John James Hamilton was the son of Sir Alexander Hamilton (* around 1613; † 1665/69) from Holborn near London from the Scottish family of the Earls of Hamilton-Abercorn and (∞ around 1634) Lady Elizabeth Bedingfield of Oxburgh (* around 1610; † 1683) from Redlingfield ( Suffolk ). Both families had mostly supported the Catholic House of Stuart against the Protestant House of Tudor . His father was the great-grandson of James Hamilton, Duke of Châtellerault († 1575), George Seton, 7th Lord Seton (1531–1586) and Robert Boyd, 5th Lord Boyd († 1590), his mother was a great-granddaughter of Sir Henry Bedingfeld (1509 –1583), who as Constable of the Towers of London guarded Elizabeth I during her captivity, and a great-granddaughter of the anti-Elizabethan conspirator Anthony Fortescue († after 1608), Marshal of Ireland.

The family fled from Great Britain to the mainland after the execution of the Stuart King Charles I of England in 1649 . Jakob von Hamilton's mother, who was friends with the founder of the order Maria Ward (1585–1645), lived after the death of his father as a widow with the poor Poor Clares in Gravelines . In 1673 she entered the Augustinian Order in Bruges as a canoness under the name Anna Bonaventura and made her profession in 1674 . James Hamilton's grandfather was James Hamilton, 1st Earl of Abercorn (1575-1618). The descent was certified in 1683 by Stuart King Charles II of England (1630-1685) and in 1725 at the request of Julius von Hamilton after a request from the Imperial Herald Sir William O'Kelly d'Aghrim († 1751) again by the Herald's Office of Scotland confirmed.

Already at this time he was referred to as "Graf". In 1679, 1685 and 1691 he was appointed one of the two landscape commissioners of Pfalz-Neuburg for six years. From 1681 to 1694 he was the successor of Baron Christian Friedrich von Spee as the Elector of the Palatinate Colonel Chamberlain.

It was a fiefdom of the monastery in Werden . Gut Kokeldorp and the Hervesthove zu Selm as well as the Schurhove zu Südkirchen were borne by Hamilton from Herford Abbey as a fief. In 1694, Prince-Bishop Friedrich Christian von Plettenberg von Münster bought the property.

In 1691 Jakob von Hamilton acquired the so-called “Adolfine half” from Elector Johann Wilhelm von der Pfalz as Count von Ravensberg for 14,000 Reichstaler in the Free County of Merfeld in the western Münsterland. He was enfeoffed with her as a kunkelle feud, which possibly included a female line of succession. A legal dispute developed between Magdalena Sibylla von Merveld, married von der Recke zu Horst, the sister of the late Friedrich Wilhelm von Merveld († 1691), and Hamilton. Around 1704/05, Count Jakob von Hamilton ceded the Adolfine half of Merfeld to her or to Werner Lambert von Merode († 1729) zu Merfeld in exchange for the 14,000 Reichstaler.

In 1692/93, Hamilton acquired the Upper Austrian feudal lordship of Schramberg as a kunkellehen for himself and his heirs for 100,000 guilders , but ceded it to baron Johann Friedrich von Bissingen (around 1601; † 1663) in 1696 for 130,000 guilders after he had dealt with the city Rottweil could not agree on the exercise of the hunting rights.

His successor as Elector Palatine Chamberlain was Count Arnold Moritz Wilhelm von Bentheim-Steinfurt (1663–1701).

In 1693, Jakob von Hamilton received the Uttenweiler manor from Emperor Leopold I as a fiefdom of Upper Austria. He called himself now "Herr zu Schramberg, Uttenweiler and Merfeldt". In 1694 Hamilton sold the Uttenweiler manor to Baron Johann Ludwig Constantin von Ulm zu Erbach ; the law faculty of the University of Tübingen wrote an opinion on the valuation of the property after his complaint about alleged defraudation.

In April 1693, Count Hamilton informed the English diplomat Sir George Stepney (1663-1707) in Vienna about a conversation he had had with Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden-Baden (1655-1707) in Nuremberg , and an audience with Emperor Leopold I. He said that the front circles of the Reich were alarmed about a possible return of the "Turks Louis".

Sisters of Jacob von Hamilton were the nuns

  • Catherine Hamilton (* 1628; † November 19, 1685), already referred to in older literature as Jacob's sister, but probably more of a cousin or aunt because of the date of birth, brought up with the Poor Clares in Paris, since 1654 with the English Fräulein in Munich, 1667 Until about 1678/82 Superior in Augsburg, resigned due to mental illness, died in Munich,
