. Andrew J. Hamilton, age 31, farmer, no estate , no personal estate, he &
entire household born in Maine.
. Cornelia S., age 26.
. Wm. J., age 6.
. Dorcas Ross, age 63.
Stone Sloops of Chebeague" (1949), chart, p.106. He died in the south
fighting in the Civil War. His farm now belongs to Groves.
This is obviously a confusing relationship. Here is my educated speculation:
The Dorcas Ross listed in Andrew's household is certainly the mother of
Pamela Ross. This would be strong evidence for the marriage of Pamela to
Andrew. However, "Stone Sloops of Chebeague" gives William Jackson Curit
as Pamela's only husband. It would seem likely that Pamela first married
W.J. Curit and that they had a son, William J.. Mr Curit died and Pamela
married a second time to A.J. Hamilton. Pamela then died before bearing
any more children. Mr. Hamilton raised his stepson. Pamela's mother moved
into the household. Mr. Hamilton married a second time to Cornelia. This
seems to be the only sequence of events that would bring all the facts into
harmony.
