I FOREWORD

RS. LEANDER J. McCORMICK of

Chicago in 1897 published a volume of

“Genealogies and Reminiscences” record¬

ing the lineage of her branch of the

Hamilton family and tracing it back to the

Irish Dukes of Abercorn. It has been

thought desirable to bring up-to-date the information col¬

lected by that saintly lady relative to the descendants of her

father, John Hamilton. The compiler wishes it had been

possible to include short biographical mention where desir¬

able of those not already noticed in Mrs. McCormick’s

volume, but many other claims on the available time have

prevented pursuit of the matter thus far.

The plan followed in presenting the data is the simplest

that could occur to the compiler. Five of the sheets repre¬

sent respectively the lines of descent from five of John

Hamilton’s seven children. The eldest child, James

Gilbreath Hamilton, had no issue. There are no living

descendants of the sixth child Alexander McNutt Hamilton,

for whose familv a short note has been deemed sufficient.

The making of this little work has been a labour of love.

The compiler must, perhaps, ask forgiveness for the manner

in which relatives, near and far, known and unknown, have

been called upon for what has amounted to, in some cases at

least, the revival of long-forgotten details. But it is felt

that many of the victims will be secretly pleased, since do

we not all appreciate being reminded occasionally that the

course of humanity is never-ending, that we ourselves

should not be here but for those who have gone before?

* * * * *

To “Cousin Minnie” (Mrs. John H.) Christian, of

Richmond, Virginia, I owe much gratitude for reinvigora¬

ting the compiler’s interest in the Hamilton descent, and the

appearance of this little work is thus entirely due to her.

And to “Cousin Kate” (Mrs. William H.) Beebe of

Chicago, would 1 offer my particular appreciation of her

assistance in the collection of family data.

Others to whom I would express my especially sincere

thanks for their cooperation are Cousin Tracy Hamilton

Clark, Cousin Mary Ellen Osborne, Cousin William H. Mortimer and Cousin Ruth Krebs.

While 1 trust that no inaccuracies in names or dates have

crept in, I shall be grateful to my kin for any corrections or

additions they may be in a position to make. It is proposed

to forward a bulletin of such final alterations to the recipients

of copies of this work after a lapse of a short period of time.

The somewhat lengthy delay in the appearance of the

work is due to the passing to the Great Beyond, on Novem¬

ber 20th, 1932, oi: my Mother.

John Hamilton

JOHN AND ELIZABETH McNUTT HAMILTON

^ Q:OHN HAMILTON, the youngest son of

James Hamilton, of Botetourt County,

Virginia, and grandson of James Hamilton

of Glennagoorland, County Tyrone, and

Winchester, Virginia, was born on June

9th, 1789, at the family home near

Buchanan. We read* that he was of “medium height (five

feet seven inches), had a fair complexion, light blue eyes, a

Roman nose and fine dark hair. He removed to Rockbridge

County when twenty-four years of age, and married

Elizabeth, daughter of Alexander and Rachel Grigsby

McNutt, on August 29, 1816. They were blessed with

seven children:

1. James Gilbreath

2. Rachel Grigsby

3. Henrietta Maria (named by her father for the wife

of Charles I.).

4. Margaret Jane

5. Martha Elizabeth

6. Alexander McNutt •n / . Isabella Rebecca

A few years after his marriage John Hamilton purchased

an estate five miles southeast of Lexington, on which he

lived the life of a typical Virginia planter for the remainder

of his days. A most interesting feature of plantation life in

that region in those days w'as the presence of faithful and

devoted negro slaves, of whom John Hamilton owned a

limited number and some of whom lived in the family for

half a century. In 1825 he built a brick residence, “Locust Hill,” where

he brought up his family, and led a happy rural life, sur¬

rounded by orchards, vines and forest trees, and in full view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, four miles distant. He

planted the lawn with locust trees. The house, now known

as “Kalopha,” still remains in a good state of preservation,

although the interior was burned out in 1854 and afterward

restored plainly. John Hamilton was energetic and enterprising, and in

addition to his farming interests carried on a forwarding

business to Richmond via the James River for some years. He was public-spirited, and always took part in promoting

any movement brought forward for the public welfare.

He was an exceptionally genial and hospitable man, and was

beloved and respected greatly by a large circle of friends and acquaintances, over whom he exerted a wide influence,

as well as upon his children and servants.

When forty three years of age he united with the

Methodist Episcopal Church, and by his confession “was

born again,” August 21, 1832. His conversion wrought a

wonderful change in him, and his life thereafter was gov¬

erned by religious convictions. From that time until his

death—a period of forty years—he devoted himself to

religious works and charities mostly in connection with the

church of his choice. He was deeply interested in the Bible Society, in which he was a life member and an active worker.

John Hamilton was a lover of nature, delighting in the

beauties of the fair valley and the grandeur of the Blue

Ridge; and in his old age it was his pleasure to ride to the

Natural Bridge, twelve miles distant, and feast his eyes on

that marvel of Nature’s handiwork. He and his wife made

three visits to their children in Chicago at a period when it

required three or four days to make the journey. On their

first visit, in 1 852, he was impressed with the prospective

greatness of the young city,.£.ad.bought forty acres of land

in the southwestern quarter, which afterward became valu¬

able. Their second visit was in the autumn of 1856. At

that time he became enthusiastic over the growth and enter¬

prise of the place. Their third visit was made in 1859-60,

when they remained six months, returning home to undergo

the vicissitudes and privations of the Civil War, which broke

out the following spring. In politics, John Hamilton was a

Whig until over seventy years of age, and then only em¬

braced the Democratic or State’s Rights doctrines when

compelled to do so by the secession of the State of Virginia,

which up to that time he had opposed as vigorously as a

private citizen could. But he yielded at last, when invasion

was threatened, and gave his support to the cause of the

South. They were not molested at any time during the

great struggle. He lived seven years after the close of the

war, long enough to behold with dismay the desolation and

misery brought upon his beloved state and people. He was

a pall-bearer at the funeral of General Thomas J. Jackson

(“Stonewall”).

John Hamilton died in his eighty-fourth year, on August

7, 1872. At the moment of his departure he expressed

consciousness of the event by throwing out both hands, as if

to say, “Good-bye, good-bye,” to those around him, and

immediately expired in the hope of a blessed resurrection.

Thus ended a long life of great usefulness and happiness.

At a Quarterly Conference of Lexington Circuit, Meth¬

odist Episcopal Church, South, held at Wesley Chapel,

August 10, 1872, the following preamble and resolutions

were adopted:

Whereas Divine Providence has recently removed from

among us our late brother, John Hamilton, ripe in years,

and ready for his change;

And Whereas, in view of his long connection with this

Conference as a worthy servant of the Church, it is but

right that we should express our appreciation of his life,

and our sorrow at his death, therefore,

Resolved, That in the death of our venerable friend

and brother, John Hamilton, our Church loses the service

and example of one whom it can only afford to spare in

humble trust that the great Head of the Church will raise

up others to take the place thus made vacant.

Resolved, That we rejoice in that grace which so long

sustained our brother in the enjoyment of a Saviour’s love,

and at least so sweetly cheered him on to victory over his 4 4

last foe.

Resolved, That we tender to his sorrowing family and

friends our sympathy with their grief, and commend them

to Him who alone can comfort us in our tribulation,

humbly trusting that both they and ourselves may eventually

gain admittance into the “rest” remaining for “the people

of God,” theie to enjoy a part in the blessed re-union of

Heaven.

Resolved, That this minute be spread upon our journal

and that it be published in the church papers and the

papers of Lexington and copies be sent to the family.

J. E. Armstrong, President.

A. J. Hamilton, Secretary.

Elizabeth, wife of John Hamilton, and third child of

Alexander and Rachel Grigsby McNutt, was born in Rock¬

bridge County, Va., on March 23, 1794.

When seventeen years of age she was a pupil at Ann

Smith Academy, Lexington, where her daughters afterward

were educated.


Her wedding dress was of closely woven white twilled

silk, called “Levantine,” made demi-train, gored plain in

the front and sides, gathered in the back, the bodice short,

with low neck and short sleeves, and it was trimmed with a

quilling of white satin ribbon. She wore long white kid

gloves and white kid slippers. Her bridesmaid was her

first cousin, Hannah Ingram Grigsby, and Charles P.

Dorman, of Lexington, Va., acted as groomsman. After

the wedding the bride and groom made a tour to Winchester,

where the groom had relatives, amongst whom were an

uncle, John Hamilton, and an aunt, Jane Barton, his father’s

sister. They made the journey in a new gig, which was

considered very stylish and novel in those primitive days.

After enjoying the hospitality of their relatives they

returned to begin the journey of life together by laying the

foundation for a successful future. Their home in which

they lived happily together nearly half a century, though in

the midst of hills and removed from the world’s great

thoroughfares, was ever the dearest spot'to them.

Elizabeth McNutt Hamilton was a most hospitable

hostess to her numerous friends, who loved to visit in the

old Virginia style. As with all gentlewomen of the olden

time, her home was her sphere. Her sound principles and

her religious life, by her exemplary behavior and conversa¬

tion, were impressed, upon her children and on others with

whom she came in contact. She wTas a person of fine breed¬

ing and culture.

Elizabeth McNutt Hamilton died on Good Friday,

April 7, 1871, aged 77 years, and wras buried on Easter

Sunday.

She was five feet seven inches in height; her complexion

was very fair, her eyes were blue, and the lines of her face

w’ere classic in type.”

ALEXANDER McNUTT HAMILTON

LEXANDER McNUTT HAMILTON,

the sixth child and second son of John and

Elizabeth Hamilton, was born on February

24th, 1830. On November 25, 1857, he

married Virginia Burns Smith, daughter of

Abram Smith and his third wife, Charlotte

Gambill, of Rockingham County, Virginia. Three children

were born of this marriage. The eldest was Lenwood

Hamilton who was born on September 1 8, 1858. He never

married and died sometime after 1900 but it has been found

impossible to ascertain the precise date. The second child,

Henry Jewett Hamilton, born on July 6th, 1860, died in

infancy on May 4th, 1862. The third child, who was born

on November 15th, 1868, was named Alexander Burns and

was known to his family and friends as “Allie.” Alexander

Burns was twice married, on the first occasion, as the com¬

piler of these notes is reputably informed, to the daughter

of an Italian gentleman in the musical profession. Of his

second wife no record has been found. No children resulted

from either of these alliances. Alexander Burns died on

March 12, 1910.

An interesting account of Alexander McNutt Hamilton

is furnished in Mrs. McCormick’s book on pages 201-3.

There is also a portrait facing page 201.

CONCLUDING NOTE

Mrs. George (Cousin “Jennie”) Ross is senior living

descendant of John and Elizabeth McNutt Hamilton by

family precedence being the eighth child of Rachel Grigsby

Osborne, eldest daughter of John and Elizabeth McNutt.

Mrs. William H. Beebe (Cousin “Kate”), the senior living

descendant by age, is the second child of John and Elizabeth

McNutt’s third daughter, Margaret Jane Krebs. The

titular head of the family, according to the European man¬

ner of reckoning, is Lyle Hamilton Clark, born on

November 21, 1916, great-great-great-grandson of John

and Elizabeth McNutt Hamilton. It is a remarkable fact

that there is no living descendant with the Hamilton sur¬

name, i. e. there is no direct male descent. The total

number of living descendants (October 1st, 1932) is one

hundred and twenty-four, and of deceased, forty.

Zeannette Krebs is the last member of the family to have

been born at “Locust Hill,” the present “Kalopha,” on

January 19, 1917.
