Alias:<ALIA> Thomas /Hamilton/
Scots Peerage writes, Vol IV, p. 347, of his so n James' acquisition of
Raploch, starting with this Walter:
"Walter of whom little is known. He is named in a charter deted 20 May
1441, by Sir James Ham ilton of Cadzow, afterwards Lord Hamilton, granting
to his cousin James Hamil ton, son of the late Walter Hamilton, the lands
of Raploch, co Lanark [3]. Th is Walter therefore seems to be the the true
ancestor of the Hamiltons of Rap loch and others. The Thomas referred to
in this connection in the "House of H amilton", and described as of
Darngaber, is not found so styled, and he appea rs to have been a servant
and not a son of the family [4].
