Notes


Physician and Methodist preacher at Dunbar. Also practiced at Dysart. On 18 January 1785 Hamilton married Ann Annett (bap. 1763, d. 1788), from a Methodist farming family in Alnwick, and moved to Halhill Farm near Dunbar where, perhaps at Cullenâ€™s instigation, he was the first to grow and disseminate the Swedish turnip. In December 1788 he writes to Cullen concerning his second wife who is rapidly failing with a lung complaint.
