That reply was fast.grin I haven't had a chance to get to Woodruff County yet.. Just last week I found some contacts with my line that sent me the note about Robert Hamilton visits.. as to the being related: Don't know but who knows somewhere down the line we may connect.. My Robert D. Hamilton disappeared from the Livingston County,Ky.census in 1880. He is the oldest of three being born in Livingston in 1837 or close.. His father is John G. Hamilton of the same county and state.. believed to have come from other parts of Ky. not sure.. Was trying to verify some information on this W.P. Ray who married Sarah Hamilton, Roberts sister. in 1869 in Ky. W.P. Moved to Woodruff Co. about 1895 or so. and later to Jackson County,Ar. Have more if it would help you any... and in a little more detail... Bill Ray Helena, Arkansas
