I haven't posted this information in a while, so I thought I would give it at least one more whirl: Still searching for information on James M. Hamilton of Lincoln Co. TN. He was b.c. 1778-80(my est.)in SC and d. bef. 1830 in LCT or AL. His wife's name is unk to me, but she may have had some connection to one of the Bledsoe families of LCT. This couple had at least the following children: 1. Sarah("Sally")Hamilton b. abt 1803 SC; marr. Thomas Coats in LCT abt 1825. Children: Lewis, Louisa, Thomas J.(my Gg grandfather), John, Jesse, and James. 2. Jacob Hamilton, b.c. 1799 SC. Marr. Eliz. Campbell in AL about 1821-4. Children: Wm, Alexander, Eveline, Andrew, Mary Eliz., James, Nancy A., Christopher. 3. Daniel Christopher Hamilton, b.c. 1810 TN/SC. d. abt 1857 in Al. Marr. Nancy______. Children: Luvin/Loving(male), Wm, Robert, James, Sarah(Sally), John, Christopher. 4. James M. Hamilton Jr.(?). He was b.c. 1808. He married, but apparently relocated to Gibson Co. TN bef. 1850. These Hamiltons were initially settled on/around Kelly's Creek in LCT, however, Jacob and Daniel C. later moved their families into Madison Co. AL. Some of Daniel C.'s family later moved on to Navarro Co. TX. I also have a note that Jacob was in Hopkins Co. TX by 1870(however, I have not yet verified that the Hopkins Co. Jacob is identical with Jacob b. 1799). If anyone can provide any clues to the parentage of James M. Hamilton(or has the names of any of his siblings), please contact me. Regards to all, and special regards to Nancy Sicotte and Kenneth Smith....hope you are both well. Larry D. Hamilton Coats
