General Notes: Husband - Joseph Hamilton

---

Good reason exists for believing that the original stock of this family came from Scotland shortly after the landing of the Pilgrims.
When the Revolutionary war broke out Joseph gave his services to his country, a portion of the time as an ordi­nary soldier, and also as a commissary. In the latter capacity he supplied the American army with meat. A large supply being on hand in Boston when the war closed, he sustained a heavy pecuniary loss.
Joseph and Priscilla had a family of twelve children. [HVC 1890, 935]
