General Notes: Husband - Joseph Hamilton

---

He came to western Pennsylvania shortly after reaching manhood. Two strong ties in particular attracted him toward Washington County. David Hamilton, Esq., his brother-in-law, and Gen. John Hamilton, his uncle, were both residents of that county. Soon after coming west he was married and for more than a quarter of a century following he resided in Williamsport (later Monongahela), where he worked at his trade as carpenter and housebuilder, carried on a cabinet and undertaker's shop, and also kept an inn. In 1841, having bought the Ginger Hill farm from Esquire David Hamilton, he removed there, and lived on it until his death. His widow died at the same place. They were both lifelong members of the Presbyterian Church. For many years he was director and treasurer of the Williamsport Turnpike Company. He did much in the way of settling up decedents' estates.
