I have very little information on our HAMILTON ancestors. Janet HAMILTON who md. John BROWNLEE was the dau of Robert of Burn(brae). A Robert HAMILTON led the Covenanter troops at the Battle of Drumclog Bridge. This may have been Janet's father, but have no proof. There were so many HAMILTONS in Lanarkshire its hard to sort them out. Some sources say that Margaret HAMILTON who md. Archibald BROWNLEE was dau. of the Duke of HAMILTON. I have not seen documentation for this. It should be fairly easy to get the records of the Duke for that period of time. I don't know if anyone has researched this. The Helen HAMILTON who was md. to John BROWNLEE, the 1st Laird of Torfoot, was probably connected to the HAMILTON family that owned the other half of Torfoot. She was not the dau. of Lady Anne Hamilton who deeded the property to the Brownlees. Whether or not the Torfoot HAMILTONS were connected to the Duke's family has not been determined. That's not much help but it will tell you some of who they weren't. Maybe some of you have information on this family. I would also like to know more about them. Betty
