John: My line is James Hamilton b 1757 Orange County, Va., wife Nancy? b 1750 with children Nathan b 1780, Grayson, Va., Schyler, Elizabeth Doughtery, and Nelson. Is this the same family as yours? My James Hamilton b 15 Jan 1757 Orange County, Va., d 1844 in McMinn Co., Tenn. If there is a connection I would like to share information with you or others.
