Gray, born on 20 March 1748 in Essex County, New Jersey, enlisted
as a Private in the summer of 1775 in Essex County. He served for various
periods totaling 18 months under the command of Capts. Baker and Brown,

- "Wm. H. Hamilton" obituary, The Western
Star (Lebanon, Ohio,) Thursday July 7, 1887
". . .. His father, Robert Hamilton, was born in Bainbridge,
county Down, Ireland, in 1760; came to America when but a lad of fourteen
years, and shortly afterward became a soldier of the Revolutionary war;
he served throughout the war, much of the time under command of Gen. Anthony
Wayne. He was with him at the storming of Stoney Point, and was
one of the men to lift him up when a glancing bullet had felled the brave
commander. Afterwards he was captured by his own brother, a British
officer, but refused to go home to Ireland if set free, preferring to
fight for his newly adopted country. . .."
- 20 Jan 2011 Annette
Pederson :
" . . . I am a member of Anne
Loucks Chapter in Martinez, CA,. My patriot, Robert Hamilton, is listed
on our website.
" Also, I read the brief biography that is posted on your website
for Robert and I believe there in an error. The comment about his brother
capturing him at Germantown is taken out of context. According to the
family biography, Robert was wounded and captured at the famous battle,
but he did not have an older brother, so it likely that the British officer
was a step brother or close relative. He is quoted as saying, “Brother,
Bobbie”, but the relationship is unclear."

- I think the Thomas Hamilton listed in the The
Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, Vol. 2, p. Serial 11999,
Vol. 8 was the Thomas Hamilton of whom it was written in an 1889 Edgar
County, Illinois county history:
"The maiden name of the mother of Mrs. [Hannah Patterson] Hanley
was Nancy Hamilton. She was a native of Virginia, born near
the town of Moresfield and was the daughter of Thomas Hamilton, who
was born in England. He served in the English army and as a
soldier of that army was brought over the Atlantic to fight the colonists.
This he did not wish to do, so deserted the ranks and located in Virginia
and lived in Palmyra, Warren County, the remainder of his days"

of Hannah (Patterson) Hanley]
- The IGI gives his death as 1827 in Mason, Warren
County, Ohio, which would be consistent with an interment in Unity

Ross Johnson did extensive research on the Ross family. Alexander
Ross is our stopping point on that side of the family. What we
are lacking for him is his place of birth (country of Origin), his parents,
emigration date to the US. We know he traveled to Brownsville (Redstone)
in Pa, then moved with his inlaws to Franklin in Warren County . He served
in the Rev War, at Battle of Brandywine, Paoli (captured), and Whiskey
Rebellion. My mother, Mary Ross Apgar visited the Warren County Courthouse
and examined their records in person. It was from there that she discovered
Alexander Ross (1755-1809) and his wife, Nancy
Ann Ross, were buried in Dicks
Creek Cemetery. There is no gravestone, as it may have been destroyed
or removed over the years. We also have references from the Kidner family

"Richard Arnold St. John is now a member of the National Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution (Nat. No. 178151 and Colorado No.
2098). I am also the Chaplain of the Pikes
Peak Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, State of Colorado.
This verifies my link to John St. John and proves that I had a direct
relative in George Washington's army. John was in the Chester CO. NY Militia
under Capt. Thaddeus Crane and Maj Nathaniel DeLaven."
