    3. Does anyone have Irish or Scotish source information about Thomas Hamilton, born abt.1800. His father was James Hamilton. Thomas married Izabella (born abt.1802; d.1839?) whose father was also a James. A son, Andrew, claimed birth (18 Feb 1818) in Scotland. Church of Ireland baptismal records show that sons William (27 Feb 1833) and Thomas Wright H. (12 Jul 1836) were born at Tamlaght by Moneymore, Londonderry, and that Thomas was a school master at Kilsally in the civil parish of Ballyclog, County Tyrone. Other sons born in Northern Ireland were James (Dec 1821), John (11 Feb 1823), Goyne (May 1825), Samuel (30 Sep 1831). In the early 1840s, Thomas and some of his sons came to the U.S. Most of them settled in Eaton County, Michigan. Samuel, William, and Goyne relocated to Minnesota, and Thomas Wright to Missouri. James and John remained in Michigan. We have information on most of their descendants. Thomas died in 1879. The sons, Samuel and James, married Campbell sisters, Mary and Eliza Anne, respectively. Mary was born abt.22 Nov 1838 and Anne Eliza in July 1833 at County Antrim. James Campbell (Oct 1831), John Campbell (abt.1826), Henderson Campbell (abt.1837) may have been Northern Irish-born brothers who farmed in Eaton County, Michigan. Their mother may have been Elizabeth born abt. 1800 in Northern Ireland. I will be deeply grateful for any information on the Irish or Scotish origins of these ancestors.
