Notes 
Individual:

In a register of Ministers at the Reformation published by the Maitland Club, he is called John, and also on 27 Sep. 1563 when, styled son of the late Archibald Hamilton of Raploch, he appears as a witness. He was appointed vicar of Dunlop in that year and was from 1567 to 1574 reader of that parish. On 16th Dec. 1569 he had a letter, as Hans Hamilton, vicar and exhorter, warranting him to lift the fruits of the said vicarage, and on 11th April, 1586 had a precept of sasine addressed to him as John Hamilton, Vicar of Dunlop. In 1606, he was so unable to serve the benefice that another was presented. He died 30 May, 1608, age 72.

[MSS defective] that in.. should be received.. as deserving (so far as ..... public notice and observation.. This Gent. was born eldest son to a Gentleman.... descended of the Duke Hamilton's family.... by his lands Raploch, now of 400 years standing or thereabouts. This Hans, being found a very hopeful youth, of good parts and disposition, was bred at Schools and Colleges so far as was then usual, yet of no other design, but to given him the accomplishments becoming his station and natural endowments. Butr as it fell out that he was drawn to appear for the Queen Regent in arms, in his youth, and by ill advice, he contracted the displeasure of the reforming party, and thereby, through the malice of the friends of his father's second wife, was deprived of the estate whereunto he was born the righteous heir, and so exposed to what other way of livelihood God would provide for him. In this case, as he had made very commendable progress in human literature, he was advised to betake himself to the study of Divinity, wherein his progress and good behavior were so observable and commendable, that he was ordained Minister of Dunlop in Cunningham, where he lived very usefully and commendable in the whole remainder of his time...and died within..love betwixt them..their neighbors and with..them. 2. That they bred all their sons to creditable employments, and married their daughter creditably to one William Moor, of Glanderstown. 5. In his homely way of speaking, he called his six sons (in allusion to the country expression) his plough; and, on the account of the death of his third son (whereof hereafter), he used often, with grief, to say that his plough was broken. Ten days before he died (being then in good health, though considerably aged), he called for five or six of the discreetest of his parishioners to him, and desired them to accompany him to the church, where he told them, I [sayed he] shall die within few days, and though fit to acquaint you that I design to be buried in this [pointing to the place] spot of ground, and put it upon you to see it so done. On his return to his house, he called at a carpenter's house, and enjoined him.. by him.. his eldest son.. to be erected, whi.. much out of repair and a school.. back of it of considerable value. The names of the above-mentioned six sons, in the order of their birth, are James, Archibald, Gawin, John, William, and Patrick.p 1pp 308-9
