General Notes: Husband - Samuel Hamilton


In the War of 1812 he served in Capt. Joseph Markle's troop of cavalry and engaged at the Mississinewa towns, Fort Meigs and in several other skirmishes along the River Raisin. His horse was wounded, but he brought him home, and both the horse and the wound were distinctly remembered by his children. Like his father he was a whig, but in later years became a republican.
He and his wife were the parents of six children.
