Walter Hamilton the father of David Hamilton of Cambuskeith in Ayrshire, Scotland. HG. Harvey Johnston tells us that Walter Hamilton is: "said to be the third son of Sir David Fitz Walter" Heraldry of the Hamiltons Who it was who first said that Water Hamilton was the third son of Sir David Fitz Walter is not clear but Johnston may have been referring to John Anderson, who, writing some eight four years or so earlier, makes the same suggestion, but identifies Walter as the second son rather than the third Memoirs of the House of Hamilton The modern Peerage Account of the Ducal House follows Anderson and Johnston but prefers not to deal in suggestions. Few would dare to argue Darryl Lundy's Peerage
