William R. Hamilton was born in Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1795 and
studied painting in Paris and in London where he was a student of Sir
David Wilkie. He was in the employment of the Duke of Hamilton in
Scotland until he immigrated to New York in 1832.
A fellow
Scotsman, Alexander Masterton, may have been responsible for bringing
him to this country. Masterton was a very successful contractor
and quarry owner. Hamilton lived with the Masterton family in the
1830's and 40 (showing 500 of 1297 characters). |
