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.

Similarly stirnet.com gives a marriage year of 1634 for the parents of Bethia Hamilton, Sir John Hamilton and Bethia Henderson,which, again, is incompatible with a marriage date of 20 July 1633(contract) for Bethia Hamilton herself. ^{3 4 5}

James next married Anne HAMILTON, daughter of Sir James HAMILTON 5th of Broomhill, 1st Baronet and Margaret HAMILTON.² (Anne HAMILTON was born about 1607.)
