| David Hamilton, 1st of Cambuskeith (d by 1436) | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | James Hamilton, 2nd of Cambuskeith (a 1436) | ||||||||||||||
| m. Marjory (or Mary) Hamilton (dau of Sir James Hamilton of Preston & Fingalton) | |||||||||||||||
| A. | John Hamilton, 3rd of Cambuskeith (a 1479) | ||||||||||||||
| m. Marion Maxwell (d c1489, dau of Sir John Maxwell of Calderwood) | |||||||||||||||
| 'HamiltonHistory' simply follows Anderson for the first few generations but appears to follow its own research from the following Alexander. | |||||||||||||||
| i. | Alexander Hamilton, 4th of Cambuskeith (d Flodden 1513?) | ||||||||||||||
| m. Marion Cunninghame (dau of Sir Adam Cunninghame of Caprington by Isabel Crawfurd) | |||||||||||||||
| There is quite a bit of contradiction/confusion between/within our sources at this point. Anderson first (pp254-5) shows Alexander & Marion as parents of John & William (see 2nd son below) with John (m1. Janet Stewart, m2. Joneta Montgomery) father of William + Arthur & Elizabeth with William being father (by Christian Farquhar of Gilminscroft) of John who m1. Jane Montgomery of Hazlehead (mother of John) m2. Janet Stewart of Minto (mother of David of Ladieton & Thomas) with John (m. Janet Cunninghame of Caprington but dsp) and David continuing the line. However, on p463, Anderson changes that to show the next Sir John father (by Janet Stewart) of John + William (tutor of Cambushketh, father by Agnes Stewart of Malcom, William & John) + David with John being father (by Janet Montgomery) of Arthur (dvp young) + William + Elizabeth with William father (by Christian Farquhar of Gilminscroft) of John who m. Janet Cunninghame of Caprington (sp). 'HJHeraldry' supports Anderson's revision. 'Principal families of Ayrshire' shows the next John as father (by Margaret Cunninghame of Legland) of John father (by Catherine Farquhar of Gilminscroft) of John & William (see 2nd son below) with John (m1. Jane Montgomery of Hazlehead, m2. Janet Stewart of Minto) succeeded by John (m1. Janet Cunninghamne of Caprington mother of John (dsp), m2. Janet Stewart of Minto mother of David (who continued the line). 'HamiltonHistory' shows as follows. | |||||||||||||||

| m. (by 26.10.1575) John Stirling of Glorat | |||||||||||||||
| b. | William Hamilton (d before 08.01.1568/9, tutor of Cambuskeith) | ||||||||||||||
| This William is identified in various sources ** as the Sir William of Sanquhar who was, inter alia, a Senator of the College of Justice. However, 'HamiltonHistory' shows that Sir William Hamilton differently although it does (p213) report that the William shown here "is stated to have been a cousin of Sir William Hamilton of Sorn and Sanquhar, but evidence of the actual connection between the two families has not been discovered." ** Sources to identify this William as Senator Sir William of Sanquhar include 'Anderson' (p254 & 382) who shows tutor William a generation later, though that is corrected on p463, 'HJHeraldry' (p122), and 'An Historical Account of the Senators of The College of Justice' (Brunton & Haig, 1836, 'Sir William Hamilton of Sanquhar', p83). 'Principal families of Ayrshire' shows Sir William of Sorn a generation later, as 2nd son of John by Catherine Farquhar (## see here ##) & brother of the John who was (wrongly?) shown as m1. Janet Montgomery m2. Janet Stewart. |
