I am looking for information on the brothers of Hamilton Ison, b about 1833 m Caroline Harris, Carter Co., KY. He was the son of William and Ester Hettie Hamilton Ison. He married Caroline in 1854. They had one son William Lafayette Ison, born 1856 in Carter Co., KY. They had a daughter born in Arkansas but she must have died young so my grandfather was their only child. I think Hamilton must have been killed in the Civil War in AR. as that is the last I can find him. I would love to know anything about their family.
