not specify which of his father's two wives was his mother. He was called
"Uncle Jack". Page 113 states: "He owned Eastern Point and built the
Guilliam's house, which was lived in later by his son, John F. Hamilton. He
was a man of wealth giving his sons stone sloops and setting his son James
Monroe up in business at Hamilton Landing - Hamilton & Co." Page 91
identifies him as owner of the stone sloop "Susan Jane", which hailed from
Casco bbay till 1878.
The 1860 census for Cumberland, Cumberland Co., Maine, Chebeague Island
(Ancestry.com image 40 of 44), lists John Hamilton, age 55, farmer, real
estate valued at $1200, personal estate valued at $1000, he & entire
household born in Maine.
. Mary, age 57.
. John F., age 26.
. Julia Henley, age 21 [Perhaps widowed; she & her daughter living with her
parents ?]
. Rebecca C. or E., age 19
. Nattie S., age 3 [the enumeration is confusing as to whether she was
Hamilton or Henley. It seems unlikely that John & Mary would have had a
single child 16 years after the previous one, so I suspect that this is
probably the child of Julia.]
