Welcome Steve, I've started digging around in HAMILTON roots---finally connecting through Sarah Hamilton, a sister of John Alexander Hamilton, who married George Acton. Most of my information is from family history. I've not documented much. There are so many helpful people at this site---lots of info at the website---so imagine you'll feel right at home in no time. "Notorious" is one of my favorite words so look forward to hearing more. Afterall, black sheep are people too.
