I believe that a son named John Hamilton (Jacobite) (abt. 1650 - on or shortly after July 12, 1691) should be added as a son of George Hamilton and Mary Butler. John was a Major General in James II's Royal Irish Army and died from a battle wound at the Battle of Aughrim which occurred on July 12, 1691. John died in Dublin shortly after the battle. Wikipedia document clearly states that John had a son James Hamilton that fought in the Siege of Derry which occurred sometime in 1689.

This John is very well documented with various sources in Wikipedia. Please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hamilton_(Jacobite)

As for the confusion concerning the Hamilton Y-DNA and the Douglas Y-DNA.

In one instance of the Douglas Y-DNA: Y-DNA I-L338 for all of Walter Hamilton of Darngaber's male line? Possibly. (my early Great-grandfather, on my grandMother's side) Y-DNA is possibly I-Y6635 per Descendent of Walter Hamilton of Darngaber, (potentially one of my FTDNA matches). BOTH I-L338 (also known as I1a2a1a1a) and related I-Y6635 (also known as I1a3a1a1a1, Parent Branch: I-Y6624) are of Haplogroup I-M253 also known as I1 (a Y chromosome haplogroup). I-L338 is a well-known Haplogroup of the Douglases.

Walter Hamilton of Darngaber BIRTH 1392 • Cadzow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, DEATH 20 MAY 1441 • Trabzon, Trabzon, Turkey and his descendants were descended from the Douglases and not the Hamiltons.

(And it is not unreasonable to, at least, consider the uncle of Walter Hamilton (of Darngarber, not "of Cadzow"), John Hamilton of Fingalton as not being a Hamilton either as their Y-DNA has been compared. Assumptions to the contrary are very risky.)

Now merged with Hamilton-23451. That George Hamilton (Hamilton-23451) has proven DNA (Y-DNA = R1b1a1a2a1a2c1a5c1b1a1 SNP Z17557 per his brother John Hamilton per geni.com and information from my ancestry.com tree Michael Dwayne Hamilton Family Tree). Still has a limited family line with a dead end at James Hamilton "5th Laird of Cadzow" (1398 - 1441). George Hamilton has an extended male line that leads far past James Hamilton "5th Laird of Cadzow" to the Beaumonts, Harcourts, Ivar Ragnarsson King of Dublin and York ("Boneless"), Ragnar Sigurdsson Lodbrok, more Kings of Denmark, to the Trojans of Troy and beyond.

I changed the date accuracy of Hamilton-8873 to hopefully make Hamilton-8873 not as similar in age as his father Hamilton-4137.
