Early life

He was the first son of James Hamilton of Sheephill and Holmpatrick, Deputy Prothonotary of the Court of King's Bench, and his first wife Hannah Phillips and the grandson of James Hamilton, Member of Parliament for Newry from 1723 and Carlow from 1727.[1]

Career

Hamilton sat for County Dublin in the Irish House of Commons from 1798 until the Act of Union in 1801 and was then appointed High Sheriff of County Dublin for 1803–04. He was subsequently elected to the British House of Commons for County Dublin, a seat he held until his death in December 1822.[2]

Personal life

He married Anne Mitchell, a daughter of Hugh Henry Mitchell and sister to Col. Hugh Henry Mitchell, who married Lady Harriett Somerset (a daughter of the 5th Duke of Beaufort).[3][4] Together, they were the parents of five children, including:[2]

  • James Hans Hamilton (1810–1863), also an MP for County Dublin; he married Caroline Trant, daughter of John Frederick Trant.[2]

He died just before Christmas 1822, "of a most painful and tedious illness".[2]

Descendants

Through his son James, he was a grandfather of Ion Trant Hamilton (1839–1898), who also represented County Dublin in Parliament. The latter was raised to the peerage as Baron HolmPatrick in 1897. It was said that a peerage had been his grandfather's dearest wish, but his efforts to obtain one were unsuccessful; he also lobbied hard for the advancement of his relatives.[2]
