"Thomas Hamilton lives on section 34. He has a farm of 240 acres, with fine
buildings. When quite young, his father George Hamilton, moved to Edgar Co.,
Ill., where he died in 1842. When sixteen years of age (1838), Thomas took his
fortune in his own hands. Leaving home he went to Winnebago Co., Ill., worked
at farm work until 1842, when he came to Green county. The first few years he
worked summers in the villages of the county, and in the winter in the pineries,
running in the season on rafts below; thus he was occupied until he was married
in 1845. His wife was Levanche Randall. By this marriage six children were
born, five of whom are living--George, residing in Brodhead; Thomas, of
Winnebago Co., Ill.; Alexander, in the same county; Emma, wife of Myron Bliss,
of Winnebago Co., Ill.; Eva, wife of F. Burke, resides at Virginia City, Nev.;

wife. He was again united in marriage with Mrs. Jane Forbes, widow of Isaac
Forbes. She was living at the time of marriage in Davids township, Stephenson
