Biography

Notes for John HAMILTON: John emigrated to USA from Ireland [probably with brother William] and to West Virginia originally, but shifted to Kentucky in the spring of 1895, where he owned a farm within 5 miles of Cattlesburgh in the Ohio river valley, in the north east corner near the West Virginia border. He also owned land in West Virginia. He lived about 300 miles from William. He had 2 boys one died in his first marriage, and his first wife died about 1905. The other boy Robert continued to live with his father. In 1909 he married a widow Belle Finley [nee Jones] and had two children. Belle had children from her first marriage and they probably lived with them. They lived at RD2, Fort Gay. Possible data problem - second marriage at age 72. The Boyd County records show that John purchased a tract of land 25th Feb 1896 on Savage Creek, a tributary of the Big Sandy River (deed book page 19-245} and sold it 5th Dec 1905 [deed book page 42472].
