  • Class of 2012 Graduate is Direct Descendant of Hamilton's First Graduate

    Josie Jones '12 is Great-Great-Great-Great-Granddaughter of George Albion Calhoun, Class of 1814

    May 21, 2012

    Among members of the Class of 2012 who graduated on Sunday, May 20, was Josephine (Josie) Jones, who learned in January that she is a direct descendant of  George Albion Calhoun, the College's first graduate in 1814.  Jones' mother, Jody Clark Jones, made the discovery while researching her husband's family genealogy. The story of the two century connection, which is especially meaningful in Hamilton's bicentennial year, is featured in the Spring 2012 Hamilton Alumni Review. Josie Jones was also interviewed for a story on local Fox affiliate WUTR.
