Biography

Rev. James Hamilton.

James Hamilton married Catherine Leslie, daughter of James Leslie ^{[1] [2]}

James and Catherine had the following children: ^{[3] [4]}

1. James. Born in 1675. James entered Trinity College Dublin in 1693.

The above information is most-likely about a different James Hamilton. "James H. Hamilton was born between 1625 and 1640 in Lanarskshire, Scotland. Other references list Leitrim, Ireland. He married Catherine Leslie and they had 19 children."

According to the Burgess family descendants, James H. Hamilton was born on May 11, 1630, in Hamilton, Lanarkshire, Scotland, the family seat. This is the birth date I have added to this profile. The Hamilton family were Presbyterian "dissenters" that had problems with the official "Church of England" and moved between their ancestral home in Scotland and Ireland.^[5]
