Hamilton children in Nespelem City Cemetary
A kind soul documented the graves in the Nespelem City Cemetary for Interment.net. Among the graves are three of Maurice and Elsie Hamilton's children: Hamilton, Darrel, b. 1921 - d. 1936,
Hamilton, Jimmie, b. 1928 - d. 1929, Hamilton, Mazie, b. 1890 - d. 1893. The last entry for Mazie the researcher said was 'hard to read.' Mazie was born in January 1930 (or possibly Dec. 1929). She was five years old when she died.
This link also provides directions to the cemetary. When I was a child and living in Elmer City, WA every memorial day we went to the graves and spent time cleaning them up and tending or planting the flowers. I can still hear the meadowlarks singing and the beautiful flowers called 'flags' that mark the grave sites. (posted by Glen)

Hamilton Families by DNA
Hamilton's like much of the family history world is looking to DNA markers to make some order out of long forgotten (or poorly documented) family lines.
The Hamilton National Geneaolgical Society has been coordinating the collection and comparision of Hamilton family DNA lines. They use the Family Tree DNA testing service (http://www.familytreedna.com)
The page linked here is to a family line grouping table. Groups A through K are known related Hamilton lines via DNA markers. Group X is all the rest.
I'm ordering the test... so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully we won't end up in Group X! If we match any existing group my best guess is that Group K would be the most likely. But who knows! Likely we'll be in for some surprises.
Going forward as more Hamilton families participate more data will be available for comparision.

Hamilton Mausoleum
Interesting picture of the Hamilton Mausoleum, in Hamilton, Scotland. This is where several of the Dukes of Hamilton were laid to rest in our family line. We know the connection through recent genetic testing. The mausoleum, along with the family hunting lodge known as 'Chatelherault' (suggesting our Norman roots) are some of remains of the (now demolished) Hamilton Palace grounds. (posted by Glen)

The personal biography of Dan Hamilton is waiting for an author to write a 'wiki' for him. This bio of the group may also be edited if there are inaccuracies.

Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds on YouTube.com
This is pretty amazing. Danny and group remembered. Some of the most interesting music videos are those by a former friend and band member of Danny's, Roberto Kawata, who has incorporated slides with previously unpublished recordings of the group playing LIVE. One of the comments on one of the video posts caught my eye: "I believe All Music Guide stated it best in their bio; 'Dan Hamilton was certainly an underrated and creative talent, and this album is an achievement by an artist who should have had many more hits leading a multi-talented band.'

Hamiltons on Union Flat Creek, Whitman County, WA
This PDF document is the transcript of an oral history of Phillip Ochs, Endicott, Washington, 1959 (with Gordon Lindeen). Mention is made of the Supplina Hamilton family on p. 163,... "There were not stock wars here between the stockmen and the farmers. Just a little trouble between the sheepmen and the stockmen that way. They were separatethe sheepmen had their sheep and the stockmen had their horses and a few cattle. It was mostly horses at that time. The Hamiltons lived over on Union Flat; they had some horses. And there was a man by the name of Pangburn,3 an old bachelor over there. He had quite a few head of horses. And there was Perry d France; he lived over here on the river. He had quite a bunch of horses150-200 head I guess." (posted by Glen)

History Link Article on Daniel Bagley, Minister who married Amasa Galloway & Elizabeth Jordan
Here is a link to a fascinating article on HistoryLink.org about Daniel Bagley. Mr. Bagley was a pioneer Methodist minister and Newcastle coal mine manager who married Amasa Galloway and Elizabeth Jordan in King County, in 1870. The noted Newcastle coal mines were just a few miles south of Amasa's homestead near what is now Bellevue / Factoria... down what is now Coal Creek Parkway. Seattle's Bagley Avenue, northward from the shores of Lake Union, honors both Daniel and his son, Clarence Bagley. (posted by Glen)

History of Sarah Jane (Sumpter) Hamilton's family
This link (discussion thread) tells us some of the history of the Sumpter's. This Sumpter family member has shared a transcribed version of Alexander Sumpter, Jr.'s family history notes. The notes were written in Alexander Jr.'s own hand in a notebook in the possession of his son, John A. Sumpter. As a point of interest, Alexander Jr., his family (including son John A.) and his father Alexander Sr. are listed in the 1900 US Census in the same household in Santiam Precinct in Linn Co. Oregon (see the Docs section of the site). Alexander Jr. was the baby in his mother's womb, Nancy (Prather) Sumpter, when Alexander Sr. and Nancy crossed the Oregon Trail in 1853 with their eight daughters. One of those eight daughters was 15 year old Sarah Jane Sumpter, who would marry Supplina Hamilton in 1858. She is my grandfather's grandmother. Grandma 'Jane' was born in Missouri. Her little brother Alexander, Jr. writes some details of the Sumpter family history stories. Here is a quote I especially like: "Grand Father Sumpter... George Wash Sumpter... born in Virginia in time of the Revolutionary War... was carried in his mothers arms in to Washington's Army to see his father." This is amazing! 'Grandfather' George Washington Sumpter was named for General George Washington and as a babe in arms visited Washington's army where infant George's father was serving under Washington! It also appears that the noted General Sumpter who fought in the Revolution was also a relative. It was for General Sumpter that Fort Sumpter (sometimes spelt 'Fort Sumter') in Charleston Harbor in South Carolina was named. The Civil War broke out at Fort Sumpter on April 12, 1861.

How the Scots-Irish Came to America
This PDF file is a leaflet produced by the Ulster Scots Agency. " An estimated quarter of a million people emigrated from the north of Ireland to America through the 18th century, most of them of Scottish Presbyterian stock whose ancestors had moved to Ulster during the Plantation years of the 17th century." All the current evidence points to our Hamilton family having emigrated to the US from Ulster in the early to mid 18th century as well. (posted by Glen)

James M. Hamilton - Grave. Cherry Grove Cemetary, Mason County, Illinois
This links to a page noting burials in the Cherry Grove Cemetary in Mason County, Illinois. James M. Hamilton was the twin brother of William McCord Hamilton. They were born in 1834 in Morgan County, Illinois to John and Altha (Judd) Hamilton. One of their older brothers was Supplina Hamilton. James along with his brother William served in Company C 85th Illinois Infantry in the Civil War. James rose from Fifth Sargeant to Second and then to First Lieutenant. He was captured by the Confederates at the battle of Peach Tree Creek, Georgia having fought galantly in the war. In the book, "History of the 85th Illinois Volunteers - Illinois Volunteer Infantry" by
Henry J. Aten on page 376 we read: "SECOND LIEUTENANT JAMES M. HAMILTON was born in Morgan county, Illinois, in 1834, and was an unmarried farmer when he enlisted from Mason City, in Mason county [on Aug 27, 1862]. He was chosen fifth sergeant at the organization of the company, served through Kentucky and Tennessee campaigns, and was promoted second lieutenant October 7, 1863. He participated in all the campaigns in which the regiment was engaged until captured in the battle of Peach Tree creek, Georgia, July 19, 1864, was exchanged before the close of the war. He was mustered out with the regiment and returned to Mason City, Ill., where he died in about 1874." Actually, it appears that James was promoted again to 1st Lieutenant on January 1st 1864 and mustered out of the army on June 5, 1865. James died on February 20, 1869 and was buried here in the Cherry Grove Cemetary in Mason County. He is believed to have died unmarried. James twin brother William named a son after his brother James and father-in-law, Edward Porter. James Edward Hamilton was the father of Edward Hamilton and the Grandfather of Clarence Hamilton.
