Paul Hamilton (October 16, 1762 - June 30, 1819): 3rd Secretary of the Navy (1809 - 1812) Paul Hamilton, born in Wiltown, St. Paul’s Parish, S.C., on 16 October 1762, to Archibald and Rebecca (Branford) Hamilton. As a young man of 16 he joined the Wiltown Hunters, a militia company, and fought under Generals Horatio L. Gates and Francis Marion and Col. William Harden against the British at Savannah, Ga., Camden and Charleston, S.C., in the American Revolution, from 1778 to 1781. He participated in Harden’s capture of the British post at Fort Balfour, S.C., on 11 April 1781. Hamilton married Mary Wilkinson on 10 October 1792. Their union proved a fruitful one and they had seven children: Mary, Rebecca, Eliza, Paul, Margaret, Archibald, and Susan. Hamilton served South Carolina in many public offices including: Collector of General Taxes, St. Paul’s Parish, 1785-1787; as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, 1787-1789; the state convention that adopted the U.S. Constitution, 1787; the state convention that adopted South Carolina’s Constitution, 1790; as a state senator, 1794 and 1798-1799; Comptroller of Finance, 1800-1804; and Governor, 1804-1806. President James Monroe appointed him Secretary of the Navy, serving from 15 May 1809 to 31 December 1812. Hamilton advocated military preparedness, especially sea fortifications. Although he wanted to strengthen the Navy and the fledgling republic’s seaward fortifications, he found the Congress hostile and the President indifferent to his ideas, though he proved largely responsible for the passage of the Naval Hospitals Act of 1811. His son Archibald, a Navy Lieutenant, was killed when British frigates Endymion, Majestic, Pomone, and Tenedos captured U.S. frigate President, Capt. Stephen Decatur in command, off Long Island, N.Y., on 15 January 1815. Paul Hamilton died at Beaufort, S.C., on 30 June 1816. He was buried at the Whale Branch Plantation (Clarendon Plantation), Beaufort County, S.C.
