I am a direct decendant of Alexander Hamilton. My great grandmother was Janie Hamilton who married Tom Thornburgh in the mountains of Tennessee. Janie and Tom had three sons. Samuel, Tom and Yancy. Samuel is my grandfather, who married Maude Wilson and they had two children Horace and Elsie. My mother is Elsie who married James Gleason.
