Robert,
I'm interested in your Irwin/Hamilton couple. James Hamilton was born in Ballybay 16 Mar 1774, s.o. Alexander Hamilton & Martha Neilson. He married Margaret Irwin about 1807 and had a daughter, Martha, in 1808. I believe James is a brother to my 3g-grandfather, Alexander Hamilton. And I can't help but think there must be a link to your John Irwin/Miss Hamilton marriage.
James and Alexander also had siblings:
John, b. 21 Sep 1768
Isaiah b. 05 Oct 1776
Joseph b. 25 Jun 1784
Martha b. 19 Dec 1791
Your Miss Hamilton could possibly be this Martha or a daughter of one of the brothers.
My Alexander Hamilton, his wife, Jane Brown, and their 10 children emigrated to Toronto Twp. (now Mississauga), Ontario in 1830. Small world.
