Biographical History
Family patriarch James Clay Hamilton, 1838-1925, was a regionally prominent wharf boat proprietor, grain dealer, and insurance salesman from Uniontown, Kentucky, whose associates included businessmen from Morganfield, Paducah, Evansville, Tell City, and Louisville. His correspondence consists of legal, insurance, receipt, order, transportation, and grain trade documents. The Hamilton family was connected to several notable persons via marriage and business. A loose scrapbook includes newspaper clippings of family births, deaths, and marriages, as well as military paraphernalia. It also contains Union County (Ky.) Advocate articles on Hamilton family members Col. J.D. Givens, Major J.C. Hamilton, and Tech Sgt. William Lyle Hamilton, who was killed over Germany in a 1943 bombing mission.
