Description:
HAMILTONS of Waterborough, York Co., Maine: Their Ancestors and Descendants. By Samuel King Hamilton. 544 pp. 16 illus.; 69 portraits and docs; indexes. Hard cover. 1986 (1912).
David1 Hamilton, a Scottish prisoner who was transported to Charlestown, MA in 1651, soon settled in Dover, NH. His ancestry and descendants are detailed here, with emphasis on five Hamilton brothers, great-grandsons of David, who moved from Berwick, ME to Waterboro, ME in the 18th century. The standard Register format is used and documentation, particularly for the 17th and 18th centuries, is good. Because of the extensive records of Waterboro, ME which Mr. Hamilton included in his book, and the loss of much of Waterboro's records in major fires in 1911 and 1947, his book is often the only source for the existence, location, and description of early landmarks. Excellent for Hamilton descendants and students of the towns of Dover and Rollinsford, NH and the Maine towns of Waterboro, Saco, Berwick and South Berwick.
