Greenberry Templeton's sister Mary J Voris' daughters Julia and Annette
Mary J. Templeton was five years older than her closest sibling, Greenberry S. Templeton. Both were children of John and Eliza Templeton and raised in Cochran's Grove, Shelby County, Illinois. Mary married Charles Voris on November 6, 1860. Mary and Charles Voris had two daughters, Annette Elize and Julia (who died at age nine). Greenberry must have been very fond of his two nieces.
...
Greenberry's first two children were also daughters. He first daughter was born April 21st, 1872 there in Windsor, Shelby County. Greenberry named his daughter Julia Aletha Templeton. This was likely in honor of his young niece Julia Voris who had recently passed away. Julia Aletha would go by 'Aletha' as her common name all her life. Aletha married Frank Hamilton (son of Supplina and Jane Hamilton) in Endicott, Whitman County, Washington on November 15th, 1891.
...
Greenberry's second daughter was Laura Annette Templeton. It is possible that Laura Annette was named after his other niece, Annette Voris. Laura Annette went by the name 'Nettie' or 'Annettie' all of her life. Laura Annette Templeton married Judd Hamilton (the brother of Frank Hamilton mentioned above) on December 13th, 1893 in Whitman County, Washington. (posted by Glen)

Hamilton children in Nespelem City Cemetary
A kind soul documented the graves in the Nespelem City Cemetary for Interment.net. Among the graves are three of Maurice and Elsie Hamilton's children: Hamilton, Darrel, b. 1921 - d. 1936,
Hamilton, Jimmie, b. 1928 - d. 1929, Hamilton, Mazie, b. 1890 - d. 1893. The last entry for Mazie the researcher said was 'hard to read.' Mazie was born in January 1930 (or possibly Dec. 1929). She was five years old when she died.
This link also provides directions to the cemetary. When I was a child and living in Elmer City, WA every memorial day we went to the graves and spent time cleaning them up and tending or planting the flowers. I can still hear the meadowlarks singing and the beautiful flowers called 'flags' that mark the grave sites. (posted by Glen)

Hamilton Families by DNA
Hamilton's like much of the family history world is looking to DNA markers to make some order out of long forgotten (or poorly documented) family lines.
The Hamilton National Geneaolgical Society has been coordinating the collection and comparision of Hamilton family DNA lines. They use the Family Tree DNA testing service (http://www.familytreedna.com)
The page linked here is to a family line grouping table. Groups A through K are known related Hamilton lines via DNA markers. Group X is all the rest.
I'm ordering the test... so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully we won't end up in Group X! If we match any existing group my best guess is that Group K would be the most likely. But who knows! Likely we'll be in for some surprises.
Going forward as more Hamilton families participate more data will be available for comparision.

The personal biography of Dan Hamilton is waiting for an author to write a 'wiki' for him. This bio of the group may also be edited if there are inaccuracies.

Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds on YouTube.com
This is pretty amazing. Danny and group remembered. Some of the most interesting music videos are those by a former friend and band member of Danny's, Roberto Kawata, who has incorporated slides with previously unpublished recordings of the group playing LIVE. One of the comments on one of the video posts caught my eye: "I believe All Music Guide stated it best in their bio; 'Dan Hamilton was certainly an underrated and creative talent, and this album is an achievement by an artist who should have had many more hits leading a multi-talented band.'

History Link Article on Daniel Bagley, Minister who married Amasa Galloway & Elizabeth Jordan
Here is a link to a fascinating article on HistoryLink.org about Daniel Bagley. Mr. Bagley was a pioneer Methodist minister and Newcastle coal mine manager who married Amasa Galloway and Elizabeth Jordan in King County, in 1870. The noted Newcastle coal mines were just a few miles south of Amasa's homestead near what is now Bellevue / Factoria... down what is now Coal Creek Parkway. Seattle's Bagley Avenue, northward from the shores of Lake Union, honors both Daniel and his son, Clarence Bagley. (posted by Glen)

History of Sarah Jane (Sumpter) Hamilton's family
This link (discussion thread) tells us some of the history of the Sumpter's. This Sumpter family member has shared a transcribed version of Alexander Sumpter, Jr.'s family history notes. The notes were written in Alexander Jr.'s own hand in a notebook in the possession of his son, John A. Sumpter. As a point of interest, Alexander Jr., his family (including son John A.) and his father Alexander Sr. are listed in the 1900 US Census in the same household in Santiam Precinct in Linn Co. Oregon (see the Docs section of the site). Alexander Jr. was the baby in his mother's womb, Nancy (Prather) Sumpter, when Alexander Sr. and Nancy crossed the Oregon Trail in 1853 with their eight daughters. One of those eight daughters was 15 year old Sarah Jane Sumpter, who would marry Supplina Hamilton in 1858. She is my grandfather's grandmother. Grandma 'Jane' was born in Missouri. Her little brother Alexander, Jr. writes some details of the Sumpter family history stories. Here is a quote I especially like: "Grand Father Sumpter... George Wash Sumpter... born in Virginia in time of the Revolutionary War... was carried in his mothers arms in to Washington's Army to see his father." This is amazing! 'Grandfather' George Washington Sumpter was named for General George Washington and as a babe in arms visited Washington's army where infant George's father was serving under Washington! It also appears that the noted General Sumpter who fought in the Revolution was also a relative. It was for General Sumpter that Fort Sumpter (sometimes spelt 'Fort Sumter') in Charleston Harbor in South Carolina was named. The Civil War broke out at Fort Sumpter on April 12, 1861.

History of the 130th Illinois Infantry in the Civil War.
John P. Hamilton, believed to the the son of John and Altha (Judd) Hamilton served in the 130th Illinois Infantry, Company K. The infantry saw significant action. Amazing they lost only 20 men in battle but they lost a staggering 157 men to disease. The most common killer was Typhoid... caused by bad sanitation and poor water. (posted by Glen)
