Captain John Hamilton enlisted into Count der Weide's infantry regiment in 1649. He obtained a travel pass for Germany in April 1652 and then appears to have transferred to Johan von Essen's regiment in 1653.Swedish Krigsarkiv, Muster Roll, 1649/19; 1650/8,9; Swedish Krigsarkiv, katalog over rullor, vol.4, p.1349; See Letters in 'Krigskollegium Kancelliet. Adressatregistratur till Krigskollegiets Registratur 1631-1654' entitled "respass till Tyskland 27/4/1652". It is possibly referring to this man. In the same collection can be found "fullmakt att vara kapt under Col Johan von Essens reg 6/12/1653".
