Surnames: Alexander Hamilton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/xFh.2ACEB/3211.2 Message Board Post: My grandfather, Alexander Hamilton, married to Helen (Nell) Porteous, was born in 1876. Came from Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland. Settled in Fall River, Mass. area, and worked in textile mills. Father was James Hamilton, I think. Had two sons, Andrew (died at 14), Colin, and my mother Violet. Have not been able to locate any Hamiltons in Mass. Any info you might have would also be appreciated. Connie Hunt
