Hello Jan,
the above mentioned villages are Freschluneberg, Altwistedt, Kirchwistedt, Wollingst, Wellen, Afrel? (maybe Appeln?), Helsdorf, Westerbeverstedt, Heerstedt; they are all situated around the little town of Beverstedt (near today´s Bremerhaven) and do mostly belong to the parish of Beverstedt (Kirchwistedt is a parish of its own and includes Altwistedt.)
I had a lookup today of the Beverstedt church records, but I am sorry to tell you that there is no indication for the name HAMILTON, neither in the baptisms of the year 1806 and 1838-42 nor in the alphabetical index for baptisms, burials and marriages for the years 1788-1823 and 1823-1851.
Beverstedt and Kirchwistedt church records are both filmed by the LDS.
Greetings from Germany
