| A. | Robert (not Hugh) Hamilton in Maybole (d 08.1698) the first mentioned by BLG1952 | ||||||||||||||
| 'HamiltonHistory' identifies Robert's wife as Janet, dau of John Blackwood in Ayr but HJHeraldry identifies her as an unnamed dau of Robert Blackwood of Ayr. 'AndersonMemoirs' supports the latter but adds that her father was also father of Sir Robert of Pitreavie. That is supported by BLG1952 which names her Janet.
