Terry, I have asked my brother, John David Hamilton if he would take the DNA test and he has agreed to do this. I will send an email to Gordon Hamilton and give him the information he will need. I spent a couple hours reading the DNA information that was available on the web sight and although it was a tough item for me to understand I finally got the consensus of what they were talking about. I read over the names of the ancestors that were listed and I didn't find any of my ancestors mentioned in the study. Our line was supposed to have come from Ulster Northern Ireland around 1749/50. This Hamilton was named Thomas and he was married to Jane McCracken. Thomas and Jane Hamilton had at least three sons, Thomas JR, James and Robert. Let me know what you find out.

I am very interested in the Thomas and Jane McCracken Hamilton family. Did they live in New Jersey or Pennsylvania? I am looking for the parents of a James Hamilton; father possibly Thomas Hamilton. James was born in Scotland about 1725, lived briefly in Ireland where he married, then moved to the US, entering through Germantown, in Philadelphia. He lived for a time near Trenton, New Jersey before moving to Mount Bethel, near Easton, Pennsylvania, where he appears in tax records from 1761 until 1784 when he died. He had a son Thomas in 1752 by his first wife, then married Susannah Newman in 1759. (Information from Steve Newton: [email protected]) I am also interested in the DNA project and will send for the kit for my husband to use, as his is the Hamilton line.
