Looking for information on Reuben HAMILTON who married Sarah FERGUSON in 1833 in Floyd Co.
In 1830, Reuben was in Bullitt Co. KY - and both may have family ties in Bullitt Co.
Would like to find out when Reuben and Sarah died. Looking for cemeteries with Hamilton
and Ferguson burials.
I don't find them in 1840. By 1850, their two children, Mary born 1834 and Richard
born 1838 are back in Bullitt Co. KY living with Sarah's FERGUSON family. Family
tradition says that Mary and Richard were left orphaned at a young age. When Richard
married in 1866 in Bullitt Co. KY, the record says he is son of Reuban, but does not say
if Reuben was present as a witness. I just wonder if Sarah died when her children were
young - and perhaps Reuben was still living in 1866. I am unable to find him anywhere,
however.
Would also like to find parents of Reuben HAMILTON. Any HAMILTON researchers of Floyd Co
out there?
Thanks so much! Tami
