Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, Ontario, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, pg. 44-45:
David Hamil. The Hamil family of Ontario is of English extraction, and has an ancestry traceable very far back, even to the days when seven brothers of the name accompanied Oliver Cromwell to Ireland. The first of the family of whom we have any definite data is Joseph Hamil, who passed his whole life in Ireland. He had a family of two sons and two daughters. His son Daniel was married to Martha Stuart, and had a family of seven daughters and one son, Joseph, who married Jane Crosier, daughter of Robert Crosier. She had three brothers: William, who for twenty-one years was captain of the 58th Regiment in the English army; Robert, a lieutenant in the same army; and Thomas, a land master; all participated in the battle of Waterloo. The children born to Joseph Hamil and his wife were as follows: Mary Ann, Jane, Elizabeth, Joanna, and Joseph, John, Robert, William and David. They lived in the Emerald Isle until 1831, in which year the two families (of Daniel and Joseph) came to Canada, Daniel settling in Cartwright.
     Joseph Hamil settled in the County of Brockville, in Kitley township, where he purchased a farm which he conducted six years. In 1837 he settled in Harwich township, County of Kent, on Lot 15, Concession 10, where he bought farms for himself and his sons... David married Catherine Conn, and they had ten children, two boys and eight girls. Joseph Hamil, Sr., died in 1858, at the age of seventy-five; his wife survived him ten years, dying at the age of eighty.
     David Hamil was born July 25, 1829, in County Monaghan, Ireland. At the age of eighteen he began life for himself as a farmer, on land given him by his father, and later he purchased the farm of his brother William, where he was engaged in general agriculture, until 1892. In that year he sold 100 acres and gave his sons each 100 acres. Then he moved to Blenheim, where he lived ten years, after which he bought a farm on the Communication road, near Rondeau, where he still resides. The old family home is on the town line between Harwich and Howard, near the 10th Concession, Lot 15.
     As previously mentioned, Mr. Hamil married Catherine Conn, and they had ten children, two sons and eight daughters. The eldest daughter, (1) Jane, married George Hall, by whom she had three children, David F., Nellie and Bertram. For her second husband she married Alexander Goff, and they have one daughter, Leata Fern. (2) Elizabeth married William Brien, and they have six children, Kate, Minnie, Myrtle, Delila, Vernon and John. Of these, Kate married Arthur Sutton, and has two daughters, Pearl and Gladys. Minnie married Coral Brookins, and they have one son, named Glen. (3) Joseph married Alice Louisa Scane, and they have two children, Josephine and Wilbury. (4) Cathrine married Gilbert Philips, and they have two children, Addie and Zelma. (5) Alice married Samuel Johnson, and they have had four children, Gertrude (deceased), Winnie, Leora and Frederick. (6) Meredith married Bertha Coyne; they have four children, Mildred, Edith, Genevieve, Frederick. (7) Christina (deceased) married Charles Chapin. (8) Eliza Ann died in infancy. (9) Joanna married James Smith; they have five children, James Lloyd, Florence, Lorne Hamil, and Harold C. and Abigal Edith. (10) Elsie Irene married Angus Lawton, and they have one child, Marjorie.
     Mr. Hamil is a Conservative in politics. In religious belief he is a Methodist. He was a school trustee for eighteen years, and a councillor for three years. Most all the members of his family live in the townships of Harwich and Howard, and they are well known in this section.
