Bet. August 25 - September 20, 1759 

born about 8-1756, probably Berwick, Maine

On May 14, 1818 MARY GOULD dies in Cambridge, ME.  BY 1820 CENSUS it shows that ELIJAH has probably another wife.  After all, he still had small children to raise. My thought is there probably is an error on Elijah and Mary’s gravestone as to her birth date as she really needs to be 10 years younger to be “birthing” babies until 1808.  Nancy Hamilton shows up on the 1840 census and 1850.  By 1850 when the whole household is shown, she is residing with Jonathon and Mary Watson most likely her son.  Her age in the 1850 census co-insides with the gravestone information as she dies June 25, 1852 at 81 years 7 months.  She is buried next to her 1st Husband, Jonathan Watson who died Jan 31, 1814.  Elijah and Nancy’s graves are close to each other.  Nancy and Jonathan children would be Jonathan, Nathaniel, Solomon and Ephraim.  They could have had additional children.

This is what Samuel Hart Hamilton the brother of  Elijah Hamilton writes about him and about Jonathan the dad  in his Hamilton Genealogy in 1892.

My father's family was related to Jonathan Hamilton born in Harmony, Maine July 15, 1801 and died Agusut 18, 1855 at the Aldrich Hotel, Aldrich, Minnesota and lies buried on the farm of a Mr. Armstrong, about 1/2 mile from the station.  (then there is a notation 'his remains were taken up in 1897 and re-buried in a family cemetery on the old S.H. Hamilton homestead in Germania Township, Todd Co, MN.)

The Samuel H. Hamilton journal reports his father “died August 18, 1885 at the Aldrich Hotel, Aldrich, Minnesota and lied buried on the farm of a Mr. Armstrong, about 1/2 mile from the station.”   His remains were removed in 1897 to the Hamilton Cemetery site.

From Saturday, 29 August 1885 newspaper: Jos. N. Hamilton went to Aldrich to attend the funeral of his father, Jonathan Hamilton, who died last Wednesday.  He reports that farmers are still cutting their grain in that section, and that corn is not so promising as with us.  The latter crop was badly set back by a frost in June.

Mrs. Sarah Hamilton died on 23 February 1885.
Elder Jonathan Hamilton died on 19 August 1885.
