Supposed year of her child's birth

edit

Her only child Harriot is stated to have been born 'by about 1705'. This may need treating with caution and deserves checking of published sources. If that were dogmatically taken as her birth year, then she would have been relatively old to have had the two children in her second marriage to Captain Hamilton, being 51 in 1756 when the future 1st Marquess of Abercorn was born. A check of James Craggs' article shows he was born in 1686, making him 19 in 1705. I have raised a citation need against the alleged birth year. (See wiki articles on Craggs and Captain John Hamilton.)Cloptonson (talk) 09:08, 24 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
