I wish there were a direct Hamilton descendant from my line. 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.

Karen, I usually only research out a couple of generations from the main tree but I do have several Hills linking into my Hamilton line from Virginia. Give me a little more information on your Hill family line and I see if there is a link. fg@hamiltonfamily.net Frank Goodyear -----Original Message----- From: hamilton-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:hamilton-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Karen Hill Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2009 3:07 PM To: hamilton@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HAM] James Hamelton I wish there were a direct Hamilton descendant from my line.
