General Notes: Husband - Robert Hamilton

---

He was reared under the parental roof, and received but limited educational privileges, for there were no free schools in the neighborhood. He and his brother John assisted their father in clearing the farm, and were connected with him in the purchase of land until their father's death. In 1837 the entire management and settlement of the estate devolved upon Robert. His father gave him 300 acres of partially improved land adjoining Perrysville, in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, and at the time of his marriage he located on that property, building there a good residence. For many years he successfully conducted a mercantile establishment there, carrying a large and well selected stock of goods, and receiving from the public a liberal patronage. He also superintended his farming interests. He purchased the Hadden and Bell farms adjoining the old family homestead, and dealt extensively in real estate. He became one of the largest land owners of Perry township, having 1,000 acres in the neighborhood of his home.
In his political views, he was originally a Whig, and on the organization of the Republican party joined its ranks. He held the office of postmaster of the Hamilton office for a number of years, and for an extended period was school director and treasurer. He was a member of the Perry Presbyterian Church, to which his wife also belonged, and in that faith they reared their family.

He was county commissioner of Jefferson County for one term.
