1. HANSFORD1 HAMILTON married SARAH HENDERSON.

Children of HANSFORD HAMILTON and SARAH HENDERSON are:

2. i. THOMAS2 HAMILTON, b. 1725, Ireland; d. Aft. 1805, Sumner Co., Tennessee.
ii. HANCE HAMILTON, d. 1778, In Virginia in the Revolutionary War.

2. THOMAS2 HAMILTON (HANSFORD1) was born 1725 in Ireland, and died Aft. 1805 in Sumner Co., Tennessee. He married JANE MCCRAKEN Bef. 1750 in Ireland. She was born 1725 in Ireland, and died 1803 in Hamilton Station, Sumner Co., Tennessee. Notes for THOMAS HAMILTON: The following information was produced by Willie Flowers Carlisle, December 1936: This paper was submitted by Vaden McDonald, cousin and researcher in Georgia.

"The Hamiltons became numerous in Scotland and North Ireland, many of whom immigrated to America in the 17th and 18th centuries. Most of the North Carolina Hamiltons were of Scotch-Irish descent."

THOMAS HAMILTON
"Tracing of Thomas Hamilton has been mostly done through land grants and warrants, for services in the Continental Army, obtained from the Land Grant Office of North Carolina, and from a family history written by a grandson. Thomas Hamilton married Jane McCraken in Ireland. Two children were born and died in Ireland. He and his wife immigrated to America about 1750 and settled in North Carolina. Three sons, Hance, James, Robert and three daughters were born in North Carolina. Thomas Hamilton served in Captain Vernon's Company, North Carolina Troops, during the Revolutionary War. Hance, a physician, joined the army in 1776 and either died or was killed in 1778. A warrant for 4,800 acres of land on the South side of the Cumberland River in Davidson County, Tennessee, was assigned to Thomas Hamilton, Hier of Hance Hamilton, for military Service was entered on 1793. James Hamilton had Military Warrant for land on the North Side of the Cumberland River. Robert received permission, and went as a missionary among the Indians in 1794. James and his father seemed to have stayed together, as they were found in Guilford County, North Carolina, in Sumner County and Humphreys County, Tennessee, by census reports. From a history of West Tennessee, "Thomas Hamilton, a Revolutionary Soldier, buried in Carroll County, had never applied for a pension, his war service found in old documents," but the date of his death was not given. " Notes: From Richard Wilson: "The naming of Martha Hamilton and Anne Hamilton as children is based on there being two unidentified daughters as per grandson Thomas recollection. He most assuredly knew Elizabeth Shaw as she is the one who lived to be 101 years of age. On Oct 13, 1794 - Sumner County, Tennessee deed book 1, page 110 - it states that Thomas Hamilton Sr. made an indenture with Robert Hamilton - witnesses were King Carr and Robert Shaw. I could find no other Hamiltons living in this vicinity who would have had daughters marrying in 1789 and 1793. The only other Hamilton to be married in this time frame was John Hamilton who married Isabell Snoddy March 13 1794 in Sumner County. I find no indication that he was one of our Hamilton's, based on the marriage date, I suppose it could have been possible." According to the Patriot List of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Thomas Hamilton was called out with the Minute Men of Guilford County to fight in the Battle of Guilford County Courthouse with Captain Vernon's Company. His son Thomas Hamilton, Jr., fought in the Revolution with General Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox." Another son, James Hamilton, also served in the Revolution, enlisting with the Continental Army in November 1778 and serving until after the surrender of Cornwallis in 1781.

More About JANE HAMILTON: Census: 1850, Red River County, Texas Dwelling 147 Migrated: 1833, To Texas Notes for JAMES L. LATIMER: Notes: From Article written by Dottie Bolton Williams, Van Dorn Craddock Jr., Mrs. W.D. Armstrong, Mary Henry Dalton, Jessica Patterson in " A History of Red River County" "James L. Latimer moved his family to Carroll County, TN. They left there in 1833 with family which included 11 of the 15 children and over 50 slaves and came to Texas. Bringing their possessions in an ox cart, they only made ten or twelve miles a day. They crossed Red River at the mouth of Mill Creek and settled at Pecan Point or Round Grove about 5 miles east of present Clarksville. Jane's brother, Robert Hamilton, and his family accompanied them to Texas." "Farm Tools, plows, hand looms, fruit trees and seeds and other things needed to build homes in the new country were brought with them. Of the 50 slaves, some were servants, field hands, carpenters, house servants, even Gabriel, expert in tanning leather and as a shoemaker." "The women helped in so many ways to settle the new country. They carded wool and cotton, spun thread for winter clothing while the men built and worked preparing crops. These pioneers from the timbered country of TN were fascinated by the prairie with their acres of tall grass waving in the wind and the scattered Bois d'Arc trees loaded with apples. There was an abundance of wild game of every kind. Once when facing a shortage of lard, they were saved from a trip to a market perhaps 30 miles away by the advice of an old Henry Stout from MO. who appeared one day "Heck, you don't have to go to Jefferson after lard, I can take you up into the canebrakes on Red River where you can kill all the black bears you need, They're fat and will make more and better lard than you can buy anywhere in the country." "The young men were strong for a bear hunt, so it was arranged. They were off early and he made good his boast, for they brought back 5 black bears that weighed from 400 to 600 pounds." "The Latimers prospered during the next few years, and they opened up new farms and increased their cotton acreage, selling cotton for 6 cents a pound in Jefferson, the nearest market."

15. ROBERT SHAW4 HAMILTON (JAMES A.3, THOMAS2, HANSFORD1) was born June 05, 1796 in Hamilton Station, Sumner Co, Tennessee, and died March 17, 1876 in Near Clarksville, Red River Co., Texas. He married ELIZABETH BETHEY BETHEA 1815 in Tennessee. She was born September 05, 1799 in South Carolina, and died September 05, 1879 in Texas. Notes for ROBERT SHAW HAMILTON: Special Thanks to Vaden McDonald for contributing this paper to our research and for the research he has done: These notes are quoted from the research paper of the Hamilton Family by Willie Flowers Carlisle, December 1936: "Robert, son of James and Jane Gwin Hamilton, was born in Hamilton's Station, Sumner County, Tennessee, July 5, 1796. Robert was sent to Scotland for his education. Returning home in 1812 he learned upon reaching New York that war had been declared between Great Britian and the United States. He joined Captain Craig's Company, Tennessee Militia, Sept 1814 and was in the Battles of New Orleans during December 1814 an January 1815. About 1815 he married Elizabeth Bethea, who was born September 5, 1799. He taught school for several years and in 1833 or 1834 moved to Texas with his wife, six sons, one daughter, a nephew Morgan Carter and the Latimer families and settled on the Pecan Bayou in Red River County, Texas, where he purchased 1028 acres of land. Some of his descendants still live on this land. One of the first acts of the Hamilton and Latimer families was to establish the Shiloh Cumberland Presbyterian Church, they having been members of the Shiloh Church at McKenzie, Carroll County, Tennessee. The Rev. Milton Estill was the first pastor of this church. In 1833, he was sent as a delegate to Washington on the Brazos, where he signed the Texas Declaration of Independence and was on the committee that wrote the constitution for the new Republic. In April 1836, he was one of the emissaries sent to Washington D.C.. In June 1836, he joined Captain Elliot;'ss Company but did not see active service, except in Indian raids. In 1841, he was chose Colonel in the 1st Regiment, Texas Mounted Volunteers, an Brigadier General in 1844. In 1838 he signed his name Robert S. Hamilton to his application for a head-right certificate, and after that date always added the "S" to his signature. He was elected Sheriff of Red River County in 1858, his last public office. He died March 17, 1876, and was buried in the old Shiloh Cemetery, near Clarksville, Texas. His wife Elizabeth Hamilton died September 5, 1879, and is buried beside him.
RESOURCES AND REFERENCES ON ROBERT HAMILTON:
"I am aware that an early historian gave Scotland as the birth place of Robert Hamilton, signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. After a search of several years, I am convinced the following data (on the Hamilton Family) is correct. This information has been gathered from the older residents of Red River County, Texas, who remembered him, from Pat Clark of Clarksville, Texas; Randolph Clark, founder of Addran College who knew him, the Veterans Administration; the Adjutant Generals Office; the General Land Office at Austin, Probate records in several Texas counties and family records. His mother gave his name as Rober Jr., and the Adjutant Generals Office has his war record of 1814 and 1815 as Robert. In no instance did I find a record of Robert S. until 1838. At that time another Hamilton was in Texas buying land certificates, as court records of Red River County and the Supreme Court of Texas show. That, and the fact he had a son named Robert was reason he had for adding the middle name Shaw."
Re: The Texas Declaration of Independence (1)
American Expeditions and Settlements:
By the early 19th cent. Americans were covetously eyeing Texas, especially after the Louisiana Purchase (1803) had extended the U.S. border to that fertile wilderness. Attempts to free Texas from Spanish rule were made in the expeditions of the adventurers Gutierrez and Magee (1812-13) and James Long (1819). In 1821 Moses Austin secured a colonization grant from the Spanish authorities in San Antonio. He died form the rigors of his return trip from that distant outpost, but his son Stephen F. Austin, had the grant confirmed and in December 1821 led 300 families across the Sabine River to the region between the Brazos and Colorado rivers, where they established the first American settlement in Texas. Austin is known as the father of Texas. The newly independent government of Mexico, pleased with Austin's prospering colony, readily offered grants to other American promoters and even gave huge land tracts to individual settlers. Americans from all over the Union, but particularly from the South, poured into Texas, and within a decade a considerable number of settlements had been established in Brazoria, Washingtonon- the Brazos, San Felipe de Austin, Anahuac and Gonzales. The Americans easily avoided Mexican requirements that all settlers be Roman Catholic, but conflict with Mexican settlers over land titles resulted in the Fredonian Rebellion (1826-27) By 1830 the Americans outnumbered the Mexican settlers by more than three to one and had formed their own society. The Mexican government became understandable concerned. Its sporadic attempts to tighten control over Texas had been hampered by its own political instability, but in 1830 measures were taken to stop the influx of Americans. Troops were sent to police the border, close the seaports, occupy the the towns, and levy taxes on imported goods. The troops were withdrawn in 1832, when Mexico was again in political upheaval, but Texans, alarmed and hoping to achieve a greater measure of self-government, petitioned Mexico for separate statehood (Texas was then part of Coaphuila). When Austin presented the petition in Mexico City, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna had become military dictator. Austin was arrested and imprisoned for eighteen months, and Texas was re garrisoned. Independence from Mexico The Texas Revolution broke out (1835) in Gonzales when the Mexicans attempted to disarm the Americans and were routed. The American settlers then drove all the Mexican troops form Texas, overwhelming each command in Surprise attacks. At a convention called at Washington-on-the Brazos, Texas declared its Independence (March 2. 1836). A constitution was adopted and David Burnet was named interim president. The arrival of Santa Anna with a large army that sough to crush the rebellion resulted in the famous defense of the Alamo and the massacre of several hundred Texans captured at Goliad. Santa Anna then divided his huge force to cover as much territory as possible. The small Texas army, commanded by Samuel Houston, protected their rear, retreating strategically until Houston finally maneuvered Santa Anna into a cul-de-sac formed by heavy rains and flooding bayous, near the site of present-day Houston. In the battle of San Jacinto (April 21, 1836), Houston surprised the larger Mexican force and scored a resounding victory. Santa Anna was captured and compelled to recognize the independence of Texas.

Notes : From "GATEWAY TO TEXAS HISTORY" pages 99-101 " Robert Hamilton was born in Scotland in about 1783. He and four of his brothers came to the United States about 1807 and settled in North Carolina, where they prospered as businessmen. In 1834 Hamilton severed his connection with the business interests of his brothers and moved to Pecan Point on Red River, claimed by both Arkansas and Texas. There, he was elected one of Five delegates to the Convention of 1836." "Robert Hamilton, a man of wealth and recognized ability, played a small but important role in the Texas Revolution. His active participation was confined to a period of little more than six months, but during this time he signed the Declaration of Independence, helped to draft the Constitution, and served as one of the two first representatives appointed by the new Republic to the United States. Had he been ambitious for a career in public life, his name might have been as indelibly stamped upon the history of Texas as any of those deemed illustrious in the annals of the Lone Star Republic. He however, chose to devote his time and talents to the development of his plantation interest." "Hamilton was not an uncommon name along Red River during the days of the Texas Revolution, and it would seem there was no aversion to given name Robert. At any rate, there were at least three men called Robert Hamilton in Red River County in 1836 which has tended to confuse the search and scramble the facts in the careers of these men. On Dec. 11, 1936 the Board of Land Commissioners of Red River County issued Robert Hamilton certificate # 97 which entitled him to 1,280 acres of public land." "This Robert Shaw Hamilton, second sheriff of Red River County, prominent on the local scene for many years and sometimes referred to in later life ad Col. Bob Hamilton. Another Robert Hamilton, on Nov. 18, 1837, received Bounty Warrant No. 402 for 640 acres of land in Red River County for military service from May 18, 1836 to Nov. 18, 1836. This man has not been further identified but could not have been Robert Hamilton, signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, since he was on the official mission in the United States during May, June, July and Aug. 1836." "In the summer of 1843 Hamilton's health having failed, he went to Saratoga Springs, New York in a vain effort to recuperate. His search for health proved unavailing an he became seriously ill. Realizing the end was near, he drafted, signed his will and died the same day, Aug. 16, 1843. Hamilton's place of burial has not been determined, but there is no evidence to indicate that he was not interred at Saratoga Springs, New York where diligent search has failed to locate his grave. There is a Texas Centennial Marker to the memory of Robert Hamilton in the Old Rowland Cemetery northeast of Clarksville. (This is the only historical marker we were unable to locate. We went to Bryarly to the Old Rowland Cemetery but could not look further because of the dense growth.)" 1860 Red River County Census shows his son Thomas S. with family in the household, along with Joshua White age 33 listed as a laborer With Personal Property value of 600., born in Alabama. Also in same household was a D.A. Harbin age 31 born in Kentucky listed as a teacher.
