The origin of the illustrious family of Hamilton has been trac by Crawford, Douglas, and other Scotch genealogists, to a JflUii . 4b Hanmldim (so aumanied from the place of his btrdi, the manor J

of Hanieldon, cd. Leicester), whom they asaert to have been ■
Iannger Boa ofRobert de Bellouiont, 3d earl of l^cester, and te HVB hod B son, Gilbert, who, having killed John te Despencer, a favourite officer about tbe court of king Edward IL, fled from the apprehended Vengeancs of that monarch i and being; donety pur- sued into a wood, he aud bin lervaut changed ctdthes with two weodcutters, and, taking their saw, were cutting through an oak tree when their pursuers passed by. Perceiving his servant take notice of them, he hastily cried out to him, "TBnouan ("which word, with the oak and law dirough it, he took for bis motto and creat, in memory of his happy deliverance. This detail is, how- ever, liable to several objections. Neither Dugdale, nor any other of the English genealogists, makes mention of tbe descent of the Hamiltong from tbe earlS of Leicester. According to them, Robert, 3d earl, had3 song, Robert, 4th earl, whod. without issue in 1204; Roger, bishop of St. Andrew's, and chancellor of Scotland, whoi/. in 1202; and WiUiaoi, a leper, ftmnder of the hospital of St- Leonard, at Leicester. That this William died before his eldest brother without issue, is erident, from the circumstance of the great inheritance of the family being divided, on tbe death of the 4th earl, between bis sisters ; and it is further proved liv a deed of Petronella, widow of the 3d earl, that the surname of her son, Williun, was not Hamilton, but de Briloiio. It is, therefore, clear that he was not the progenitor of tbe family of Haniilu>n, whose descent, if derived from the earis (if Leieester at nil (as indeed the similarity of arms, und tiie concurring testiniony of Beveral authors, seem to render probable), must have been from one of tbe younger sons Of the first or second earL We therefore commence our account of the funily with

After the accession of king William, his grace, then earl nf Arran, was twice sent prisoner to the Tower, on suspicion of corresponding with king Jamea II., but was discharged without any proeecutioa in 1697 ! his mother, the duchess of Hamilton, BuirendEred her title to him, and he had precedency accordingly. He Btreanouily opposed the union in 1707 ; and in 170)1, he wan, by an order of council, taken into custody, upon suspicion of being privy to tha intended invasion from France, but was soon adtnitted to bail, and shortly after elected one of Che sixteen peen for Scotland : in Occ 1710, he wae appointed lord-lieuCenant and custaCFonilorum of the CO. palatine of Iiancascer, ranger of the forests there, adm. of the sea-coB9ta, and sworn a privy counsellor.

Suffolk, to him and his heirs male : and one of the reasons redted in the patent of his creation, was his being nearly related to the queen ; hut oa applying for his seat in the houae of lords, it was objected, that, by tne 23d article of the utnon, ■' no peer qf Scallaaul could, u/Mr (Acummt, Be created a peer of England ;" and, after a lung debate, the house resolved arcordingly 30 Dec 17l6. This resolution, however, was reversed by a subsequent decision of tbe house of lords in 1782, on the petition of Douglas, eighth duke, when, after hearing the judges, the house resolved that his grace was entitled to a writ of summons as duke of Brandon. Previous to his grace's intended departure for Paris, bo arfepted a challenge from Cbarlea, lord Mohun ; a duel ensued in Hyde Park, Sunday 15 Nov. 171a, in which he kiUed lard Itlohun, but was immediately aftel killed himself, by the treachery, as- was strongly suspected, of gen.
