I descend from Schuyler Hamilton b 1787 in Nelson/Amherst county. 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.
