Connie, In the 1900 census of Cumberland, living at # 3 Prospect Street is the following Hamilton family: Lewis born October 1851 in Maryland; RR Manager; owns home free of mortgage father born North Carolina mother born West Virginia Sarah born September 1862 in Mass (parents born Mass) married 20 yrs one child Bertha M - daughter born July 1881 in Mass Daniel T Baker - servent 1862 Virginia Martha Coleman - servent 1848 Virginia Given the address, I'm sure this is the Lewis Hamilton who bought the house you mentioned. In 1880, Lewis & Sarah are in Brooklyn, NY. Hopefully this is enough information to see if this is your Lewis or not. Carol

Thank you, Carol, for the help. This isn't my Lewis Hamilton, darn it. He was born at and lived in Oldtown and he did have a few acres out on Warrior Mountain. Hugs, Connie
