Hugh Hamilton
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.
