Original Thomas Hamilton Deed

Our family has a long history on Blue Hill Neck, starting in 1770 with the arrival of James Carter. However most of us trace our lineage more directly to Thomas Hamilton, who married James Carter’s grandaughter Sukie and with whom he had 11 children and launched our Tribe of Tom.

Below is the original Thomas Hamilton Deed, when he purchased 33 acres from his Father in law, John Carter. The deed references the shore and the town line.
