What about a male cousin or uncle? Don't give up. Just this week I was successful in getting my mom's brother (my uncle) to test for her maiden name, my grandfather's surname.   Teresa (Hamilton-Pepper) Rust California    ________________________________ From: Mary Walther <mobo308@msn.com> To: hamilton@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 7:18:23 AM Subject: Re: [HAM] Hamilton/Indian Ancestry Teresa, My two brothers aren't interested and I didn't know if my son would be eligible since he is from the maternal line.

Teresa, I have only one cousin but I can't get him to do the DNA test. Everyone else has passed away. I just wished I would have been interested when I was younger and still had Grandparents. What little I have came from mother and she went with me to do research at the countryseat, she had some names but not much else. How do you get into the Hamilton DNA? I thought that had to be a male. My earliest Hamilton was Benjamin born Aug 1796 in Virginia and died June 29, 1829 in Butler Co, Ky he married a Lucretia ? about 1797 in Va. They were in Shelby Co,Ky before the came to Butler Co. Can't find him in Shelby Co but the deed I found at courthouse for him said was in Shelby Co when bought the land in Butler Co. His last 2 children are the only one born in Ky rest in Va. He may have been married twice, one a guess for the birth dates of the children. Been to the Hamilton/Reed-Reid cemetery about 8 to 10 years ago, HAD pic's of tombstones but in our move from Ohio to here in Ky have lost most of my research. I didn't get everything into FTM, and just can't redo my searches.
