If anyone is researching HAMILTON or RIST surnames in Fulton Co., I found a great biography of GEORGE W. HAMILTON, son of John and Barbara (Rist) Hamilton. George born Fulton Co, IL, and raised by his grandfather JACOB RIST after the death of his parents. George settled in Pottawattamie Co, Iowa, and I have a biographical history of that co with George listed in it. E-mail me at MonaNAriz@AOL.com if you have any interest. This book, by the way, lists many people who migrated into Iowa from Illinois.
