Hi Sandy: I'll share any information I have, however I don't have any information from South Carolina Hamilton's, I have only seen reference to them on some of the web sites I have visited. I actually have nothing documented outside of Virginia. What name and time period are you looking for? My Hamilton's were in Nelson County Virginia and Augusta County Virginia.

My line goes into the Hamilton line at least three generations back and I descend via a Female line. If every I find a male that can be traced to my line I will definitely try to get them to contribute. I have seen many references about an Andrew Hamilton from Augusta County Virginia going to South Carolina and then somehow a few children go back to Virginia and I even think I have seen a couple going to Ohio. Its interesting that your line ends up in Russell County, I have other adject lines that end up in Russell, Tazewell and Buchanan Counties, however those lines came from the Virginia/North Carolina line of Stokes County. Wonder if something attracted families to go to this area? as it would have been frontier back then.

Schuyler's father is thought to be James Hamilton b Jan 15 1757. This James had a son James born 1775. I do not have any additional data on this son. There was a Robert Hamilton of about the same age as James (1757) and may have been a brother. This Robert is documented as remaining in Nelson county until mid 1820s. I have not searched the Hamilton's that remained in Nelson county after about 1800 since James and Schuyler left around 1790 and end up in Russell county Va. by 1810. I have a document that shows both spellings Hamilton and Hambleton in the one document talking about one individual. So the spellings were considered interchangeable. Hamilton is the Scottish version and Hambleton is English spelling. If you know of any Hamilton males that are descended from your James, PLEASE consider joining the Hamilton DNA project. This could definitely indicate if there is a direct male link between our lines.
