Bio
Her Fathers Baptism (1722 not 1726) William Hamilton Gender Male Baptism Date 4 Oct 1722 Baptism Place Stevenston,Ayr,Scotland Father Alexander Hamilton Mother Elizabeth Pollak ********************************************************* Her Parents wedding: William Hamilton Gender Male Marriage Date 11 Feb 1752 Marriage Place Monmouth, New Jersey, USA Spouse Elizabeth McCullough Film Number 004836071 ************************************************************ "Florida was not a State until 1821." Jane Hamilton was born in St. John, Virgin Islands (before there was a US VI vs. British VI). Her father William Hamilton was James Hamilton's brother. William and James Hamilton were both merchants in the Caribbean (they were sons of Laird (Lord) Alexander Hamilton of the Grange, Scotland). James Hamilton was the father of Alexander Hamilton, Founding Father. Jane Hamilton and Alexander Hamilton were first cousins. Jane married Capt. Robert Cooper. This gravesite was visited in May, 2000. It was located on the Solan Polk farm 1 1/2 mi N.E. of Clem, Jefferson Davis Co, Miss. Jane's and one other gravestone were in the woods. (Probably John H. Cooper, the child.) It seems the cemetary may have been located elsewhere and that more graves were there at one time. One book stated that the land was owned by Hamilton Cooper at the time Jane, his mother, died. (One report states that Jane's son, Hamilton Cooper, is buried in the Elysian Fields Cemetery, Harrison County, Texas. Another report says this is not so.) *** See the History of the Captain Robert Cooper Family, dated 1967 compiled by Nina Myers Anderson. Capt. Robert Cooper and Jane (Hamilton) Cooper had the following children: Elizabeth Cooper born abt 1769 Col. Robert Melville Cooper born 19 Jan 1770/1790 Hugh Cooper born abt 1771 John Cooper born 31 Oct 1774 William Gill Cooper born 28 Mar 1775/1777 Eleanor Cooper born abt 1776 Jane Hamilton Cooper born 7 Jan 1782 Mary Cooper born born abt 1783 Jonathan Cooper born 9 May 1785 Senator Hamilton Cooper born 28 May 1789 Sarah "Sally" Cooper born 28 May 1789/1790 Matthew Delamere Cooper born 30 Oct 1792
