Shirley -- Do you know a) when/where James Hamilton died? b) the children of James Hamilton and Mary Ann Coomes/Combs? Ernie In a message dated 11/10/2008 12:47:55 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, shirleymoller@verizon.net writes: Pulled the original and it reads as follows....... 5/8/1750: Lease from Henry Neale of SMC, Gent. to William and Patrick Hamilton of CC, planters, 225 ac., pt. of "Green Springs" in CC for the lives of William Hamilton, Anastasia Hamilton Wife of the said William and Patrick Hamilton. Ann Neale released her dower. (CC Land Rec. Book Z, #2: 424-425). So I would bet the following deed is correct also. 8/11/1768: From John Hamilton, Wm. Hamilton, James Hamilton, and Patrick Hamilton of CC to Samuel Hamilton of CC, planter pt. of "Spye Park", 80 ac. Sarah, Anna Statia, and Mary Anne, wives of sd. John, William, and James relinq. their right of dower. (CC Deeds). William was married, and Anastasia had already died so who else would he leave his estate to? His family.
