My Hamilton family line landed in Monroe County and migrated after the Civil war to Allen Parish, Louisiana for logging. In the same area in Lousiana, there is a small community called Reaves and it is located with in 10 miles or less of where my family moved. I have confirmed that several Monroe County Families moved together to this location. Perhaps tracing the Reaves line would also lead you there as well.
