Not the same as John Hamilton

JOHN HAMILTON

Servant to John Burn in Brumbletown

Without justification it has been claimed that John Hamilton, here treated, was that son of John Hamilton of Allanshaw whose baptism was registered at Blantyre on 11 January 1691. WikiTree It should be noted, however, that the ancestry of this man has not been satisfactorily identified. For example, the earliest record so far identified for him is the record of his marriage to Janet Young in 1717. This confirms that his wife was the daughter of William Young in Carscarden, and that he was the servant of John Burn in Brumbletown, but there is nothing in his marriage record, or in the baptismal records of his four known children, which identifies the name of his father, or his place of birth, or even a former place of residence.
