It's possible. Look who his mother was married to when he was born.
...born, as a British subject, on the island of Nevis in the West Indies on the
11th of January 1757. He came of good family on both sides. His father, James Hamilton, a Scottish merchant of St. Christopher, was a younger son of Alexander Hamilton of Grange, Lanarkshire, by Elizabeth, daughter of Sir R. Pollock. His mother, Rachael Fawcett (Faucette), of French Huguenot descent, married when very young a Danish proprietor of St. Croix,
John Michael Levine, with whom she lived unhappily and whom she soon left, subsequently living with James Hamilton; her husband
procured a divorce in 1759, but the court forbade her remarriage.
