Laura married Dr. S. W. Hamilton 1. Dr. S. W. Hamilton was born in Dec 1816 in Paris, Kentucky. He died 2 after 1891.
Dr. S. W. Hamilton was born in Paris, Kentucky in the month of December, 1816, the fifth child in a family of seven children born to William and Rebecca (Ward) Hamilton, the former of whom inherited a large estate from his father, who removed to the state of Kentucky about the time of Daniel Boone, and became a successful planter. He became a resident of Mississippi about 1836, and after becoming a resident of Clinton, filled the positions of mayor, justice of the peace, notary public and postmaster. His wife was a native of Petersburg, Virginia. .
Dr. S. W. Hamilton was an attendant of the common schools up to the age of twelve years, when he entered an educational institution of Marion, Missouri (1828) where he remained for about two years. About this time (1830) his father became a resident of Tennessee, and S. W. left the school which he had been attending in Missouri and entered college at Memphis, Tennessee, and during the two years that he remained there made rapid progress in his studies. He then (1832) came to Mississippi and joined his elder brother, James Hamilton, who was in charge of a Presbyterian church; then spent the two and a half succeeding years with Mr. Comfort at school. He then (1835) entered the mercantile establishment of Spires and Charlescroft, and a year later of Parham and Gibson, in whose employ he remained four years (1839). The two succeeding years he spent in traveling over the south.
In 1841 he went to Richmond, Madison Parish, Louisiana, but about a year and a half later came to Clinton, Mississippi, and was engaged in the collection of claims for merchants until 1842, when he began the study of law with Gen. Henry S. Foote, abandoning it at the end of one and a half years (1844) to take up the study of medicine with Dr. J. B. Morgan of Clinton, in two years' time fitting himself to enter college. He took two courses of lectures at Louisville, KY, receiving his diploma.
In May, 1846, he removed to Louisiana, where he followed the practice of his profession until 1848, after which time, until the opening of the war, he was a successful medical practitioner of Madison parish. In 1861 he became first lieutenant of Company A, Fourth Louisiana battalion, with which he served until 1863, the most of his service being in West Virginia, under General Floyd. On account of ill health he returned home in 1863, but later was assigned to the surgical department. Upon his return to Louisiana he resumed the practice of his profession, and was a leading medical practitioner of that state until 1883. During the yellow fever scourge of 1878 he was at Delta, LA, from which practice he came to Mississippi. For the past two years (1889?) Dr. Hamilton has not practiced his profession, only as his most intimate friends desire.
