Biographical Summary from Hamilton Memoirs

Colonel Alex. Hamilton of Innerwick and Lawfield, who, in an authentic writ, is designed eldest lawful son of Alexander Hamilton of Fenton and Lawfield, etc. This Colonel Alexander Hamilton, having gone into the service of the Czar of Russia, obtained an ample birthbrief of his pedigree and descent, as above deduced, under the great seal, and attested by the following noblemen, viz., the Duke of Hamilton, the Earls of Cassilis, Lothian, Annandale, Tweedale, Drumlanrig, and Home, Lord Borthwick, and many others, dated 1st March 1670. As, according to Douglas in his Baronage, left no succession, in him ended the male line of Sir Alexander Hamilton of Fenton, son of Sir Alexander of Innerwick, by his first wife, Margaret Whytelaw, whereby the representation devolved upon the descendants of Sir James Hamilton of Hoprig, eldest son of the said Sir Alexander, by his second wife, Christian Hamilton, to whom we now return.
