If he married in 1878 and had his last child in 1880 then he should be listed with a death date of at least before 1892 when his last wife married her third husband. This profile is coming up on my error listing because I adopted the wife's profile and she couldn't marry someone after he died. Thanks!
Hamilton-15328 and Hamilton-1016 appear to represent the same person because: Same individual, mother is same on both, just one profile listed her with her nickname. Mother needs to be merged. I will unlink from one and link to the same mother for the purpose of this merge.

This individual is believed to have been the spouse of Margaret NEWSOM and the father of the children that are listed on her profile. Since this profile is locked to editing and the individual has not granted me access to attach him to her as a spouse, I thought I should leave a comment so that other researchers are aware of the connection.
