Biography
Gavin Hamilton was born 1 Jan 1835 at Stromness, Orkney Islands, Scotland.[1] His father was Dr. John Macaulay Hamilton and his mother was Marion Sibbald Rae, sister to Dr. John Rae, the arctic explorer and HBC employee. One of Gavin's grandfathers was Rev. Gavin Hamilton and his grandmother was Penelope Macaulay. The other set of grandparents were John Rae and Margaret Glenn.
Gavin Hamilton married Margaret Julia Ogden, daughter of Hudson's Bay Company Chief Trader, Peter Ogden, and Phrisine Brabant, probably about 1862, in the Stuart Lake region and they had 16 children.[2]
Like several others in his family, he worked for the Hudson's Bay Company, serving for a time as Chief Factor.[1] after begging as an apprentice clerk at Fort Langley around 1853.[2]
He is buried in Ross Bay Cemetery, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.[3]
