Information on Archibald Hamilton

From Hamilton DNA Surname Project Website:

Archibald Henry Hamilton, b 1704 Laggin District, Northern Ireland, m Frances Calhoun. In 1733 Archibald and Frances emigrated to Augusta Co, VA. Son Major Andrew Hamilton, b abt 1740 Augusta Co, VA, m Jane McGill; they and many of their descendants lived in Abbeville, SC. The father of Archibald Henry Hamilton (b 1704) is thought to be Audley Harrison Hamilton and that he was the brother of Judith Hamilton who married Alexander Calhoun; Judith and Alexander were the parents of Archibald's wife Frances. If this is so, then Archibald's ancestry is known (see the 1933 book by George Hamilton titled "The House of Hamilton" for further details) back to Andrew Hamilton, b 1613, prebendary of Kilskerry, Co Tyrone, Ireland and rector of Magheracross, Co Fermanagh, 1639-1662, d aft 1680, m Rebecca Galbraith from Mountgavelin, Northern Ireland. Their son Rev. James Hamilton, b 1638, prebendary of Kilskerry 1662-1666, in 1667 rector of Donagheady, Co Tyrone, and Taghboyne, Co Donegal, styled of Mountgavelin, Archdeacon of Raphoe 1674/5 and Chaplain to the Earl of Arran, d abt 1685, m Catherine Leslie. James and Catherine were the parents of Judith and possibly of Audley Harrison Hamilton. H-045 is a first cousin once removed of both H-157 and H-315, a second cousin once removed of H-170 and H-222 and a fourth cousin once removed of H-096. He is also a relative of H-130.
