His paternal grandmother, Ann Hamilton, came from Belfast,Ireland,atthesame time, and settled in about the same locality nearLancaster City, Penna. She came to America with her brothers WilliamHamilton and Hugh Hamilton and his sister, Mary Hamilton. Her brotherWilliam Hamilton was the grandfather of the distinguished Governor ofSouth Carolina in Calhoun's day, who was known as the Nullifier Governor,in consequence of his advocating the nullification of certain tariff lawspassed by Congress, which he considered adverse to the interests of thepeople of the South. A pretty full though incomplete history of theHamilton family of Lancaster Co, Penna, can be seen in Egles PennsylvaniaGenealogies in 'Notes and Queries' by Colonel Evans of Columbia. Theancestors of the Lancaster Co Hamilton family, of which-as stated-thegrandmother of the subject of this sketch was a member, came fromScotland to Belfast, Ireland, when it became the refuge for thepersecuted Covenanters. They were part of the historical Scotch familyof Hamiltons, one of whom was chosen as the husband of Queen Mary, andanother as the husband of Queen Elizabeth. Family history and familytradition also teach that Alexander Hamilton of revolutionary fame wasalso connected with this same family of Lancaster Co Hamiltons.
