[RegulatorCountry]

I’m descended from NC Regulators several different ways. Ninian Hamilton was my sixth great grandfather, he was quite the colorful old Scot. Another fifth great was bound out to Captain Benjamin Merrill after his mother and he were kidnapped by Cherokee and his father, my fourth great, was killed while on a mission to rescue them. That rescue mission was led by Gen. Hugh Waddell.

Those Hamiltons had quite a colorful history on the Scottish border as well...which is how a lot of them ended up in North Carolina! I think my folks were too far east to be connected with the Regulation. It's my understanding it was focused mainly from Alamance to the west.

I am currently trying to determine if my 6x g-grandfather, who fought at Camden II (Hobkirk's Hill) in SC, was with Greene on the Race to the Dan and at Guilford Courthouse. Exciting stuff!
