I do not know the ancestry of Hamilton SELBY, b. ca. 1818, but I think it's likely that he belonged to one of the early Maryland families rather than being born in England. On 27 April 1748, Anne Arundel Co., MD, William HAMILTON & Mordecai SILBY {sic} witnessed a deed from Charles HARRISON to John HAMILTON. Margaret MYERS' Marriage Licenses of Fredk. Co., MD (to 1840): SELVEY, Hamilton, 30 Je. 1840, Rebecca YINGLING. Census of 1850, Buckeystown, Frederick Co., MD: SELVEY, Hamilton, 30; Rebecca, 40; William T. H., 5; & Sarah A. R., 1. Fredk. Co., 1870, SELVEY, Hamilton, 52; Jane, 59; Wm., 25; Sarah A. R., 20. RootsWeb Family Trees: Rebecca died in August 1852. Burial place is listed under two names, Ira Sears Cem. & Yingling Cem., Frederick, Frederick Co., MD. William SELBY (son of Mordecai, Jr., & Lydia) m. by Fredk. Co., license of 5 Feb. 1816, Eve GRIM[M], but their children didn't include Hamilton. Obediah SELBY, m. Fredk. Co., MD, 23 May 1817, Eliz. FERREE. I do not know names of their children. Lloyd SELBY (30 Je. 1776 - 24 July 1845, s/o Lucretia EVANS & Nicholas) m. 2 Apr. 1797, Eliz. EVANS (19 Feb. 1778 - 10 Nov. 1854). At least two of their children, Caleb & Eliz., were issued marriage licenses in Fredk. Co., MD. Thomas SELBY (from Berkeley Co., [W] VA, to Ashland Co., OH) & Catherine HAY had a different Hamilton SELBY (5 Oct. 1808 - Oct. 1878). Can you think of other clues?
