Victoria, I researched this family thinking My Gr Grandfather was the son of Benjamin(Abraham)Hamilton. It is a very large family where many households had 12 and 13 children. If you have further interest in this family I could forward information to you and provide a contact decended from it. As a point of information only I have your John A. Hamilton as John C. Hamilton b. 20 Apr 1851, d. 25 Oct 1920, M. Nancy Swafford. I also have a John Hamilton marrying Margaret Worthington but am unsure were he fits in.
