A message about Abner Hamilton, enlisted in the RW War from Augusta Co, VA and is in the 1810 Barren County, KY census. “I have been a member (of DAR) since 1973 and became a member on Abner Hamilton, the son of John Hamilton and Mary Stewart. I think I can submit a supplemental on John Hamilton. Abner married Mary Clendenin, the daughter of Adam/Adams. I am currently trying to establish my lineage from James Stewart/Stuart the father of Mary Stewart Hamilton for membership in Daughters of American Colonists. He was burned at the stake by Indians in Augusta County. I have documentation for the marriage of John and Mary but have to establish her as James Stewart's daughter. John Hamilton was chosen as a guardian of one of the orphans of James Stewart but that is not good enough.” Adam Clendenin {2} 1758 14 July. Camp at Raestown. Letter from Col.
