Hi New Cousin Melissa, My great grandparents were William HAMILTON and Dorothy "Dolly" PAISLEY. William died in 1914 in Linn county Kansas. Dorothy died in 1937, I believe. I have visited the Rice Cemetery in 1983. It was still there just a few miles out of Morning Sun and back in a field. Most of the stones were still in place at that time. I copied the info from them. Andrew HAMILTON died in Bates county Missouri and is buried in Mulberry Cemetery. He has a nice stone that includes Lydia's name but her death date is not there. She is buried there tho. She died in El Paso county Colorado. Melissa, I am so excited about you. Who are your line down from Andrew? Could it be Samuel? Please contact me as soon as possible, I'm not going to be able to sleep.

John Hamilton and Elizabeth Brown Hamilton moved with their 11 children and lived near Morning Sun. John and Elizabeth are buried in Rice Cemetery in Louisa County, Iowa.
