David Hamilton was taken prisoner either at the battle of Dunbar on 3 sep 1650 or at the battle of Worcester 3 sep 1651, and with others transported to America aboard the John & Sara. 8 nov 1651/52 they sailed from Gravesend, near London, England with the ship master, John Greene. They were bound for charles Towne and then from that point the ship would sail on to Barbadoes. The ship contained ironworkers, planters, house hold stuffe, and other provisions for planters and Scotch prisoners.

Also aboard the ship was Richard Jaxson, the father of David's first true love, Annah Jaxson, left behind in Scotland. Later, Richard Jaxson would send for his wife, son and daughter, and Annah would marry David Hamilton. Both the names of David Hamilton and Richard Jaxson are found on the ship's passenger list.

After David's landing in Charlestown, not much is known for some years until he appeared in Dover, New Hampshire, arriving there after completing his period of servitude in Massachusetts. Years of servitude were commonly 6, 7 or 8 years.

Prior to his marriage to Annah, David acquired rights in a parcel of land, containing twenty acres, in the town of Dover(Rollingsford), New Hampshire on the Newichawannock River between Quamphegan Falls and St. Albans Cove, on which he erected a house. There he and his bride raised their family, and David lived there until his death. He later acquired a legal title to this property by a deed from Benjamin Grant on 7 oct 1669, who acquired the deed from the town of Dover.
