Jesse T. HAMILTON, farmer, is a native of Nicholas County, Ky., was born September 8,
1811, the eldest son of James P. and Margaret (TURNER) HAMILTON, Natives respectively
of Indiana and Ohio.  James P. HAMILTON came to Kentucky with his parents when
seventeen years old, where he married, and farmed until 1837, when he removed to
Decatur County, Ind., and closed his life in 1844, aged fifty-four, and his wife hers
in 1855, aged sixty-three years.  James T.  HAMILTON was given charge of the home farm
when twelve years old, and remained in that position until his twenty-second year,
when he began milling in Bourbon County, Ky., and superintended also a small farm.
Later, he purchased a mill property near Lexington, which he managed for eighteen
years. In 1864, becoming complicated in war troubles, he was compelled to leave
Kentucky, and some time afterward purchased a flouring mill in Decatur County,  Ind.;
this he subsequently exchanged for a farm in Rush County, Ind., and three years later
sold this with the purpose of removing to Southwest Missouri, but instead located on
land in Shelby, and then in Boone County, until 1880, and thereafter exchanged the
later farm for 146 acres, where he now lives.  Mr. Hamilton has been twice married -
first, March 29, 1835, to Miss Nancy TURNER, of Kentucky, who died  October 25, 1858,
with Miss Martha NEAL, of Kentucky; five children were born to this union - David M.,
James W.,  Frank B., Hulcea J. and Mary E.  Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton are members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
