Andrew HAMPTON was born about 1658 in Edinburgh, East Lothian County, Scotland. He died about 1738 in Elizabeth, Essex County, NJ. Andrew married Margaret CUMMIN on 7 Apr 1683 in Edinburgh, East Lothian County, Scotland.

From Ruth Harrison Jones:

Brothers Andrew and John Hampton, natives of Edinburgh, East Lothian Co., Scotland came to America in the year 1683. They sailed aboard the ship EXCHANGE landing on Staten Island December 19th of that year. John was a party to a venture sponsored by absentee Scottish proprietors to establish a "New Scotland" in America. John Hampton and John Reid had been selected in Scotland as joint overseers of the venture in America. John Hampton in consideration for his services as overseer received 10 pounds English currency prior to his departure from Scotland, his passage and 10 acres in Perth Amboy on arrival valued then at 5 pounds. He was to receive 25 pounds on a yearly basis for his services. The project was not successful, but during those uncertain years John Hampton continued to trade in land and was able to "stay on the right team."

During this time John was a resident of Freehold, Monmouth County. He had numerous children by his several wives; his marriages were financially beneficial and he accumulated considerable land during his lifetime. However, after a short 20 years in New Jersey, he died in January 1702 at approximately 52 years of age. (See additional information about John at bottom of this page)

Andrew Hampton, John's brother had married Margaret Cumine (Cummin, Cummings) on April 7, 1683, just prior to sailing for America. They took up residence in Essex County, NJ where he followed his profession as a tailor. He was interested and involved in government and civic activities in the community of Elizabeth Town for many years.

On the death of his brother in 1702, Andrew took his family to Freehold for an extended period of time that he might secure his brother's financial holdings for the children of his brother. John's will names his children and his brother, Andrew who "...got his headland for himself and wife, in 1688, 'adjoining to the Scotch Proprietor's servants head land," at Blew Hills." In "Historic Houses of Early America" by Lathrop she mentions a house on Pearl Street in Elizabeth, New Jersey, built in 1696/7 by Andrew Hampton and his wife Margaret Cummins.

Andrew did return to Elizabeth from Freehold; where his will was proved in 1738, Essex Co., NJ. He would have been approximately 80 years of age. His will mentions wife Margaret and the utensils and other things, "which my said wife brought to me at marriage." Children named in the will were John, Andrew, Margaret Hampton, Johannah, Lambert, Elizabeth Oliver, grandson Jonathan Hampton, son of James deceased, grandson Isaac Terrill, son of Mary deceased; and the eldest son Thomas, who received only 20 shillings
