| Note | Such information that we have for William Hamilton is obscure. At the time of his marriage in October of 1877 he was said to be residing in South Dumfries and he was said to be a farmer. His son William Mills Hamilton was born in July of 1878 in Blenheim Township, in or near the village of Bright, and in this record father William is said to be a land agent, but that he was dead. A death registration for William or a place of burial has not been found. We may safely say that William Hamilton the son, born in 1878, is the Willie Hamilton who is buried with his mother, Agnes Harness, in Chesterfield Cemetery in Blandford Township. The story is a bit more complex. See notes for William's wife, Agnes Harkness. |
