General Notes: Husband - John Hamilton

---

He "was of particularly fine personal presence, fair, ruddy, auburn hair, a stature of six feet, and an intelligent Christian gentleman." To these were added the intellectual culture of academic and collegiate education. Though often solicited, and highly qualified to occupy official stations, he always declined, in favor of agricultural pursuits on his fine paternal estate at Fermanagh, where he lived from his marriage till his death, aged sixty-nine.
