General Notes: Husband - Hugh Hamilton

---

He removed with his father to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1786, when a year and a half old. His father dying when he was eight years old, his training devolved on his mother and her second husband, Andrew Mitchel, a gentleman of superior culture. He graduated at Dickinson College with his brother John, studied law at Harrisburg, and was admitted to the bar in June, 1805, while yet a minor. Preferring the excitement of political life, he became an editor, first of "The Times," published at Lancaster and Harrisburg, 1808, then of the "Harrisburg Chronicle," 1812, which became and long continued to be a paper of great influence and importance.
Though a man of delicate health, his versatile talents, indomitable energy and restless activity enabled him to exert an extensive and powerful influence. His conversational powers and various knowledge of men and things made him an agreeable companion; and his position as reporter for many years of legislative proceedings, brought him into intimate and pleasant relations with leading men in all parts of the country. Besides the chief municipal offices of Harrisburg which he frequently filled, he was appointed sole Notary Public of Dauphin County for life. He died at his residence in Harrisburg, aged fifty-one years, and was buried there with many of his kindred.
