notes

Ellin was from the highly regarded Hamilton family of Lanark County,

Scotland. She and John probably married in Lanark County and John probably sailed for America and sent for her about a year later. She
probably sailed from Glasgow and she arrived in Virginia in 1624 on the CHARITIE.

The Hamilton's controlled much of the land east of Glasgow in 1500 - 1600. This land was in Lanark County where the Hamilton and Allison names were very numerous. This was the time that many were fleeing from Scotland. Many went to Ireland for safety and financial reasons. Many moved to America in the early 1600s.

Many Hamilton records exist today attesting their historical

importance in Scotland, Ireland and America. One report says, "In

Galloway have the Kennedys and the Maxwells and the great family of

Hamilton occupy much of Strathclyde."

"The magnificent Hamilton Palace, located in what is now Strathclyde

Regional Park, was pulled down in 1922-1932 as it was found to be sinking

as a result of coal mining operations in the area."

Another said, "the Duke of Hamilton played an important role under

King Charles in the General Assembly in 1638. The Duke of Hamilton

walked out of the Assembly and the King declared the decisions of the

Assembly void."

"The CLAN descended from Walter Fitz-Gilbert of Hameldone, noted in

1295, and granted the lands of Cadzow by Robert the Bruce, descended from

Walter. The King's grandson became Earl of Arran in 1503, and his

grandson was made Marquis, was created Duke of Hamilton in 1643. The

title passed to his daughter, Anne, who married William Douglas, Earl of

Selkirk, later connecting the dukedom with the Douglas family, although

the Duke remains Chief of the Hamiltons, not the Douglas's."
