Stirling-Hamilton baronets

The Hamilton baronetcy of Preston, Haddingtonshire was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 5 November 1673, for William Hamilton, eldest son of Sir Thomas Hamilton, of Preston and Fingalton, by his second wife, Anne Hamilton, of Preston. He married in 1670 Rachel Nicolson of Cockburnpath, but left no male issue, sold his estates, and died c.1690, having left Scotland for the Netherlands. The title passed to his brother Robert, 2nd Baronet. On his death, the title was regarded as dormant, until legal cases in the 19th century saw it revived, and imputed to successors. The name was changed to Stirling-Hamilton in 1889.[1]
