Hugh Hamilton and Robert Hamilton were brothers. Both were among those excommunicated from the Hopkinton Church. From Sumner Gilbert Wood's Ulster Scots and Blandford Scots page 153: "A complete list of the Hopkinton excommunicates will be of interest, for it comprises the major part of the real nucleus of the Blandford settlement--not absolutely all of it. The dates of their joining are appended: Robert Cooke, William Dunaghoi, Robert Hambleton, Robert Huston (all 1724), Hugh Black, Mrs. Hugh Black (1725), William Henry (1727), Matthew Blair, Sarah Montgomery, Robert Black (1728), Jane Wark, Rebecca Wark (1729), James Montgomery, John Hambleton, Adam Knox (1730), Israel Gibbs, Mary Gibbs, Israel Walker (1731), Mrs. Robert Lennet (doubtless meaning Sennett) (1732). Besides these, under the inexplicable date of entry, July 5, 1772 (certainly a clerical error) are the following: Mrs. Robert Cook, Hugh Hambleton, Mrs. H. Hambleton, Walter Steward, Mrs. J.S. Montgomery, Mary Hambleton." Also on page 123: John and Robert Hambleton early went to Rutland where Hugh bought land in 1721. Sumner Gilbert Wood was an excellent researcher, and does cite his sources. Hope this helps. Shalom Peggy J. Knox Descendent Wm Knox of Blandford

Surnames: Hamilton Hambleton Blair Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VFB.2ACI/3459.1.1 Message Board Post: Sally, Thank you for the information. I must admit I believe Robert to be the brother of Hugh Hamilton. Both Robert and Hugh first immigrated to Worcester then Rutland then Hopkinton, Massachusetts from Londonderry, Ireland. I have found Hugh in Blandford, but am unable to determine if the Robert Hamilton in Blandford is the above listed Robert or an offspring. I am looking for some sort of tangible evidence that might bring the four brothers together, who I theorize are James Hamilton of Worcester, Hugh Hamilton of Blandford, John Hamilton of Rutland, and Robert Hamilton. Another interesting family connection is that Hugh Hamilton's son John Hamilton married Sarah Blair sister to Matthew Blair who married Mary Hamilton. Once again thank you.

He served in the French & Indian War-summer and fall of 1757 and also in the War of the Revolution on the Main Guard, under Lieutenent Loomis, in Col. Baldwin's Regiment.
