Do you know a Aaron HAMILTON, son of James & Sarah BROOKS? His son William Henry HAMILTON was born in Preston County and then settled in western South Dakota. I am wondering if he is related to my Tillie, daughter of Clark Hamilton. This WH Hamilton wrote a book "Dakota, an autobiography of a Cowman" about settled the area north of the Black Hills in the 1880 &90's.
