Abstract
Robert Hamilton was born in Scotland in 1753. Like many of his middle-class Scottish contemporaries, he came to British North America through his associates in the fur trade. In 1780 he formed a partnership with Richard Cartwright at Fort Niagara. They established a successful business provisioning the British Army and Indian Department. Around 1785, Hamilton settled in Queenston, Ontario. Over the next several years, he brought several of his cousins from Scotland to work with him, including Thomas Clark, and Robert, Thomas and William Dickson. Eventually his cousins were established in businesses that were related to Hamilton’s enterprises, an arrangement that was mutually beneficial. In addition to providing supplies for the army and fur trade, Hamilton had a large retail business in Queenston and was heavily involved in land speculation. He also became in involved in politics, beginning with an appointment as one of the original justices of the peace at Niagara in 1786, to his appointment as a member of the Legislative Council in Upper Canada in 1792. He died in 1809 after a lengthy illness. He was survived by numerous children, some of whom became prominent entrepreneurs and office holders, most notably Alexander, George and John.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
