Hi Vanette; I really do not know. however some of the siblings to Frances went to AR, MO, and KS, so it is quite possible the Hamiltons went also. Guess the best place to look is the census, I know they were still in Pike Co., 1860 census. This is all I know about them. If you have info or come across any new info I would appreciate it. thanks Always, Imo Descendants of Jonathan Hamilton Generation No. 1 1. Jonathan1 Hamilton was born ABT 1831 in IL..
