In 1749, Hamilton married Harriet Eliot, the daughter of James Craggs and widow of Richard Eliot of Port Eliot (d. 1748). He remained on active service for a few years after the close of the war in 1748, but went on half-pay from 1751 to 1755. He was called back into service as commander of HMS Lancaster, and accidentally drowned while in Portsmouth harbour.
He left three children:
John Hamilton, 1st Marquess of Abercorn (1756–1818)
Lady Anne Hamilton (c. 1751 – 4 November 1764)
