James Jacob Hamilton Jr. Who was the brother of Alexander Hamilton.

There are family photos, birth records, records for the sons of the American Revolution, etc.

So I'm pretty sure of the link back to James Jacob Hamilton Jr. and Rachel Faucette.

And once I realized that Alexander Hamilton was my 4th Great Uncle, I was able to find on-line his very well researched family tree from this site:

http://famouskin.com/_alexander_hamilton_family_tree.php

I believe the information contained there because I have always read that Alexander Hamilton, although a bastard (as was my 4th GGF) had a family background that was classic aristocracy.

First I looked at the famous kin, then looked more closely at the Ahnentafel information on that side and that is where I found the ancestors I mentioned.

I guess I was assuming that site listing famous kin of Alexander Hamilton was correct...maybe I am wrong?

PPS please reply to this post, Pipi, and let me know if anything I have listed is from an unreliable source or anything as far as you can see. I would hate to be embarrassed by an obvious error! You have some expertise in this area so perhaps you can see any rookie mistakes I have made. Thank you in advance!
