Hugh Hamilton was born around 1795 in Ireland. He eventually moved to Cecil County, Maryland, and he married Sarah Wilcox on May 20, 1835. They had at least four children: John, born around 1835; Hiram, born around 1837; George, born around 1841; and Mary, born around 1845. He worked as a weaver in Cecil County, and by 1850, he owned $200 of real estate. His wife probably died in the mid-1860s. By 1870, he was living in his son John’s household in Cecil County. He died sometime after 1870.
