In 1752, the remaining Indians in Sharon, now only two, conveyed "to their full satisfaction" their last claim of title of lands to Thomas Barnes. The deed was witness by John HAMILTON and John Williams (235).

David Hamilton attended a town meeting on 8 Apr 1753 in which it was proposed to divide the town and form a new religious society in its eastern half. The meeting was adjourned for one hour while John and two others went off to set a line. Perhaps John lived on the eastern half of town. The new church would not be built however for many years due to various disagreements among townspeople. In 1754, Ebenezer FRISBIE (another ancestor) was part of a committee to secure a Minster to replace Rev. Searl whose health was failing. Searl ended his pastoral duties in June 1754 and David HAMILTON was among those chosen at a town meeting to speak to him about abating his salary. Searl left Sharon due to his health.

Lydia WRIGHT was born in 1634.^(10367) Stiles (633) says that she married then died before her father moved to Wethersfield which he says occurred about 1639.
