Tis a shame, for I have her in Geni as my 7th GGmother, BUT, I can't find any Sources for her being/connecting to George Hamilton and Bridget Coward....in fact, all the sources I've read states that George & Bridget lived and died in Ireland...NEVER coming to America, where Geni has Ann Jones (Hamilton) as being born!! Still search, though. Alas.

NEEDED: Source/Proof: I do not find an Ann Jones (Hamilton) as daughter for George Hamilton and Bridget Coward.

I find a “different” George Hamilton as her parent shown here, so it’s easy to see how the spurious pedigree happened:

George Hamilton was born bef. 1685 and died ca. 1763.

Husband of unknown

Children were ..

1. Ann Hamilton (m. Richard Jones, I)
2. John Hamilton

It’s not much but it’s a realistic start, if you wanted to do the honors?

Marvin Loyd Welborn We’re all fixed, there was a bad merge.

This is your George Hamilton

Thanks Erica Howton.

I'd spent many an hour/day/weeks climbing up the 'wrong' lines and all along I was suspicious.
