Personal Info
He was the ancestor of the Hamiltons of Innerwick and the earls of Haddington.5
He had a charter from his father of the lands of Ballencreiff, of which a confirmation by John Stewart of Darnley exists. He married (dispensation dated 15 September 1381) Elizabeth, second daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Stewart, second Earl of Angus, who died about 1361. The elder daughter Margaret married Thomas, Earl of Mar, and was left a widow about 1374. Shortly afterwards Elizabeth surrendered to her elder sister all her rights as co-heir of her father, an arrangement which was ratified by King Robert II by a charter dated 18 February 1378-79. In 1389 the same King confirmed a charter by Margaret, Countess of Angus and Mar, granting to her sister Elizabeth and her husband Alexander Hamilton the lands of Innerwick and others, which Elizabeth had on 28 March 1379 resigned in the hands of the Steward of Scotland. Sir Alexander is said to have survived till the reign of James I.6
