I am working on my husband's Hamilton line. I have a Julius Montgomery Hamilton b. 1890 in York County SC. His Father, William H. (possibly Harley) Hamilton b. 1862 and trying to verify if his father was William M. Hamilton b. abt 1829 in South Carolina. I show William M. Hamilton married to a Jane Hamilton (maiden name unknown) in the 1860 and 1870 census living in the Hazelwood community of Chester SC. William H. Hamilton is listed as a son in both records. However, after 1870 William M. Hamilton disappears out of SC. I do show a William Hamilton born in SC living in Mississippi in the 1900 census married to Sarah Hamilton who was 40 years his junior. Curious as to if this is truly my William M. Hamilton and if he was widowed and later had a second family. Any information at all would be much appreciated.
