Scotland / Re: Scottish ancestors at Battle of Worcester 1651?

Sean, in one of life's ironies, I live in Worcester County, in the state of Massachusetts, worked in the City of Worcester here for about 12 years, and was a member of the Worcester Rotary Club when we hosted the Rotary Club from Worcester, UK back in the 1990s.  I used to live about 25 miles from the Historic Marker for David... but didn't know of its existence at the time.  I do need to make the drive up to see it this summer.

Skoosh, it's been very difficult learning of David's history prior to his arrival in America.  There's a highly detailed genealogy "The Hamiltons of Waterboro" that is 100% accurate from 1651 forward.  DNA testing has located a number of descendants in the states, but the Scottish ancestry in the book is not supported by the testing and online research has not turned up any reliable info.

I don't know if this thread is still active.  David Hamilton, my 8th grandfather, was captured at Worcester and sent on the John & Sarah to Boston, settling eventually in Rollingsford New Hampshire.
