I have completed my review of this page with reference to 'HamiltonHistory'. It is likely that parts of the page will be moved to new pages in due course which will almost certainly eventually lead to the renumbering of various of these Hamilton pages. See the note near the top of the Hamiltons Hierarchy page. [PCBG, 17.05.16] (1) We long thought that the following family took its name from the Lanarkshire town of Hamilton. However, we have since seen (in several places) the suggestion that the family gave its name to Hamilton, rather than the other way around, with Hamilton possibly being a corruption of either Hambleton (there being villages of that name in North Yorkshire, Lancashire & Rutland) or Hambleden (a village in Buckinghamshire) or Hameldon (in Northumberland). According to TSP ('Hamilton'), the latter "belonged to the Umphravilles" but makes it clear that there is little evidence to support any claim for this family's early origins, adding that "So far as record or charter evidence is available, the first undoubted ancestor of the Hamiltons was Walter Fitz Gilbert". (2) 'AndersonMemoirs' reports that the following Gilbert may have been of the family of the Beaumont/Bellomont Earls of Leicester (see Beaumont01). [It is clear that this matter has long been the subject of much speculation. We have seen several suggestions as to how the families were connected, for example: that Gilbert was son of Sir William de Hambleton who was an illegitimate son of Robert de Beaumont, 4th Earl. However, little if any 'proper' evidence is ever given to support such claims.] TSP (Hamilton) refers to such suggestions and implies that at least part of such claims came from a similarity of armorial bearings (the use of cinquefoils) but then notes that the same argument would also work (better?) for a connection to the above-mentioned Umphravilles (aka Umfreville). (3) 'HamiltonHistory' reports "That there were Hamiltons in England before they appeared in Scotland is abundantly clear" and "However no evidence has thus far become available to justify the connection of the Scottish Hamiltons with those in England." It also confirms (p3) that "Gilbert Hamilton, the father of Walter Fitzgilbert, has not been identified" although it does reports that "a certain Gilbert de Hameldun, clericus, appears amongst the local clergy". Given the amount of research that has been put into this matter already without reaching a merited conclusion, we suspect that the true origins of this family will never be known for certain. |

(3) | Walter (probably not Thomas) Hamilton 'of Darngaber' (a 1420) | ||||||||||||||
'AndersonMemoirs' (1825, p363) shows the 3rd son of Sir John as 'Thomas de Hamilton of Darngaber'. However, TSP (1914, Hamilton, p347) names him Walter "of whom little is known" and reports that "This appears to be the true ancestor of the Hamiltons of Raploch and others. The Thomas referred to in this connection in the House of Hamilton (i.e. Anderson), and described as of Darngaber, is not found so styled, and he appears to have been a servant and not a son of the family." Clearly there has been some confusion here. 'HamiltonHistory' (1933, p731) refers to 'AndersonMemoirs' and other sources but has not been able to resolve the position fully, reporting (of the family given for Thomas) "This derivation is not borne out by available records." What we show does follow 'AndersonMemoirs' (except to give precedence to naming this person Walter rather than Thomas) but 'HamiltonHistory' throws doubt on his family other than to support the view that Walter was father of James of Raploch, albeit only possibly (not definitely) by ... | |||||||||||||||

'HamiltonHistory' (p850) reports, of the first Thomas of this branch, that "This Thomas may have been a son of Thomas Hamilton of Darngaber, but of this there is no proof." We show him here on the basis that he may originally have been identified as brother of James of Raploch rather than as son of anyone particuliar. | |||||||||||||||

'AndersonMemoirs' (p39 & p339) shows a Sir John, ancestor of the Hamiltons of Fingalton & Prestoun, 2 generations earlier. TSP (vol 4, p343) reports that that is "erroneously stated" and shows the first Sir John in this generation, which is supported by BP1934, HJHeraldry (Hamilton) & 'HamiltonHistory'. Regarding the first of the 3 Sir Johns mentioned by Anderson, Anderson reports that his "matrimonial connexions are doubtful", disregarding suggestions (by Crawfurd) that he married a dau of Sir Robert de Cruck of Cruckston. Of the 2nd Sir John, Anderson supports Crawfurd's suggestion that he married Margaret, dau of Sir William Baillie of Hoprig. Of the 3rd Sir John, Anderson supports the suggestion that he probably married a younger sister of Janet, dau/coheir of Sir William Keith of Galston. We are following 'HamiltonHistory' (p684+) which (after considering some of the evidence) suggests that, whilst the first Sir John was of this generation, he was father rather than the same person as the following Sir John from whom some consensus has been obtained. | |||||||||||||||
