My family research leads me back to a Sallie Hamilton who according to court records was married to Andrew Hamilton in the Spartanburgh District of South Carolina in October of 1813. She claims Andrew Hamilton was killed in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, War of 1812. They had one son named Andrew Hamilton, Jr. who was born around 1814 in South Carolina. She was trying to prove she was his wife in the court of White County, TN in 1825. I've been unable to find where in South Carolina they really came from. There is also no record of this Andrew Hamilton fighting or being killed in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, I've hit a brick wall. Andrew Jr. resided in White and Putnam Counties of Tennessee his entire lifetime having 8 children. I'm a descendant of his daughter Amanda, she was my gggrandmother. Any information you might have on your line that could connect them with mine would be greatly appr! eciated. Lynne
