HAMILTON, MIDKIFF



John HAMILTON, a native of Moore County, was born April 19, 1825, and is a

son of William and Rachel HAMILTON, natives, respectively, of South

Carolina and East Tennessee.  The father, when a young man, went to

Tennessee, where he was married, and soon came to this part of the State.

He was a farmer by occupation, and owned about 300 acres in what is now

Moore County.  He died in 1873.  The subject of this sketch was reared on

the farm, and secured a fair education in the district schools near

Lynchburg.  In 1847 he married Ann, daughter of Preston and Nellie MIDKIFF.

 Mrs. HAMILTON was born in Moore County, in June, 1826, and by her marriage

became the mother of four children:  John, Nancy, James and Susan.  Mr.

HAMILTON, after moving around for some time, bought 100 acres of land,

where he located, and where he has since resided.  He now owns 738 acres of

valuable land.  He has always been a hard-working, industrious man, and has

been quite successful in his occupation.  In 1857 he bought a mill, and has

done considerable business, both in grinding grain and sawing lumber.  He

is a Democrat in politics, and Mrs. HAMILTON is a member of the Lutheran

Church.
