from The Heraldry of the Hamiltons

Note:

Historical and Genealogical Memoirs of the House of Hamilton presents this Bethia Hamilton as the granddaughter rather than the daughter of John Hamilton and Christian Dalzell. This is not apparently compatible with a marriage contract date of July 1633, assumibg that is correct, especially since in that volume Bethia is said to have been a daughter of a second wife. ^{2 4}
