Montgavelin Castle, Donegal, Ireland

anyone has website INDEPENDENT of genealogy concerning this place?

There was a discussion in 1998 of his son Rev. James H. Hamilton and
wife Catherine Leslie and their daughter Judith who married Rev.
Alexander Calhoun (Colquhoun)

But that is not what I wanted. I am looking for any discussion
concerning Rev. Andrew Hamilton's parentage (Rev. James' father).

Two sources said Rev. Andrew's wife was Rebecca Galbraith, dau of Lt.
Col. James Galbraith and wife unknown. Col. James was either son or
brother of Robert Galbraith depending on sources saying one way or other.

Still what I want to know is who were parents of Rev. Andrew Hamilton.

At least it wasn't Frederick Hamilton and Sidney Vaughn as I pointed it
out to Leo as not possible at all, due to a generation gap.
