THIRTY-TWO FAMILY TREES OF ' ORR'S AND .HAMILTON'S To tha Editor of Th News and Courier: Under your column '"Corner in Ancestors.'' published In Sunday's Issue. I notice that tt was said thst ths orpin of the family of Hamil ton was not known. In the oourse of my private re searches I have had occasion to . examine the gsneralogy of the Hamilton family and think that I may he able to clear ug this point satisfactorily. Hy authority Is Th History of tha Shire of Renfrew." by George Crawford, published In Edinburgh. '17IJ, with notes by lord Sexton. This author gives the full genealogy of the Hamilton family, which Js treated In your Sunday lasue, pages ' ti3-Ht, as follows: 'Tielr origin dfd spring from the Bails of Leicester, In England, who wera desended from the Earls of Mlllant. a great and noble family la Normandy, via: "1. Roger de Bellamont. grand ' son of Furalf of Pontaudomare, by ; Wsvts, sister of Ounora, wife of Richard, first of that name. Duke of Normandy, grand-father of King William li This Roger married Adsllna, daughter of Walleran, Count of Mellaw, and heir to Hugh . Court of Wellaw, her brother: by .whom he had Issue a son. Robert, ' who In right of hit mother suc ceeded to the earldom of Mellaw. I. Robert, Earl of Mellaw. was a man of great parts, equally quali fied for the cabinet, and the ffeld, and being a near relation of Wil liam the Conqueror, cam over to JDng:jd with that great prince, ana had tha command of the right wing of his -army at tha memor able battle of Hastings, when he remarkably distinguished himself. .The conqueror nobly regarded him according to his merit, and be stowed upon him ninety-one lord ships, and manours In the Counties of Warwick. Leicester, Wilts, Northampton and (Sloucester. And ; harlng been a firm, faithful and good friend to King Henry I. Mas. by that Prince, Tte(l Esrl'of trt neater, 1708. And llng now settfod In England, he assumed for his srmnrial bearing the arms of the Earls of Millawjc, vis gules, a cln-que-foil ermine. He communicat ed the ssms to the town of caster, which continues to bear It to this day. and the Hamilton In Bcotland, to denate their descent from that noble family, have the same bearing, only with the varia tion of three clnque-folls for one. "He married a daughter of Hugh surnamrd Wagnus. a younger son of Henry I, of Kranue, by whom he had issue two eons, first Robert. Earl of Leicester, second. Wallern, to whom he gavo the earldom of Wellawx and all his land In Nor mandy. He lived to a great age and died 1118 A. V. He was suc ceeded by his eldest son. 3. Robert, second Earl of Lei cester, who was succeeded by eld est son. "4. Robert, third Earl of Lei cester. "This - Robert had three sons, vis: Robert, Roger, and William. "The third son. William, was the first of the family of Hamilton, of i whom more hereafter for V. Rob ert, fourth. Earl of Leicester, who married Lauretta, daughter of William Lord Brose: but his male line is long since extinct, whereby the 'representation of that noble family fell to the descendants of his brother, William, as Roger died Without Issue, 1202; "William was bom at the Manor of Hambleton In Buckinghamshire.

He married Mn daughter and heiress of Oilbert, Earl of Strathearn, a lady of the first rank and quality in the kingdom; by whom ho had a son, fir Gilbert, who succeeaea him. and 6r whom all the Hamil ton of Scotland are descended." If you w ill permit a criticism of the "Corner (n Ancestors." I should eay Its chief fault lay in the fact that It gives no detailed informa tion with names and tinea or aes cerrt. which robs it of the slightest efflclenv as an authority as histori cal reference. "James, second Lord Hamilton, first Earl of Arran, married Janet, daughter of Bir Ianlel Beaton, of Crelch. Their daughter, Lady Jane Hamilton, married Alexander Cun ningham, fifth Earl Gtencalrn.
