My Ellison HAMILTON and family and his son James Alexander HAMILTON were in 1840 York Dist. SC, 1850 Anderson County, SC and by 1860 were in Hall county, GA. James went back to Pickens Dist to marry his wife Melinda Ann MOORE in 1859, after they went into Hall county, GA. Does someone connect to these HAMILTONS.? thanks chris okchris@earthlink.net .. Only a Genealogist regards a step backwards as progress. Chris
