DESCRIPTION

DescriptionEbenezer Hamilton engaged architect and builder Mr. Bidgood, to build 'Seaview' for his family in 1903.

Ebenezer Cresswell Hamilton married Rosannah Agnes Fleming and raised a family of 12 (11 surviving). In 1919, Ebenezer and Rosannah with the youngest of their children moved to Parramatta Road, Haberfield to retire.

Ebenezer Hamilton was the grandson of pioneer Ebenezer Russell who lived on an adjacent farm. He was an Alderman on Shellharbour Municipal Council, 1908-1911.

Violet Hamilton, the daughter of Ebenezer and Rosannah was 16 at the time and remained on the farm with her brothers, Harry and Cressie, and her sister Florence.

'Seaview' has strong connections with the Hamilton family and the large rural community of Croom. Many significant pioneering families, including the Russell’s, farmed the Croom area, and many of their children attended the nearby Croom School over Locking Hill.
