I FOREWORD
RS. LEANDER J. McCORMICK of
Chicago in 1897 published a volume of
“Genealogies and Reminiscences” record¬
ing the lineage of her branch of the
Hamilton family and tracing it back to the
Irish Dukes of Abercorn. It has been
thought desirable to bring up-to-date the information col¬
lected by that saintly lady relative to the descendants of her
father, John Hamilton. The compiler wishes it had been
possible to include short biographical mention where desir¬
able of those not already noticed in Mrs. McCormick’s
volume, but many other claims on the available time have
prevented pursuit of the matter thus far.
The plan followed in presenting the data is the simplest
that could occur to the compiler. Five of the sheets repre¬
sent respectively the lines of descent from five of John
Hamilton’s seven children. The eldest child, James
Gilbreath Hamilton, had no issue. There are no living
descendants of the sixth child Alexander McNutt Hamilton,
for whose familv a short note has been deemed sufficient.
The making of this little work has been a labour of love.
The compiler must, perhaps, ask forgiveness for the manner
in which relatives, near and far, known and unknown, have
been called upon for what has amounted to, in some cases at
least, the revival of long-forgotten details. But it is felt
that many of the victims will be secretly pleased, since do

we not all appreciate being reminded occasionally that the
course of humanity is never-ending, that we ourselves
should not be here but for those who have gone before?
* * * * *
To “Cousin Minnie” (Mrs. John H.) Christian, of
Richmond, Virginia, I owe much gratitude for reinvigora¬
ting the compiler’s interest in the Hamilton descent, and the
appearance of this little work is thus entirely due to her.
And to “Cousin Kate” (Mrs. William H.) Beebe of
Chicago, would 1 offer my particular appreciation of her
assistance in the collection of family data.
Others to whom I would express my especially sincere
thanks for their cooperation are Cousin Tracy Hamilton
Clark, Cousin Mary Ellen Osborne, Cousin William H. Mortimer and Cousin Ruth Krebs.
While 1 trust that no inaccuracies in names or dates have
crept in, I shall be grateful to my kin for any corrections or
additions they may be in a position to make. It is proposed
to forward a bulletin of such final alterations to the recipients
of copies of this work after a lapse of a short period of time.
The somewhat lengthy delay in the appearance of the
work is due to the passing to the Great Beyond, on Novem¬
ber 20th, 1932, oi: my Mother.

JOHN AND ELIZABETH McNUTT HAMILTON
^ Q:OHN HAMILTON, the youngest son of
James Hamilton, of Botetourt County,
Virginia, and grandson of James Hamilton
of Glennagoorland, County Tyrone, and
Winchester, Virginia, was born on June
9th, 1789, at the family home near
Buchanan. We read* that he was of “medium height (five
feet seven inches), had a fair complexion, light blue eyes, a
Roman nose and fine dark hair. He removed to Rockbridge
County when twenty-four years of age, and married
Elizabeth, daughter of Alexander and Rachel Grigsby
McNutt, on August 29, 1816. They were blessed with
seven children:
1. James Gilbreath
2. Rachel Grigsby
3. Henrietta Maria (named by her father for the wife
of Charles I.).
4. Margaret Jane
5. Martha Elizabeth
6. Alexander McNutt •n / . Isabella Rebecca
A few years after his marriage John Hamilton purchased
an estate five miles southeast of Lexington, on which he
lived the life of a typical Virginia planter for the remainder
of his days. A most interesting feature of plantation life in
that region in those days w'as the presence of faithful and

devoted negro slaves, of whom John Hamilton owned a
limited number and some of whom lived in the family for
half a century. In 1825 he built a brick residence, “Locust Hill,” where
he brought up his family, and led a happy rural life, sur¬
rounded by orchards, vines and forest trees, and in full view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, four miles distant. He
planted the lawn with locust trees. The house, now known
as “Kalopha,” still remains in a good state of preservation,
although the interior was burned out in 1854 and afterward
restored plainly. John Hamilton was energetic and enterprising, and in
addition to his farming interests carried on a forwarding
business to Richmond via the James River for some years. He was public-spirited, and always took part in promoting
any movement brought forward for the public welfare.
He was an exceptionally genial and hospitable man, and was
beloved and respected greatly by a large circle of friends and acquaintances, over whom he exerted a wide influence,
as well as upon his children and servants.
When forty three years of age he united with the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and by his confession “was
born again,” August 21, 1832. His conversion wrought a
wonderful change in him, and his life thereafter was gov¬
erned by religious convictions. From that time until his
death—a period of forty years—he devoted himself to
religious works and charities mostly in connection with the
church of his choice. He was deeply interested in the Bible Society, in which he was a life member and an active worker.
John Hamilton was a lover of nature, delighting in the
beauties of the fair valley and the grandeur of the Blue
Ridge; and in his old age it was his pleasure to ride to the
Natural Bridge, twelve miles distant, and feast his eyes on

that marvel of Nature’s handiwork. He and his wife made
three visits to their children in Chicago at a period when it
required three or four days to make the journey. On their
first visit, in 1 852, he was impressed with the prospective
greatness of the young city,.£.ad.bought forty acres of land
in the southwestern quarter, which afterward became valu¬
able. Their second visit was in the autumn of 1856. At
that time he became enthusiastic over the growth and enter¬
prise of the place. Their third visit was made in 1859-60,
when they remained six months, returning home to undergo
the vicissitudes and privations of the Civil War, which broke
out the following spring. In politics, John Hamilton was a
Whig until over seventy years of age, and then only em¬
braced the Democratic or State’s Rights doctrines when
compelled to do so by the secession of the State of Virginia,
which up to that time he had opposed as vigorously as a
private citizen could. But he yielded at last, when invasion
was threatened, and gave his support to the cause of the
South. They were not molested at any time during the
great struggle. He lived seven years after the close of the
war, long enough to behold with dismay the desolation and
misery brought upon his beloved state and people. He was
a pall-bearer at the funeral of General Thomas J. Jackson
(“Stonewall”).
John Hamilton died in his eighty-fourth year, on August
7, 1872. At the moment of his departure he expressed
consciousness of the event by throwing out both hands, as if
to say, “Good-bye, good-bye,” to those around him, and
immediately expired in the hope of a blessed resurrection.
Thus ended a long life of great usefulness and happiness.

odist Episcopal Church, South, held at Wesley Chapel,

4 DESCENDANTS OF JOHN HAMILTON
August 10, 1872, the following preamble and resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas Divine Providence has recently removed from
among us our late brother, John Hamilton, ripe in years,
and ready for his change;
And Whereas, in view of his long connection with this
Conference as a worthy servant of the Church, it is but
right that we should express our appreciation of his life,
and our sorrow at his death, therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of our venerable friend
and brother, John Hamilton, our Church loses the service
and example of one whom it can only afford to spare in
humble trust that the great Head of the Church will raise
up others to take the place thus made vacant.
Resolved, That we rejoice in that grace which so long
sustained our brother in the enjoyment of a Saviour’s love,
and at least so sweetly cheered him on to victory over his 4 4
last foe.
Resolved, That we tender to his sorrowing family and
friends our sympathy with their grief, and commend them
to Him who alone can comfort us in our tribulation,
humbly trusting that both they and ourselves may eventually
gain admittance into the “rest” remaining for “the people
of God,” theie to enjoy a part in the blessed re-union of
Heaven.
Resolved, That this minute be spread upon our journal
and that it be published in the church papers and the
papers of Lexington and copies be sent to the family.
J. E. Armstrong, President.
A. J. Hamilton, Secretary.
Elizabeth, wife of John Hamilton, and third child of
Alexander and Rachel Grigsby McNutt, was born in Rock¬
bridge County, Va., on March 23, 1794.
When seventeen years of age she was a pupil at Ann
Smith Academy, Lexington, where her daughters afterward
were educated.
DESCENDANTS OF JOHN HAMILTON 5
Her wedding dress was of closely woven white twilled
silk, called “Levantine,” made demi-train, gored plain in
the front and sides, gathered in the back, the bodice short,
with low neck and short sleeves, and it was trimmed with a
quilling of white satin ribbon. She wore long white kid
gloves and white kid slippers. Her bridesmaid was her
first cousin, Hannah Ingram Grigsby, and Charles P.
Dorman, of Lexington, Va., acted as groomsman. After
the wedding the bride and groom made a tour to Winchester,
where the groom had relatives, amongst whom were an
uncle, John Hamilton, and an aunt, Jane Barton, his father’s
sister. They made the journey in a new gig, which was
considered very stylish and novel in those primitive days.
After enjoying the hospitality of their relatives they
returned to begin the journey of life together by laying the
foundation for a successful future. Their home in which
they lived happily together nearly half a century, though in
the midst of hills and removed from the world’s great
thoroughfares, was ever the dearest spot'to them.
Elizabeth McNutt Hamilton was a most hospitable
hostess to her numerous friends, who loved to visit in the
old Virginia style. As with all gentlewomen of the olden
time, her home was her sphere. Her sound principles and
her religious life, by her exemplary behavior and conversa¬
tion, were impressed, upon her children and on others with
whom she came in contact. She wTas a person of fine breed¬
ing and culture.
Elizabeth McNutt Hamilton died on Good Friday,
April 7, 1871, aged 77 years, and wras buried on Easter
Sunday.
She was five feet seven inches in height; her complexion
was very fair, her eyes were blue, and the lines of her face
w’ere classic in type.”

ALEXANDER McNUTT HAMILTON
LEXANDER McNUTT HAMILTON,
the sixth child and second son of John and
Elizabeth Hamilton, was born on February
24th, 1830. On November 25, 1857, he
married Virginia Burns Smith, daughter of
Abram Smith and his third wife, Charlotte
Gambill, of Rockingham County, Virginia. Three children
were born of this marriage. The eldest was Lenwood
Hamilton who was born on September 1 8, 1858. He never
married and died sometime after 1900 but it has been found
impossible to ascertain the precise date. The second child,
Henry Jewett Hamilton, born on July 6th, 1860, died in
infancy on May 4th, 1862. The third child, who was born
on November 15th, 1868, was named Alexander Burns and
was known to his family and friends as “Allie.” Alexander
Burns was twice married, on the first occasion, as the com¬
piler of these notes is reputably informed, to the daughter
of an Italian gentleman in the musical profession. Of his
second wife no record has been found. No children resulted
from either of these alliances. Alexander Burns died on
March 12, 1910.
An interesting account of Alexander McNutt Hamilton
is furnished in Mrs. McCormick’s book on pages 201-3.
There is also a portrait facing page 201.

CONCLUDING NOTE
Mrs. George (Cousin “Jennie”) Ross is senior living
descendant of John and Elizabeth McNutt Hamilton by
family precedence being the eighth child of Rachel Grigsby
Osborne, eldest daughter of John and Elizabeth McNutt.
Mrs. William H. Beebe (Cousin “Kate”), the senior living
descendant by age, is the second child of John and Elizabeth
McNutt’s third daughter, Margaret Jane Krebs. The
titular head of the family, according to the European man¬
ner of reckoning, is Lyle Hamilton Clark, born on
November 21, 1916, great-great-great-grandson of John
and Elizabeth McNutt Hamilton. It is a remarkable fact
that there is no living descendant with the Hamilton sur¬
name, i. e. there is no direct male descent. The total
number of living descendants (October 1st, 1932) is one
hundred and twenty-four, and of deceased, forty.
Zeannette Krebs is the last member of the family to have
been born at “Locust Hill,” the present “Kalopha,” on
January 19, 1917.
