This family tree is partly derived from the Abercorn pedigree pictured in Cokayne.[2] Also see the lists of siblings and children in the text.

Gustavus was born about 1685 in Ireland. He was the second son of Gustavus Hamilton, 1st Viscount Boyne and his wife Elizabeth Brooke, daughter of Sir Henry Brooke.[3] His younger brother was Henry Hamilton.[4] In 1716, he entered the Irish House of Commons for Donegal County, the same constituency his father and his older brother Frederick had represented before.[1] Hamilton sat as Member of Parliament until his death in 1735.[1]

Marriage

In January 1717, he married Hon. Dorothea Bellew, only daughter of Richard Bellew, 3rd Baron Bellew of Duleek.[5] They had five daughters and two sons.[6] Both sons Frederick and Richard succeeded successively as Viscount Boyne.[5]
