Walter W and Effie (Hamilton) Gilbert Family - 1910 US Census Nez Perce County, Big Eddy Precinct , Idaho |
| |
Walter and Effie on the farm in 1910. Effie is the daughter of Supplina and Sarah Jane (Sumpter) Hamilton. It's interesting to note three things about this record: 1) Walter's brother Frank is still living with them as in the 1900 Census and listed as a 'Farm Hand', 2) they live next to George W. Sumpter (age 50) and family. This is George Washington Sumpter the youngest child of Alexander and Nancy (Prather) Sumpter, the parents of Effie's Mom (Sarah Jane Sumpter). Effie's Uncle George was named after the original George Washington Sumpter who was carried as an infant by his mother to meet his father who was a soldier in George Washington's Continental Army, and serving under General Washington. The third and last point of interest is that Effie's sister Pirena and her husband Samuel S. Gilbert (Walter's brother) have left their homestead in Nez Perce, County Idaho. Samuel and Pirena are found in the 1910 census living on 4th st. in Albany Oregon and they have a grocery store. They moved close to their Gilbert extended family in Albany. Effie no longer has her sister close by in Idaho. |

Washington State Birth Index 1907 - 1919 |
| |
This is a fairly large 4mb PDF file. I created it as a Word doc having reviewed the state birth index for 1907-1919. I looked at several counties that have known relatives in them in this era. Many of the names in this document are decendants of Supplina and Jane Hamilton or of Supplina's brother William M. Hamilton. The source document contained many duplicate entries. The PDF document is full text searchable. |

Will of James M. Hamilton - Mason County, Illinois - February 1869 |
| |
James M. Hamilton was born in Morgan County, Illinois on April 10, 1834 along with his twin brother, William McCord Hamilton. James was a bachelor farmer from Mason County Illinois when he enlisted in the 85th Illinois Infantry in 1862. He served as an officer in C Company as a 2nd and then 1st Lieutenant. James was captured by the Confederates on July 20, 1964 at the bloody battle of Peach Tree Creek, GA near Atlanta. James returned to Illinois after the war. He died on his farm near Mason City on the 20th of February 1869. He apparently had a lingering illness. His last will and testament is currently the most important document we have in the family for understanding the children of John & Altha (Judd) Hamilton. We believe that the will names all his siblings. Along with the living he mentions the heirs of the deceased or perhaps ones he had lost track of. I was first aware of the existence of James will from a copy that Joyce (Stover) Hamilton shared with me. This copy was of the notarized original. This link below is to the version as recorded in the Mason County, courthouse. Its quite a bit more readable. |
