About Mary Hamilton
Charles Hamilton was an English 18th-century female husband. Named Mary Hamilton at birth, and initially brought up a girl, they took the name Charles and started presenting as male at age 14. In 1746, while living as a man, they married Mary Price. After Price reported she was suspicious of Hamilton's manhood to local authorities, Hamilton was prosecuted for vagrancy, and was sentenced in 1746 to a public whipping in four towns and to six months imprisonment with hard labour.
