General Notes: Husband - Robert Hamilton

---

He was one of six brothers who emigrated from Ireland to America about the close of the Revolutionary war.
He was a weaver and settled in 1782 in what is now Sewickley township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He held membership in the United Presbyterian church.
He took an active part in the "Whiskey Insurrection."
He and his wife reared a family of nine children.

He was a weaver in Ireland, but in 1782 he immigrated to America and settled in what is now Sewickley township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he followed farming. Five of his brothers preceded him to the United States and settled near Fort Pitt, on the present site of Pittsburgh, since which time he heard nothing of them or their descendants.
He was, while in Ireland, a member of the Covenanter church, but in this country he became identified with the Associate Reformed, later the United Presbyterian church.
