Sir Claud Hamilton of Shawfield, PC (Ire) (died 1614), also called of Leckprevick, a younger son of Claud Hamilton, 1st Lord Paisley in Scotland, was a gentleman of the privy chamber of King James VI and I, an undertaker in the Plantation of Ulster, and a privy counsellor in Ireland.
His father was at that time only a younger brother of James Hamilton, 3rd Earl of Arran but would later be created 1st Lord Paisley.
His father's family descended from Walter FitzGilbert, the founder of the House of Hamilton,[4] who had received the barony of Cadzow from Robert the Bruce.
At the age of 18 Claud Hamilton was made a gentleman of the privy chamber to the young King James VI of Scotland.
Claud Hamilton of Shawfield was granted the small proportions of Killeny and Teadane (or Eden).
[28] A small proportion in the Fews precinct in County Armagh was granted to "Claude Hamilton".
The small proportion of Teadane was in County Londonderry on the boundaries of Coleraine and Loughinsholin baronies.
[32] The name Killenny now refers to a townland in the Donaghedy Parish of the Strabane Lower barony.
This townland is 225 acres big and lies south of Donemana on the right bank of Burn Dennett.
[35] These bills detail costume accessories for his family and his brother Frederick, bought in London, including; a "white satin piccadill with two laced bands of the newest fashion for a young woman", a "fine satin picadell for Phredrik of the newest fashion", with "two pair of worset stockings meet for a large young woman's leg", and "thirty yards of flowered taffeta or some other bonny stitched [embroidered] stuff for his daughters".
[42] Robert Maxwell, an Anglican priest and Dean of Armagh, was called to his bedside because he was skilled as a physician.
He is not to be confused with Sir Claud Hamilton, second son of Sir Alexander Hamilton of Innerwick, who was granted the lands of Clonyn, otherwise Taghleagh, in the county of Cavan, by patent dated 23 June 1610, and died vita patris before February 1618.
