For years I have been on the search for this connection.\u00a0 I have gotten close, so now I am asking you for help with this one.\u00a0 The search all started 30 years ago when my daughter Rebecca and my son Jon were very young.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0I had recently married Marlin Staveness while I was over in England.\u00a0 My father was stationed at a Military base in England and I went to High School at Lakenheath England which is where Marlin was stationed with the Military.
\nOn one of my first visits to Marlin\u2019s parent\u2019s house, his mother (Mary Jane Froggner Staveness) and I started talking about our genealogies.\u00a0 She mentioned her ancestors were HAMILTON.\u00a0 Knowing my mother had done genealogy I knew my ancestors were also named HAMILTON. \u00a0She mentioned that her Hamilton\u2019s had something they called the \u201cHamilton Finger\u201d a crooked pinky finger.\u00a0 Looking down at my hands we both noticed that I, Kathleen, had a crooked pinky finger.
\nSo the search was on and this is what I found so far:
\nBoth sides of the family both indeed have Hamilton\u2019s and both sides of the Hamilton families lived in Skagit Washington at the same time. On the Same1910 Skagit County Census lists Frank and James in Sedro Woolley Precinct 2, Skagit, Washington and Motz and Daisy in Hamilton, Skagit Washington The places are 12.9 Miles apart.
\nIn 1883 Frank R owned a historical Farm which is now called Ovenell\u2019s Heritage Inn at 46276 Concrete Sauk Valley Road, Concrete, Washington, which is only 30 miles from where William Alexander Hamilton lived in Skagit River, Washington.
\nBoth sides of the Family lived in the Skagit County Washington Area between the years 1883 and 1939.
\nI have yet to find the actual connecting persons but I think I am getting close.
\nHere is the time line in picture form to help see the connections (the picture has a lot of notes to help see the connections:<\/p>\n
