DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with David 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 David:
Hamilton-2555 and Hamilton-670 appear to represent the same person because: Same date and place of birth. Same wife (apparently). Both died in 1801 in South Carolina.
I greatly think the lineage here of David is incorrect as 1. David Hamilton is said to be from Scotland. 2. I found documentation of David having landed and worked in Hopewell Township, PA, where he was a highway supervisor, managed the poorhouses, and tax collector in the region. 3. He received land grants for York County, SC and moved his entire family there. His first three children were listed as having been born in Scotland, and the latter in Pennsylvania. This suggests that the John Hamilton listed here as David's father is incorrect. It does not mean his father's name is or isn't John Hamilton, but that the one listed above is the incorrect Hamilton.
Hello. It looks as if the wrong parents are linked to this David Hamilton as it states he was born in Scotland and immigrated to South Carolina however the parents and all siblings attached were born and died in Massachusetts.
Note that I have not researched this family.
