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!

If you’ve got any of yours who served in the Revolution look for their pension applications, lots of period detail and odd little historical tidbits that you just don’t find in history books. The land grant of my direct paternal line was on the Dan, southeast of Danbury, which was Crawford then. Western reaches of the Dan were Tory territory though. A number of mine were with Nathaniel Greene and were at Guilford Courthouse.

Regarding the Rev pension apps I mentioned, here’s an example, he’s one of mine. Not prominent at all, played no major role but was a soldier in the Revolution. Sort of pitiful really, but good god the history and the odd perspectives upon it, that guy was all over the place, but refused his pension because he was insulted by the pittance of it, needed it sorely but rejected it, the hard head.

You may be able to find any Rev pension apps you don;t have at this site yourself.
