Hi John, where did this family originate, and then end up? Sandy Hamilton HAMILTON WOODSIDE BROWN ARMSTRONG

In the past few weeks while working on my own line of Hamilton's of Westmoreland, PA I found a third Hamilton family that lived in Peach Bottom, York County, PA, which might either help or confuse researchers more ! For the mailing list "record" I have documented the family's as Alexander Hamilton b 1785 (?) in IRELAND ,Emigrated to Washington County, Westmoreland, PA in 1793, married Elizabeth Steele (The Steele Family of PA) John Hamilton b 1749 SCOTLAND, Emigrated with wife, Agnes Nancy Rayburn and two children , and Nancy gave birth while on the ship to Third child John Hamilton b 1770.This family first landed in Northumberland, PA in 1770 then settled in Washington County, Westmoreland, PA by 1784. This family ALSO married into the Steele Family of PA James Hamilton b Sep 29,1791 York County, PA, who married Martha Wallace August 23,1799 in York County,PA and had the following children all born in PA John Wallace, James Lot Dixon, Thomas Henderson, Hugh Cunningham, Louisa and Sarah Jane. The family moved to Cabarris County, NC by 1814. All of these family's are well documented, and this third line can be found in the Genealogy of the Descendents of Hugh Hamilton. Please excuse me for any "mistakes" I might have made, I did triple check all sources, and just wanted to share my find. Dave
