He emigrated, arriving in Adelaide on 17 October 1837, and set about establishing a farm. By 1840 "Ewell Farm", named after Ewell, Surrey, incorporated a vineyard covering , planted with vine cuttings he had purchased in South Africa ''en route'' to Australia. His son, Henry Hamilton (6 January 1826 – 10 February 1907), remained in England, where he was a student at a Christ's Hospital bluecoat school, then emigrated on the ''Christina'' in 1841 and for two years worked on a sheep station near Burra. He purchased a property in Oaklands adjoining his father's property, built a house and settled there. He inherited his father's Glenelg property, but it was disposed of within his lifetime. He suffered from ill-health in his later years, and handed over management of Ewell Vineyards, to his son F E "Frank" Hamilton (5 February 1859 – 13 June 1913) in 1890. Frank served on Marion Council for many years. Ewell Vineyards at this time covered , as well as groves of almonds and other fruit. His eldest son (Frank) Eric Hamilton (4 July 1896 – May 1967) took over management of the company, with Sydney (18 July 1898 – 22 July 1987), another son, as winemaker. They rebuilt the winery and installed a distillery. They restructured the company as Hamilton's Ewell Vineyards Pty. Ltd. in 1934. Eric's son Robert (27 May 1926 – 8 January 1976) became chairman of directors in 1967. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hamilton's Ewell Vineyards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
