Biography
James Hamilton was born around 1740.[1] Occupation Stay Maker 1773.[2]
Confusion-Speculation
It is possible there were three different persons all named James Hamilton , one James (soldier) married in Canterbury, an Elizabeth Taylor and they had children, one James Hamilton (this one and Staymaker at the time of his death) who married in Dover Jane Taylor and they had children. One married Sara Buckwell at Ewell in Surrey and they had a child. But a fourth option is possible and that's maybe Elizabeth had a second name Jane , so maybe Elizabeth and Jane are one and the same person. But at this stage all of this is pure speculation and still a mystery. The story of the Hamiltons therefore must begin with James Hamilton and Jane Taylor and their five children[1]
James marries Elizabeth Taylor 12 Jan 1762 at St. Paul, Canterbury, Kent, England[3]
Children from James and Jane were[4]:
- John bapt. March 17, 1765 Dover
- Richard bapt. June 7, 1766, Dover not baptized until Nov 4 ,1776

- William born 11 Jul 1770, baptised 04 Oct 1776 Dover
- Ann bapt. January 20, 1773 Dover
- a child Jane was bapt. 10 September, 1799 Dover , Kent England bapt. Sept.10,1799 : Although Jane's parents are listed as James and Jane Hamilton, James died twenty years earlier Parish registers do not indicate if it was an adult baptism and an infant Jane Hamilton is registered as buried at St Mary's a year before this, her parents are not listed

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with James by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with James:

I'm really sorry you don't agree to this merge, but if profiles are clear duplicates they just have to be merged.
Merging clear duplicates isn't a bad thing it's a good thing, now there's just one profile for him again and you can add and work on this profile as much as you like, and just like before, and so can Rick, or any other member, it's not mine or yours or Rick's , it's a profile of an ancestor we all and many descendants will have to share.
The fact that there is confusion is added and very clear for anyone to see now, so I don't expect many members will come by to work on it , so it's only a bit more yours now, because this was info you had and added here.
So thank you for adding this and greets from Holland, Bea

Hi,
These are the same and have to be merged . Thanks :)
Gilly Wood, WikiTree Ranger.
Hi , These are the same and should be merged now, Hamliton-15 which is a wrong LNAB , should be merged into Hamilton-5539. If they still will be duplicates with or without the new data , this new data is no reason to not merge duplicates and can be added later as well ? Or is the data making clear these are not duplicates that would be a (the only) reason not to merge of course...
Thanks :)
