Lord James Hamilton Of Cadzow 
James was born about 1422 in Cadzow,Lanarkshire,Scotland. James' father was Lord James Hamilton Of Cadzow and his mother was Janet Livingston. His paternal grandparents were Lord John Hamilton Of Cadzow and Jacoba Janet Douglas; his maternal grandparents were Laird Alexander Livingston Of Callendar and Dundas. He had two sisters named Mary and Marjory. He was the oldest of the three children. He died on November 16th, 1479 in Hamilton,Clydesdale,Larnarkshire,Scotland.1 General Notes
Sir James Hamilton, 6th of Cadzow, 1st Lord Hamilton, so created by royal charter 28 June 1445; at first joined the Douglas revolt of 1455 against James II, later went over to the King's side and helped suppress it, Sheriff Lanarkshire 1 July 1455, had a new charter of all his lands and baronies 23 Oct 1455; married 1st (dispensation 2 Feb 1440/1) Lady Eupheme Graham (died by 1 Nov 1468), eldest daughter of Sir Patrick Graham, Countess of Strathearn in her own right, and widow of 5th Earl of Douglas, and had issue. The 1st Lord Hamilton married 2nd c 25 April 1476 Princess Mary, eldest daughter of James II and previously wife of Thomas Boyd, Earl of Arran, and died 16 Nov 1479, having by her had issue. [Burke's Peerage]
Note: Magna Charta Sureties gives a birth date for James of "ca. 1415". I think this is too early, given his parents marriage of 1422, his own marriage dates, etc.
