| David Hamilton of Dalserf (a 1413, 1434, Sheriff of Lanarkshire?) | |||||||||||||||

They may quite probably be successive generations, but proof is wanting." Anderson suggests that David was alive in 1476 but this is not mentioned by 'HamiltonHistory' and seems unlikely, albeit not impossible, given the dates of other members of his family (shown on the continuation).

| The following comes from 'HamiltonHistory' ('Monea, Co. Fermanagh', p1012+). TCP (vol VI, 'Hamilton of Glenawly', p279) draws attention to a note within Lodge (vol 2, p300 (within 'Beresford, Earl of Tyrone')) which identifies Archibald Hamilton, Archbishop of Cashel (brother of Sir Claud of Cattletoome (co. Antrim), who dspms, both being sons of Sir Claud Hamilton of Cochonogh (Cochno) in Scotland), as father of several sons, the second of whom was Hugh, Lord Hamilton of Glenawly. However, TCP notes that Lodge appears to have confused Archbald Hamilton, Archbishop of Cashel, with his predecessor as Archbishop, Malcolm Hamilton. TCB reports that the parentage of the undermentioned Hugh "cannot be said to be definitely established" but mentions evidence that "points to the ancestry" shown below. | |||||||||||||||
