Welcome from the English midlands.
You have taken your family tree much further back than myself. The name "Hamilton" does appear, but no one of distinction.
Although I was always able to trace my Hamilton family back to the early days in Plymouth and Cape Cod, a lucky find about a DNA study online “broke the dam” back to the UK. After that, it was pretty well documented.

When I was a young lad I was in the ATC (air training core) but I realized no matter how hard I flapped my arms I couldn't fly. So I looked at the navy cadets but I never knew what time it was with all those bells dinging, not only that but I swim like a rock. So I joined the army, figured I could walk further than I could fly or swim. Welcome from NC
Greetings from central NH! My kilt journey began when I was about 12 and joined an Irish pipe band with my Dad. I wore that kilt all through high school but never had one of my own. Finally when I was about 40, I bought my own. Although I had done a lot of genealogical research and knew I had roots in both Ireland and Scotland, I wasn’t sure which tartan to choose so I just went with the Black Watch.
Since then I’ve done more research and I can trace my family through the Hamiltons, straight back to Walter FitzGilbert Hamilton. So my next kilt (Soon!) will be a Hamilton tartan!
I retired from the Navy after 30 years, hence the screen name!
