Hi, My name is Kris Goszka, I am new to the list and, as per Jeannie's invitation, I am posting my query to the list. I am searching for my HAMILTON line (see below for the early part of the line). I have them back to my 3rd great-grandfather, Samuel Luther Hamilton born 1818 in KY (probably Nicholas Co, KY). Samuel's wife, Mary Grant EWARD was born in Nicholas Co, & they were married in Nicholas Co. It is possible that Samuel went by the name Luther, and that he was a minister. It is also possible that Samuel's parents are Samuel Hamilton & Jane SWINNEY, but I seem to have hit a brick wall beyond that. Any and all help would be welcomed. Thank you, Kris Goszka Warsaw, VA Descendants of Samuel Luther Hamilton 1 Samuel Luther Hamilton b: 1818 in KY . +*Mary Grant Eward b: 16 Nov 1819 in Nicolas Co., KY m: 28 Jan 1846 in Nicolas Co., KY ........ 2 *Samuel Luther Hamilton b: 10 Feb 1847 in Nicholas Co., KY d: Aug 1900 in Buffalo, NY ............ +*Elizabeth Sophia Wheeler b: 1847 in IN m: 25 Aug 1869 in Lebanon, IN d: Apr 1928 ................... 3 Charles Robert Hamilton b: 18 Jun 1872 in Lebanon, IN d: 1954 in Wooster, OH ....................... +Edith Alice Crooks b: 16 Sep 1877 in Columbus, OH m: 3 Aug 1907 in Berea, Ohio d: 1973 in Broomall, PA ................... 3 Fred Atherton Hamilton b: Bet. 1872 - 1875 ................... 3 *Guy Wheeler Hamilton b: Oct 1875 in Lebanon, IN d: 29 Nov 1959 in Monrovia, CA ....................... +*Alice Pauline Ernst b: 2 Sep 1875 in Madison, IN d: Oct 1936 in Madison, IN ................... *2nd Wife of *Guy Wheeler Hamilton: ....................... +Virginia "Aunt Ginny" Webb Sloan m: 4 Sep 1954 in Lawrenceburg, IN ................... 3 Earle Hamilton b: Aft. 1875 ....................... +Lenora ........ 2 John Hamilton b: 1849 in KY ........ 2 Edward Hamilton b: 1855 in IN ........ 2 Mary Hamilton b: 1857 in IN
