Hamilton was born in Leshmahago, Rogerhill, Lanarkshire, Scotland on Feb 16, 1831. He came to the U. S in 1841 on the ship Columbus,with parents, Robert and Catherine. They lived in Penn. for a short time and then went to Trumbull County, Ohio. Gavin went to New York where he became a minister in the Presbyterian Church. He married Catherine Simple in 1865. Their children were R. Andrew, Mrs. Robert Watson. There is a possibility they had two more children Catherine and Annie or one could be Mrs. Watson They lived in Rochester, N. Y. I am also interested in Catherine Semples family from Scotland.
