Henry Hamilton emigrated to Ohio in 1849 and became affiliated with the coal mines of Pennsylvania and other places. In a bio about Henry, he was reportedly born July 29, 1829 in Drumads, Co. Tyrone. His parents were not given and that is what I would like to find out.I did find someone's tree that said his parents were Richard Hamilton and Helen Donaldson but I am doubtful as there are no Richards in the descendants.There is another Hamilton connection in my tree which may or may not be connected to Henry. It is Robert Hamilton, married to Margaret Mallon and they lived in Kilsally. Robert's daughter Alice married Joseph Duffin in 1891 in the RC chapel in Stewartstown. Joseph's father Patrick was a cousin to James Duffin who married Mary Caulfield in 1822 in Coalisland and they emigrated to Ohio also,in 1850. They were also Catholic or at least James was.Henry's firstborn son Fredrick J. Hamilton named his first son John Caulfield Hamilton. Coincidence?I do not know the wife of Patrick Duffin or his father or the father of James Duffin or the father of Mary Caulfield.At any rate, right now, I am looking for the father of Henry Hamilton. Henry was affiliated with the Disciple Church in Ohio but don't know if he was Catholic or not when in Ireland.Thanks for any helpPeggy ----
