According to the Bible, Elkanah's most famous son is Samuel, whom he fathered with his wife Hannah. While Elkanah had other children with his second wife, Peninnah, the Bible does not list their specific names, focusing instead on Samuel’s ministry. Later, Hannah had three more sons and two daughters. 

Key details regarding Elkanah's children:

• Samuel: The first son of Hannah, dedicated to the Lord.
• Peninnah's Children: Though she bore multiple children, they are not named in the biblical text.
• Later Children: Hannah subsequently gave birth to three more sons and two daughters (1 Samuel 2:21).

German Hamilton Line - Jacob Hamilton

Jacob was the first German Hamilton in America known that is a part of my genealogy.  He probably changed his name from Wence or Vance according to my Y Chromosomal DNA.

Jacob Hamilton seemed to appear out of nowhere. He first appears on the Perry County census in 1830, as age 20-30 with a wife age 20-30. He is listed as purchasing property April 1, 1834. He was a saddler by trade.

Jacob and Catherine are buried in the Liverpool, Pa. cemetery  in front of Christian and Annamarie Weirick stones. The will is written in German script and offers little biographical data.

Jacob Hamilton Is David Hamilton, the Son of Sgt. John O. Hamilton

**According to record, Jacob Hamilton did not have parents.  However, he did.  He was in fact born David Hamilton to Sgt. John O. Hamilton and Elizabeth Forster (Foster), and later changed his name to Jacob Hamilton.  The 4 reasons I say this are (first 1-3, than later 4):

Reason #1.  David/Jacob had three children with the same names.

Reason #2.  David/Jacob both lived in Perry Co. Pennsylvania.

Reason #3.  Where David disappears from record, Jacob enters record, old enough that he should have already paid taxes by his age, but with no record of having been born at all.  This was also a time when many Americans where complaining to the British who then owned America that the British where giving taxation without representation.

Catherine Weirick (1812 - 1858)

Born in Liverpool, Perry, Pennsylvania, USA on 15 Aug 1812 to Christian Weirick and Anna Maria Hauer. Catherine married Jacob Hamilton and had 13 children. She passed away on 8 Aug 1858 in Liverpool, Perry, Pennsylvania, USA.

________________________________________________________________________________
Reason #4.   Note: In the above, the record shows that the date of David's birth is uncertain, as well as the name of his wife, and in addition the date of his death is uncertain.

________________________________________________________________________________

Note:  Elizabeth, Levi, and John where children with names in common with the parents named Jacob Hamilton and David Hamilton.  That is one connection of these individuals, albeit not a strong one because these are very common names.  However, it should not be overlooked if one wants to consider all the possibilities, meaning this alone isn't strong evidence, but when combined with other evidence such as Jacob's age when he first started paying taxes
