The following paragraphs on the Hamiltons are from the book Limbs, Branches, and Twigs: A Tree of Hamiltons, Atkinsons, and Barrs (Pampa, Texas, 1994) by my mother, Leora Atkinson Parsons, and are used with thanks to her. http://ourworld.cs.com/krisnnoel/index.htm/. Provided by Noel Parsons
One of the branches was headed by William and Mary Hamilton of Chester County, South Carolina. William was born about 1742, but we don't know where. He and Mary were married in South Carolina about 1766. He died in January 1784 in Chester County. She was born about 1748 in South Carolina and died there, probably also in Chester County, about 1791.
William Hamilton was in America before the Revolutionary War, because he fought in that war. In an article written about a Barr family reunion and published in the Atlanta (Illinois) Argus on 11 September 1911, Andrew Jackson Barr, a great-grandson, stated that Willliam served under Generals Nathaniel Greene and Daniel Morgan. Daughters of the American Revolution records show that he served with General Sumpter's Brigade, Colonel Hampton's Regiment of Light Dragoons, under Captain John Mills.
The Barrs also found that William had been paid a stub entry, posthumously, on 1 October 1786. On 1 April 1786, Mary Hamilton, widow of William Hamilton, who "died in hospital," received annuities. This seems proof enough that William did not die in battle as stated in some sources.
Researchers Dwight and Rosemary Barr have found that William Hamilton was paid, posthumously, on 1 October 1786. On 1 April of that year, Mary Hamilton, widow of William Hamilton, who "died in hospital," received annuities. This seems proof that William did not die in battle, as state in some sources.
The children of William and Mary Hamilton, all born in Chester County, were 1 Mary (Mollie) Hamilton 1767- 2 James Hamilton 15 Feb 1769- 3 Margaret Hamilton 1770- 4 Elizabeth Hamilton 1773- 5 William Newton Hamilton 9 April 1779 6 Nancy Agnes Hamilton 9 April 1779 (Yes, William Newton and Nancy Agnes were twins.)
Dwight and Rosemary Barr of Midvale, Utah, spent some time in 1982 in the basement of the Chester County Courthouse, in Chester, South Carolina, searching through the old records stored there. They found much material about Hamiltons and Barrs, including two William Hamiltons in the same general area. One of them was married to Mary (maiden name unknown), and the other was married to Mary Margaret McCrea, widow. By checking and comparing dates, names of neighbors, and children in court records and so on, they became convinced that Mary Margaret McCrea was not our Mary. Dwight and Rosemary were very generous in sharing the relevant information they found.
