My personal research indicates that James Hamilton of Scottish ancestry was involved in an affair with Rachel Faucett of Huguenot ancestry on the Island of Nevis and this relationship resulted in the birth of Alexander Hamilton on January 11,1757 on Nevis Island.
Further more, James Hamilton abandoned this relationship in 1765 and came to the British Colonies, fought for their independence, was killed in battle sometime in 1777. Have not established who the father of James Hamilton was, but research indicates he was not a member of the Scottish Royalty but a Hamilton who lived in the western Islands of Scotland or in Ireland.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
