| He is named in a charter of entail of 1455 to James, Lord Hamilton, his lawful heirs, his natural son James, and his brothers and their issue in succession. He had a sasine of the lands of Schawfield from the Crown in the same year, and was probably the father of James Hamilton of Schawfield, who, as stated below, had a charter of Whitecamp in 1474. He is said to be the ancestor of the Hamiltons of Silvertonhill.4 | ||
