father, Gavin Hamilton, also a native of Scotland, purchased the lands known as Auldtown from the Weirs of Stonebyres in or about the year 1732. His wife was a daughter of Thomas Weirs, of Waterside, who was identified in Scotland with the persecuted Covenanters known as the Scotch Presbyterians, who, under the reign of Charles Second of England, had become exasperated by oppression and taken up arms against their op- pressors, and when in the battle of Drunnilag, in the year 1679, he came to his death in a singular manner ; the bridle rein hav- ing broken, his horse carried him into the enemy's ranks and he was mortally wounded. Gavin Hamilton, the subject of this sketch, was only three years old when his father died, and at the early age of eighteen years, in the year 1810, made his way westward as far as Troy, Ohio. In two years from that time he joined a Government surveying party and assisted in the survey of Northwestern Ohio and Northwestern Indiana and as far West as the Missouri border. In 1821 he was mar- ried to Anna Platter at Miami County, Ohio, and four years afterward removed to Defiance County where he resided until the year 1839, when he, with his family, took up their residence in the county of De Kalb, Ind., on the St. Joe River, then the frontier of civilization. In his new home his fortunes were as varied as the seasons. In the years 1839-'40 he built a saw and grist mill, and in 1841 a flood of water, filling the banks of the St. Joe River to overflowing (called by the pioneers a freshet), swept away the work of those two years. With indomitable energy and perseverance he again went to work, and in a few years had replaced his mills, only to be consumed by fire in the year 1847. Afterward the grist-mill was again rebuilt, and known as the " Orangeville Mills." Mr. Hamilton, in politics, was a Republican. He cast his first vote for James Madison, fourth President of the United States, and adhered to the party through its varied changes, supporting Harrison and Taylor as Whigs, and following his party to the succession of the Re- publican party in 1860, voting for Abraham Lincoln for Presi- dent, and casting his last vote for General U. S. Grant for President in 1872. He neither sought nor held office, but was true to his friends and party. In 1823 he united with the Meth- odist church, and lived a consistent member until the day of his death which occurred on the Ioth day of February, 1874. He had attained to the ripe old age of eighty-two years, his
