About Gawin Hamilton of Balleygalley
From 'The Hamilton MSS' - https://archive.org/stream/hamiltonmanuscri00belf/hamiltonmanuscri0...:
"The third brother, Gawin (as has been said)," was bred unto and followed merchandise with great industry and success. He married Helen Dunlop, of a family then and now in good account in the same parish, whereof Hans was * and had by her two sons, Archibald, and James, and two daughters, Jane and Helen — of whom afterwards. He died by water near Colrain, using some means in a cog boat for guiding out his three ships over the Bar of Colrain. There were two ship- men with him, whereof one died with him in the overturning of the boat, and the other was saved by swimming. He died under thirty years of age, and was creditably buried in the church of Col- rain, with great lamentation, partly on account of the accident, and partly that he was a very oblig- ing and thriving gentleman, and likely to have been very beneficial to all that place."
of Ballygawly
The third eldest son of Hans (vicar of Dunlop) was named Gawin. He moved to Coleraine, county Antrim, and his children lived on the “inherited” lands in Antrim and Down. Source: https://garymcguire.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/the-curious-connection...
