But would you have any dates or details of the Duke of Hamilton's regiment being in Pictou? Which Duke of Hamilton? Where and when was the regiment mustered? I'm considering the possibility that some of its manpower was drawn from Hamilton estates in the north-west of Ireland ..... which would explain how strands of my family came to the Northumberland Strait in N. S. Sincerely David Mitchell Cape Town, South Africa [email protected] Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Are you related to the Hamilton's of the Hamilton Mill in Pictou County? I wasn't paying much attention but just noticed the name Hamilton. I had blankets from that mill that I gave to a friend as she is related. If you are the same family, I could contact her for you.
