Mayflower Descendants
Hamilton Cemetery
The William Melvin Hamilton Sr (b.1886,d.1953) Family
Welcome
Welcome to the Hamilton Memorial Historical Cemetery Web page. On June 20, 2014 the State of Washington Historic Preservation Board voted to approve the Hamilton Cemetery in East Wenatchee, Washington to be listed on the Washington Heritage Registry of Historic Places. The cemetery/land has a trust. The Trustee is Ron Carstensen, 1st Alternate is Gary Burke, 2nd Alternate is Heather Breen, Consultant is Ken Mustell and Website Administrator is Derene Carstensen. The purpose of this website is to memorialize and honor those that are buried there and for our present and future generations to have a footprint to refer for ancestors that came and were born in the Wenatchee area many generations ago. As we move from generation to generation we discover other branches of Hamilton's so we are expanding to include these family members, cemeteries, pictures, articles as they are discovered. The discovery that the Hamilton's are descendents of 2 passengers that came to American on the Mayflower in 1620 is a great find. They are George Soule and Peter Browne.
