Charles Hamilton (known when a child as Mary Hamilton) was an English 18th-century female husband. In 1746, Hamilton – while living as a man – married Mary Price. After Price reported she was suspicious of Hamilton's manhood to local authorities, Hamilton was prosecuted for vagrancy, and sentenced in 1746 to a public whipping in four towns and to six months imprisonment with hard labour. Newspaper reports at the time claimed that there had been 14 marriages in all. A 1746 account in the Newgate calendar gives other details.

| - Charles Hamilton (known when a child as Mary Hamilton) was an English 18th-century female husband. In 1746, Hamilton – while living as a man – married Mary Price. After Price reported she was suspicious of Hamilton's manhood to local authorities, Hamilton was prosecuted for vagrancy, and sentenced in 1746 to a public whipping in four towns and to six months imprisonment with hard labour. While the surviving records of the case indicate that Hamilton was actually prosecuted for vagrancy, the fact that she had penetrative sex and sexual intimacy with Mary Price prompted public opinion to ask for a severe punishment of what was considered as deceitful sexuality. Newspaper reports at the time claimed that there had been 14 marriages in all. A 1746 account in the Newgate calendar gives other details. In the same year, Henry Fielding published a fictionalised account of the case under the title The Female Husband. The term Female Husband became common in the US and British press to document behaviour which would later be stigmatised by sexologists. Hamilton was not the first documented female husband, but it was the first use of the term to describe a woman who had married another woman whilst purporting to be male. (en)
- Charles Hamilton est un guérisseur écossais et le premier cas documenté sous la dénomination de female husband (mari féminin) dans l'Angleterre du XVIIIe siècle, une personne transformiste qui née Mary Hamilton vit en tant qu'homme sous le nom de Charles Hamilton et épouse légalement une femme nommée Mary Price. Lorsque Price commença à douter de la virilité de Hamilton, Hamilton fut poursuivi pour vagabondage et condamné en 1746 à une flagellation et à six mois de prison. Les dossiers qui subsistent de l'affaire indiquent que Hamilton a été poursuivi pour vagabondage, mais en réalité c'est le fait qu'il ait eu des relations sexuelles avec pénétration et une intimité sexuelle qui est en jeu, incitant l'opinion publique à demander une punition sévère pour ce qui était considéré comme une tromperie. Les journaux de l'époque affirment qu'il s'est marié 14 fois. Un compte-rendu de 1746 dans le The Newgate Calendar donne d'autres détails controversés. Henry Fielding publie un récit romancé de l'affaire sous le titre The Female Husband. Le terme female husband devient ensuite courant dans la presse américaine et britannique pour documenter des comportements qui seront plus tard stigmatisés par les sexologues. Hamilton n'est pas le premier « female husband » documenté, mais c'est la première fois que le terme est employé pour décrire une personne assignée femme à la naissance épousant une femme et étant décrite comme une female husband.
