1 Alexander Hamilton, M.A., son of the laird of Houshill (or of Claud Hamil¬
ton of Little Earnock, according to Anderson), graduated at Glasgow in 1649 :
ordained minister of Dalmeny by the Protesters in 1656. Deprived in 1662, but
indulged by the Privy Council in 1669. So many persons went from Edinburgh to
hear him, that he was removed by the Bishop to Dalserf in the Presbytery of
Hamilton in 1677. Called to Edinburgh in 1687 after the toleration, he at first
occupied a meeting house there, and resigning the charge of Dalmeny (to which
he had been restored in April), in August 1690, he was settled in the New or
High Church in December that same year, and died in December 1696, aged about
seventy.—Scott’s Fasti. 2 See Introduction, p. 302.
