I got his (approximate) birthdate and the date of his death from [1]. I confirmed it with [2] and [3]. -[[User:Frazzydee|Frazzydee|✍]] 22:45, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] SS Andrew Hamilton
I can't find that online except the list of liberty ships on Wikipedia. I'm sure it's right but other than Wikipedia, how did you find this out? It would be very interesting to know more about it. Thanks, CoolGuy 22:50, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
- These links, from www.coltoncompany.com and Peter Thompson (of Florida International University), both list liberty ship build data for all liberty ships. (The first link for almost all U.S. built steel ships — merchant or warships — ever). This link, www.armed-guard.com, lists who the various liberty ships were named for (it is alphabetized by last name). — Bellhalla 13:45, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Philadelphia lawyer"
I recall reading that the eloquent lawyer in the Zenger case (Hamilton) gave rise to the term "Philadelphia lawyer". (Hamilton traveled from Phila. to NY to defend Zenger.) A solid reference of that would be a good addition to this article.--BillFlis 22:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
