Rachel Hamilton, born c.1785, died c.1840, wife of John Dillon, was confirmed "Hamilton" through her youngest son, John. Rachel's maiden name is listed as "Hamilton" in John's Civil War pension file.
She is thought to have been the daughter of Hugh and Elizabeth Hamilton. An Elizabeth Hamilton is confirmed buried in the Hamilton Cemetery (the oldest marker identified in the Hamilton Cemetery). However, a Hugh Hamilton was actively engaged in agriculture on land adjacent to Vincent Dillon on separate plots in Monroe Co. Rachel is thought to have appropriately named one son, "Hugh" after her father.
Rachel is listed on a January 1840 Monroe Co. deed as "John and Rachel Dillon" when John Dillon sold this property, slightly more than a mile distance from the Hamilton Cemetery. This is the last official record of Rachel available to researchers.
Family researcher John William Sherman Dillon has written that Rachel Hamilton Dillon died about 1840 based on interviews with her descendants. Interviews were conducted during the early years of the last century.
In addition to her parents, two of Rachel's children, Mary and Hamilton were also buried in Hamilton Cemetery, as were a daughter-in-law, Jane (Moore) wife of Rachel's son, Peter, and two of Peter and Jane's children, Sarah and Peter Jr.
And finally, she apparently did not resettle to Lawrence Co., Ohio with her husband, John, and family in the middle 1840s, as she is never again referenced in the oral Dillon history.
