Surnames: Hamilton, Wise Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/5541/xFh.2ACEB/4499 Message Board Post: Seeking information about the ancestors of Thomas Hamilton. He married Elizabeth Wise in 1821 in Belmont Co., OH. In the 1840's they moved with their children and children's families to Gallia Co., OH where they both died in the 1850's. The only clue we have to Thomas' origin is in the 1850 US Census where he is listed as being born about 1799 in Maryland. Elizabeth's family (Wise) was originally from York Co., PA which borders on Maryland. Does anybody have any information about Thomas and how his parents might have been?
