Notes:
Janet Hamilton (12 October 1795 — 27 October 1873) was a nineteenth-century Scottish poet. She was born as Janet Thomson at Carshill, Shotts parish, Lanarkshire in 1795, the daughter of a shoemaker. During her childhood the family moved to Hamilton, and then to Langloan, in the parish of Old Monkland, Lanarkshire. Her father at length settled down in business for himself as a shoemaker, and John Hamilton, one of his young workmen, married Janet in 1809. Before she was twenty years old she had written numerous verses on religious themes, but family cares prevented further composition until she was about fifty-four.HH
