Richard Hamilton---Fintra House and Corrin Lodge,Killibegs-- married Anne Johnson. Richard died 1817 and is buried in Old St Catherines graveyard at Killibegs. One of their children was Jane Hamilton who is my great,great,grandmother. Are any living Hamiltons still in Donegal who are descendants of above that would like to contact me as I intend to visit Killibegs in 2014. I live in New Zealand
I think there is a Facebook page for Kilylbegs, check it out.
