. 1912 BIOGRAPHY.2
James Hamilton, the father of Alexander, was born in County Tyrone, near Strabane, Ireland & came to Canada in 1828. Shortly after immigrating he was married to Rebecca Lawrence. In Ireland he had been engaged in linen weaving, but immediately on coming to Canada took up farming & later went into the real estate business. He was successful in both these ventures & might have become a wealthy man if he had not placed too much confidence in his friends & wreaked his own fortune by going security for others. At his death there was nothing left for his wife & family of 7 children, all of whom were under age.
