There are only two documented descendents of James Hamilton (b 1757 Orange County Va). His son Wyatt whom he lived with in McMinn county and is named in his will. His daughter Elizabeth that married James Dougherty in 1796 in Botetourt county Va. There are others that are believed to be children of James that lived in Russell and Lee counties but there has never been any hard documentation found to prove the link. I have found some evidence that James' parents were Luke and Sussannah Hamilton. James purchased land in Amherst county in 1782 from Luke. In 1787 James (son) and Sussannah (wife) are named in probate record on death of Luke Hamilton in Amherst county. Also in 1787 James sells his land in Amherst that he had bought in 1782. The 1787 date is believed to be about the time that Jame started his westward migration across Virginia that puts in in Russell county by 1810.
