Another needle in the proverbial haystack. There has been a 'HINT' that the Hamiltons of Marion Co., SC area of late 1790s were from the Tarboro NC area. Plus there is a Hamilton Twp east of Tarboro. There was land confiscated from a John Hamilton Company in Halifax Twp/Jacket Swamp area by a John Carstarphen in 1752. Both twps are between Hwy 301 and I 95. Like MANY families, at that time, there were MANY MANY Williams & Johns. My search is for a William Hamilton b/a/1770 with wife Tilitha MANNING, & brother/kin? John b/a/1786 and wife, Martha (NOT Martha GREER). Francis and wife, Lydia. and a David that was in the 1790 census and the War of 1812 that lived in the Liberty/Marion/Dillon area of eastern SC. Some of these families crossed the nearby state line into Robeson Co., NC. Any assistance appreciated. Audrey
