• Notes

  Andrew's life was a turbulent one. He accumulated considerable wealth in property working with his father George in Linlithgow and well as from his role as a partner in the Merchant Banking Co. of Stirling. He got into financial difficulties in 1804 and all his assets were sequestered. He was given sanctuary from his creditors in the Abbey of Holyrood pending settlement. This process lasted several years. He married his second wife Bethea in 1811. As a couple, they were seemingly quite destitute and Bethea started to acquire goods and services illicitly by "falsehood, fraud and wilful imposition". She was tried and found guilty in 1814 and sentenced to 7 years deportation. A year later, she was granted remission. It is possible she outlived her husband for many years. A Bethea Hamilton is recorded as deceased in 1840 in Airdrie.
