General Notes: Husband - Thomas Allen Hamilton

---

He received a good education, and learned the trade of a printer in his father's office, at which he worked until he received the appointment of an assistant engineer on the State canals under Col. James Worral, but he abandoned both avocations in order to join a brother in a business, which they successfully prosecuted until his death. He served as a member of the City Councils of Harrisburg a longer continuous period than any other citizen had ever done, being elected for about twenty years in succession, generally without serious opposition, although many epochs of great public excitement intervened to produce fierce and close political contests.
