| ## 'HamiltonHistory' (p353, see below) identifies John as 2nd son of William of Elderslie and reports that John had to assume the name Hamilton in order to inherit Ferguslie. It identifies John & Margaret's children as John, James & Grissell. BLG1952, which apparently misidentifies Margaret's father, does not mention the name entailment and reports that they had 3 sons, William and 2 others. We follow BLG1952 with William's line and presume that John & James (mentioned by 'HamiltonHistory') were the younger sons mentioned by BLG1952. | |||||||||||||||
