In his genealogy, "Hamilton Family Record" (1874), A. Boyd Hamilton gave the lineage of his great-grandfather John Hamilton, who came from County Down, Ireland to Pennsylvania in 1729 with his uncle Hance Hamilton who led a colony of Scots-Irish settlers to Marsh Creek in Adams County. The book traces John Hamilton the immigrant to his great-great-grandfather John Hamilton of Hamilton's Bawn (father of Sir Hans Hamilton of Hamilton's Bawn), the son of Rev. Hans Hamilton who was a grandson of James Hamilton 3rd laird of Raploch and his wife Isabel Weir of Blackwood, Lanarkshire.
