Here are the profiles Larry Hamilton is currently working on. Can you help?

Larry's current to-do list.

• Verify connections and sources for each person in tree.
• Find the parents of Isaac Hamilton.
  There is an Isaac N. Hamilton that is often said to be my Isaac Hamilton, but I have yet to see any clear explanation of that. Places of birth, etc.
  My father suspected Isaac's father was Asa or his parents could have been Oliver E. Hamilton and Susan Henderson. I don't know where my father found those names to suspect a connection.
• Verify the marriage of Isaac Hamilton & Abigail Martin
  I found a marriage record in the same county Franklin Pierce Hamilton was married. Do I have the correct Isaac and Abigail to allow further progress?
• Verify the birthplace and parents of Abigail Martin.
  A couple of trees on Ancestry have some different information that I have that on the surface seems promising. More review is needed.
• Verify the birthplace, date of death, place of burial, and parents of Mary P. (Hill) Hamilton, married to Franklin Pierce Hamilton son of Isaac & Abigail.
  I have seen Mary conflated with other Mary Hill's and Mary Hamilton's so care is needed to establish certain facts.
• Find Franklin & Mary on the 1910 Census:
  1900 Census they were in Lawrence Ward 3, Douglas County, Kansas. In 1912 they were living in Sarcoxie, Jasper County, Missouri when Franklin died. They moved a lot between censuses so it makes it challenging. I'm hoping improvements to what is availabel online will help solve that.
• Find the paper trail that explains the Y-DNA connection to the English/Inglis surname.
  I'm also focused on trying to break the brick wall of my oldest known Hamilton ancestor. Dad participated in the Hamilton DNA surname study. We matched with Grandpa's cousins. The other closest matches are with the surname English/Inglis, so some sort of adoption or other non-paternal event about 1750 or so. That's about 80 years before my oldest Hamilton ancestor was born. The challenge is to find the paper trail to explain that DNA connection....
