Surnames: Hamilton Bruein Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/xFh.2ACEB/3513.1 Message Board Post: I found a partial newspaper clipping of the obituary for Milton Edgar Hamilton - the son of Milton Clark Hamilton and Susan McCort tucked inside the pages of a bible given to Catherine Hamilton by her husband John Bruein in 1856 at the time of their marriage. Catherine Hamilton (b. 1826 Collins Bay, Ontario) is the daughter of Harlow Hamilton (b. 1810 USA). Harlow Hamilton appears to be the son of Clark Hamilton (b. abt. 1780 of Scottish descent but born US). Clark Hamilton died between 1861 and 1869 in Napanee, Ontario. Any items found in the bible have all proved to be family linked and/or important. I don't know as of yet what connection Catherine Hamilton might have with Milton Edgar Hamilton and/or his father Milton Clark Hamilton (and I am currently in the process of obtaining a complete copy of the obituary) but was wondering if you have come across any of these names?
