Biography

"About 1770 Henry Hamilton, born in Scotland in 1747, came to Maine; taught school in Sanford; was at Lexington, it is thought in Capt. Morgan Lewis' company, in the interest of the colonies. In 1780, October 5, he married Eunice Lord, daughter of Jeremiah Lord, she having been baptized July 22, 1761."^[1]

"In June 1793, four months after the death of her seventh child, who was Archibald, Eunice (Lord) Hamilton, died, her eldest child, Sarah, being not quite eleven years old. For a time Lucy Lord, an aunt, took care of the children, but in December, 1793, six months after the death of her sister, Lucy too died. The Hamilton children were: Sarah, Otho, Jeremiah, Henry, Margaret, Simeon and Archibald. Of these, Sarah, Otho, Henry and Margaret married; Simeon died young, and Archibald died unmarried." ^[2]
