Shelby County Established February 7, 1818

Researched by Bobby Joe Seales

JAMES HAMILTON
1818-1820

[First in office.] "On the fourth Monday in October in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, the worshipful the County Court of
Shelby County Alabama Territory was opened according to adjournment by James
Hamilton, High Sheriff of the county aforesaid...." Col. James Hamilton,
born 1783 in North Carolina, a part of that state that is presently Jefferson
County Tennessee, son of Francis & Mary Hamilton. About 1806 in Knox County
Tennessee James Hamilton married Jane Bayles, daughter of Hezekiah Bayles
and Jane Evans. In about 1807 James, along with his in laws, moved from
Knox County Tennessee to what is now Madison County Alabama. There James
was elected Captain of his Militia Company and in 1813 the company was
attached to Col. Peter Perkins Battalion, 7th Regiment, under General
Jackson. It was this company that was at the point of attack by the
Creek Indians at the battle of Emuckfau. In 1815, or shortly thereafter,
James moved to an area that became Shelby County Alabama, and after the
death of his wife in 1820 moved to Jefferson County Alabama. He died in
or near Leeds, Jefferson County, Alabama at the home of his son-in-law
Hugh Coupland who had married Karenhappuck Hamilton. He is probably buried
in Shiloh Cemetery in an unmarked grave. Jane Bayles was born August 23,
1785 in North Carolina, now Washington County Tennessee, died September 23,
1820 in Shelby County Alabama. Their son, Governor Andrew Jackson Hamilton,
1815-1875, had a significant impact on Texas and the nation before, during
and after the Civil War. Texas Senator Morgan Calvin Hamilton, 1809-1893,
was a brother to Andrew Jackson Hamilton.
