Marriage Notes:
"Thomas (Hamilton), the eldest son, is said to have been a merchant in the West Bow of Edinburgh. On 2 and 20 August 1538 he and his cousin James Hamilton of Innerwick made an exchange of lands, Thomas giving the lands of Ballencreiff in excambion for those of Balbyne and Drumcarne, in the county of Perth. On 29 April 1541 he was admitted along with his brother George a burgess of Edinburgh. He was killed at the battle of Pinkie 10 September 1547. He is said to have married, first, Janet, daughter of John Crawford of Bothkennar, but there is no sufficient evidence for this ; and he married Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Leslie of Innerpeffer ; she survived her husband, and was a consenting party, along with her second husband, William Hutson, to a contract in 1557 between her and the curators of her son. They had issue :
1. Thomas.
2. John. [....]
3. Marion, who appears to have married James Makcartney, a lawyer in Edinburgh, with issue.
There seems to have been another son (? Oliver, burgess of Hamilton)."
