilton, a clergyman. He was one of whom came with about 100 other families to Massachusetts, with The Church of the Barony of Glascow, Scotland, led by their pastor Rev. Robert Abercrombie. They settled in Pelham, Massachussetts, while some settled in Worcester, Massachusetts. In an attempt to erect a house of Worship, it was entirely demolished by a mob, on account of religious persecution. So they moved to Pelham, in Hampshire County. They were surprised to hear themselves called Irish, a term they greatly resented.

       Doctor John B Hamilton became a Surgeon General at the head of the Marine Hospital Department, located in Washington, D.C. He was known to be a genuine Hamilton, of a class of people of sterling integrity, industrious, and frugal, honorable and honest, never heard of as one committing any punishable offense.

       Doctor Hamilton was said to have a trunk half full of manuscripts for a history of the Hamilton family in the United States, but the trouble is, his services were too valuable to the world to allow him any time for arranging and writing out such a history.
