son of
Robert Hamilton
&

of Dublin Ireland

      Robert was born into one of Dublin's more prestigeous and politically influential families. His uncle, Hugh Hamilton (c1728) was titled "Dean of Armagh" and "Bishop of Ossory". Robert's uncle George Hamilton was a member of parliament for Belfast, Solicitor General, and was "Baron of The Exchequer" His father was titled as "Attornatus". Robert himself was well educated in the classical arts including Greek and Latin.
      It was shortly after his fathers death in 1790 that Robert left Dublin, with a bountiful inheritance, some say because of political differences, and sailed to The United States.
      Robert Hamilton's legacy has flourished through all of his children in the mountains of North Carolina and elsewhere. Through over a dozen generations his issue has multiplied many thousand fold.
