  Notes	Three and perhaps four (perhaps Daniel Donovan) of her great-grandparents would be considered Revolutionary War ancestors. Minina or Minna was her nickname. There was a "defining book" of hers, a vocabulary book, that has been preserved. She wrote her name in the front cover. Note that this Minerva has a great aunt named Minerva. And for confusion's sake, there is another Minerva Hamilton, who was born on May 13, 1826, and married Peter Weaver in 1853, and who was also from Bracken Co. Whether they were related I don't know. Her parents and her sister, who married John Gregg Fee, were an abolitionists, but it may be that she was not, as her husband owned slaves and her husband's family the Mannens farmed tobacco in Kentucky before the War, a profession which required a great deal of manual labor. Neither she nor the Mannens are mentioned in her brother-in-law John G. Fee's Autobiography (S400).
