  Research Notes:

ABSENCE OF WILLIAM HAMILTON

stirnet.com omits William Hamilton (supposed father of John Hamilton who married Margaret Muirhead) and presents John Hamilton and Margaret Dalzell as the parents of John Hamilton of the next generation.

It bases this on its source 'HamiltonHistory' (see stirnet com site for full details) who make the point that the insertion of William, 'Willie Wisehead', was based on the mirreading of a charter.

This exclusion changes the numbering of the Hamiltons of Udston. ⁴

John married Margaret MUIRHEAD, daughter of Sir James MUIRHEAD elder, 7th of Lauchope and Janet HAMILTON, by 20 April 1593(charter).¹ (Margaret MUIRHEAD was born about 1567 and died before 4 January 1638 ³.)
