John Hamilton was the son of Alexander Hamilton of Grange, and Elizabeth^[1][2] or Agnes Crawford.^[3] (Note that these references differ on the first name of his father's first wife.)

John married Margaret Hamilton who was the daughter of John Hamilton of Sandieholm.^[1][3][2] They had issue:

2. Alexander^[1][2][3]
3. Anne, married John Crawford.^[2][3]

Research Notes

N.B. Johnston claims his will was recorded 22 Dec 1674, 12 years after his death.^[3] This is an error confusing the Hamiltons of Grange in Edinburgh (commisariot of Edinburgh) with the Hamiltons of Grange in Ayrshire (Commissariot of Glasgow) The correct date is 25 Aug 1662,^[4]
