Notes |
Monument in the park at Bentley Priory reads:
In the garden which having been the scene of amusement to six other beloved children had just been dedicated to the amusement of John James Hamilton, this stone is now dedicated to his memory. He was a sweet and promising child born on an inauspicious day of the year 1800. In 1808 on the 29th April a day already marked by calamity to his father he died! Happily for himself he had not yet committed fault or felt unkindness or known misfortune but to the bitter anguish and regret of his surviving parents.
--- John James was buried in the Hamilton family vault at Stanmore.
