I have an amazing (to me) success to report. I have been stuck on my ggrandfather "Doll" Hamilton for years. My grandmother (his daughter) died very young and apparently continued contact with the Hamiltons was minimal, so there was little family tradition about the family, and any at all went to the grave years ago. Only a census from 1900 in Williamson Co, TX was available. I thought I had posted him several times, but maybe not, and I had so little to go on. I didn't know his full name or even where and when he died. Anyway, I posted it and a distant cousin contacted me. She, thanks Sue Stepp, had his name, wife's maiden name, city in AR where they were married, and much about both families. She is sending me more she says, and I can hardly wait So, even after years of frustration, it can be done. Now, I am anxious to find out which Hamilton clan he descends from, more about Moores and Hardins, etc. A whole new avenue of research is open. James Adolphus "Doll" Hamilton (1861 GA - ?
