I am looking for information on my great-grandfather, George Hamilton, & my great-grandmother, Barbara Shepard Hamilton.
George was born @ January of 1835, possibly in the Lawrence County Ohio area & probably died around 1905, or so. He lived in Lawrence County, Ohio (Ironton) & was married to Barbara Shepard on July 17, 1869 in Lawrence County.
I have Barbara's full name as "Barbara Jane Shepard", & she was born @ 1850 in West Virginia (Virginia). I don't know when she died, but she appears in the 1880 Census; however, George is listed as a widower in the 1900 Census.
They had 5 children; Lavinia (@1870-?), Eliza (2/23/1876-?), Henry (March 1877-?), John (April 1883-?) & William Homer (my grandfather; 5/7/1889-9/11/1959).
My grandfather never spoke of his parents, or brothers & sisters to my aunts, uncles, & Dad; other than to say that his father & a brother died in some kind of epidemic when he was young. My only surviving aunt was quite surprised to find that her father had 2 brothers & 2 sisters!
I would be grateful if anybody has any information on George, Barbara, or my grandfather's siblings; including any information about where they might be buried.
Thanks.
