Laird Brown has an original hand-written sheet with the same tune which only has "Mary Hamilton" as the title.

According to the <<http://boxandfiddlearchive.weebly.com/stan-hamilton.html|Box and Fiddle archive>> and Iain Boyd's book <<http://my.strathspey.org/dd/publication/600/|All Kinds Of Everything>>, Jimmy Hamilton has composed this tune. It is named after his wife.

Because the full names of Jimmy Hamilton and his son Stan Hamilton are both James Stanley Hamilton some tune assignments might be hard to trace back.
