STEPHEN HAMLIN, IMMIGRANT, AND DESCENDANTS Compiled by Mary Poor Hoffer 1987 DEDICATION This genealogy is dedicated to Mary Eunice Snyder Stoll, deceased, who, with the aid of Charles Hughes Hamlin, assembled much of the early history of Stephen Hamlin and descendants; and to David Ault, also deceased, who had contacted many families for Hamlin information. ii PREFACE In 1953, I became interested in the Hamlin Family when my mother asked me to look up her cousin, Frank Hamlin, in Alliance, Ohio. I could not locate Frank, but talked to another Hamlin who suggested that if I was interested in the Hamlin family genealogy I should see David Ault. I jotted down the address, but did not try to contact Dave until after I had retired from teaching in 1970. In 1968, my second cousin and lifelong friend, Mary Eunice Snyder Stoll, of Farmington, Michigan, too, became interested in the Hamlin history. She contacted Charles Hughes Hamlin, a certified genealogist, of Richmond, Virginia, for early Hamlin history which was available, only, in the Virginia State Library. Mary, Dave and I carried on a three-way correspondence for several years until Dave died from a heart attack in 1976. After his death Mary Stoll began working on her Snyder family which was published before she died in 1981. I published a Hoffer genealogy, two Rarick genealogies and a Poor genealogy and then returned to the Hamlin history the spring of 1985. Some of the material in this book was copied from Dave Ault's files in 1974, when Mary Eunice Stoll and I attended a reunion of the descendants of seven of the families who moved in 1807 from Virginia to Ohio. The reunion was held at the Lexington Grange Pavilion near Alliance, Ohio. Although I have attempted to bring the Etna Green and Bourbon, Indiana, Hamlin families up to the present time, most of the research ends in 1973 or before. I am certain that a member of Dave Ault's family will publish all his material sometime in the future. However, rather than have my copious notes destroyed after I have left this world, I am organizing the data I have in my possession to compile this incomplete Hamlin Family history. Much of my research was done in the court houses in Stark County, Ohio, Marshall and Kosciusko Counties, Indiana; in Ft. Wayne Public Library, Warsaw Public Library and the Kosciusko County Genealogical Library in Indiana; the Denver Public Library, and the National Archives, in Colorado; and in the Latter Day Saints Library at Northglenn, Colorado, and Salt Lake City, Utah. There are discrepancies in dates in this genealogy. Official records of births, deaths and marriages are not always correct. Census records are often inaccurate, while tombstones inscriptions and Bible records sometimes are wrong. Often the Bible birth date does not agree with the age at death given on the gravestone. Surnames (and sometimes given names) are spelled several different ways in the same legal document. Even after proof reading, typing errors do occur. I have attempted to be as error free as possible. I wish to thank everyone who has helped me acquire information on the William P. and Benjamin Hamlin families. Also, special thanks should go to Karl Hamlin, Ada, Michigan, and Margaret Heussmann, Wiggins, Colorado.

FOOTNOTE NUMBER The superscript number indicates that documentation or further information is found at the bottom of the article or on the same page as the superscript number. GENEALOGY NUMBER The number preceding the name of a child is the genealogy number. To learn more about this child locate that number either on the same page or later in the book. If the number cannot be located, that indicates that no other information was available to the compiler. Adopted children do not have genealogy numbers. The genealogy number also gives a clue to what generation this child belongs, as follows: Generation 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th Genealogy Number 1 2--10 11--20 21--50 51--100 101--200 201--500 501--1000 1001--5000 5001--10000 10001--20000 20001--30000 30001--50000 50001--70000 GENERATION NUMBER The underlined superscript following the name of a direct descendant is the generation number. iv Example: 2518 EVA BLANCHE HAMLIN9(Moses8,Tom7,Wm.P.6,Wm.5, Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1). Blanche is the ninth generation in this study, the daughter of Moses, the granddaughter of Thomas, etc. OFFSPRING NUMBER A small Roman numeral preceding the name of a child listed under the parents is called an offspring number. If birth dates are given, the numerals indicate the place among the siblings. If no birth date is given, the small Roman numeral only indicates that the child is one of the total number of children born to the couple. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface ...................................................................................................................................................................... iii Key ............................................................................................................................................................................iv Chapter I Origin of the Surname Hamlin ............................................................................................................... 1 Chapter II Stephen Hamlin, Immigrant ................................................................................................................... 2 Chapter III Stephen Hamlin, Jr. ................................................................................................................................ 4 Stephen Hamlin, Junior's Sons Chapter IV Captain John Hamlin and Descendants ................................................................................................ 5 Chapter V Charles Hamlin and Family ................................................................................................................ 10 Charles Hamlin's Son, Stephen Chapter VI Stephen and Sarah Hamlin Family ...................................................................................................... 12 Chapter VII The Move ............................................................................................................................................ 19 Eldest Son of Stephen and Sarah Hamlin Chapter VIII William and Elizabeth Hamlin Family ...................................................................................................... 20 Two of William and Elizabeth Hamlin's Sons Chapter IX William P.

The Domes Day Book of England recorded Hamelins in Devonshire and Cornwall in 1086. 4 Some of the spellings of the Hamlin name found in documents are: Hamblen, Hamblin, Hamblyn, Hameline, Hamelinn, Hamelyn, Hamlen, Hamline, Hamlyn and Hemblen. Although some English emigrants by the name of Hamlin settled in New England, this compilation follows the history of the Virginia Hamlins and their migration west. The Virginia Hamblyn, Hameline, Hamelyn and Hamlin families lived, at first, in that portion of Charles City County which in 1702 became the County of Prince George. Some members of the family then moved to Surry, Amelia and other counties on the southside of the James River. __________ 1 The Hamlin Family--A Genealogy of Capt., Giles Hamlin of Middleton Conn., 1654-1900, Hon. H. Franklin Andrews, 1900 2 Excerpt from a letter written by H. F. Andrews, Sept. 21, 1897, Exira, Iowa, taken from papers on Hamlins that belonged to Caroline Hamlin Speigel, No. 411. 3 The legend is that Hamelin was infested with rats in 1284 and that a piper appeared and offered to rid the town of the rats for a set fee. He did so but the town authorities refused to pay him. On St. John's Day he reappeared and piped the children out of town. The legend is the source of Robert Browning's poem, The Pied Piper of Hamelin. 4 Andrews, H. F., The Hamlin Family...Middletown, Conn., 1900, p. 8; History of the Hamlin Family with Genealogies of Early Settlers of the Name in America 1639-1894, 1894, pp. 18, 21-22. Andrews failed to document much of his data. However, he did compile a study of the origin of the earliest Hamlins in England which appears authentic and is documented somewhat. When David Ault wrote to Mr. Andrews's daughter in the 1950's for more information about the Hamlin data, David was told that she had burned all of the notes her father had made for his books. 2 CHAPTER II STEPHEN HAMLIN, IMMIGRANT 1 STEPHEN HAMLIN1 was born in England and emigrated to Virginia circa 1637.1 He patented land at Middle Plantation in 1637.2 The following excerpts from Virginia Patent Books indicate how Stephen acquired much of his huge land holdings. On 25 Feb., 1638, a patent was issued to Stephen Hamblyn for 250 acres in Charles River County on Queen's Creek adjoining Richard Popely and from the lands of the said Popely east upon a marsh towards the Pallisadoes. The said land due to the said Hamblyn for his "personal adventure" and for the transportation of John Dixon, Oliver Jueke, Elizabeth Marmore and one negro. On 17 November, 1642, Stephen Hamblyn was granted 400 acres in the county of York at the head of Queen's Creek, west side of Mill Swamp, adjoining land of Captain Popeley, and due to the said Hamblyn for the transportation of Richard Oliver, Benjamin Pillard, Ambrose Bowly, Jon Harrison, Tho Buller, Tho Hynde, Sarah Bennett and Robert Tarbrooke.3 On 26 October, 1650, Mr. Stephen Hamelin was granted 1250 acres in Charles City County, Lyeing at the head of Weyonoke bounded S upon the heads of Wionoke, E upon Matshcoes Creek and the land of Mr. Cantrell, W towards Old Man's Creek and Queen's Creek N. Due said Hamblin for transportation of 25 persons: Jon Ray, Henry Rice, Anth Chandler, Wm. Pylor, Wm. Choldnedge, Richard Arundell, Tho Mason, George Haynes, Samll Parry, Thos Powell, Peter Mason, Wm. Hurt, Tho Howell, Samll Goodwin, Thomas Harris, Robert Taylor, Tho ap Richard, Jonas Alpott, John Woodson, Edward Buckingham, Robert Fryth, Gab Robinson, Clement Whidow, Robert Crouch, Edward Thruston. 4 Another reference stated: On the 26th of October, 1650, Stephen Hamlin was issued in Charles City County, Virginia, a patent on 1250 Acres, "lying on __________ 1 According to material in the Virginia Historical Association, Richmond, Va., three Hamlin brothers landed at Barnstable, Mass., in 1635. Charles settled in Boston; William went to what was then Mexico; and Stephen patented land in Virginia in 1637. It is not known whether the material cited above is correct or not. Much of the early printed history of the Stephen Hamlin family was not documented. In the late 1900's, more and more legal documents of early America have been rescued from the dusty storage areas and have been made available to the public. Thus, many traditions have been discredited, while some others have been proven correct. 2 Wm. and Mary College Quarterly, Series I, Vol 11, p. 59, Note A. 3 Wm. and Mary College Quarterly, Series I, Vol 24, p. 289. 4 Early Virginia Families Along the James River, Their Deep Roots and Tangled Branches, Foley, 1978, Vol. 2, p. 12; Va.

They were the parents of at least three children: 2 i. Stephen Hamlin, Jr. 3 ii. Charles Hamlin, died before December, 1687; his widow m. Isaac Williams. 4 iii. Thomas Hamlin, m.

In February, 1689, David Sanbourne reported in open court that he had witnessed the will of the late Stephen Hamblin at the house of Thomas Cocke in Henrico, which will was now in the possession of Abraham Hamblin. (Va. Court Records, 1689-90, p. 77-90.) Since Thomas Cocke was the guardian of Charles Hamlin, No. 12, it is likely that Abraham was an older son of Stephen, Jr. No. 2. If he had been Stephen, Jr.'s uncle, wouldn't he have been named guardian rather than Thomas Cocke? The will which would have cleared the relationship has been lost. Many of Virginia's records were destroyed during the War Between the States. 4 CHAPTER III STEPHEN HAMLIN, JR. 2 STEPHEN HAMLIN, JR.2(Stephen1) was the son of Stephen and Agnes Hamlin. Stephen repatented his father's 1400 acres in Charles City County, Virginia,1 in 1666. On May 20, 16__, the Council "upon petition of Stephen Hamlyn on behalf of himself and his brothers, orphans of Stephen Hamlyn decd., it was ordered that a qualified surveyor lay out the bounds of that patent of Oct. 26, 1650, and if any surplus be the said Stephen is to have a grant thereof."2 Stephen, Jr. died in Charles City County, Virginia, before December, 1687. He had married:3_______ _______ and had at least two sons:4 11 i. John Hamlin 12 ii. Charles Hamlin iii. Abraham Hamlin (?)5 In 1707, Charles City County, Virginia, Rent Rolls had listed John Hamlin with 143 1/2 acres, Stephen Hamlin, 80 acres, and Thomas Hamlin with 254 acres.6 John, of course, was John Hamlin, No. 11, but who were the other two? __________ 1 Virginia Patent Book 5, p. 487. 2 Southside Virginia Families, James Bennett Boddie, 1955, p. 237. 3 Wm. & Mary College Quarterly, Series I, Vol. 24, pp. 288-289. 4 They Went Thataway, C. H. Hamlin, 1965, Vol. II, Chart I., p. 111. Although the maiden surname of Stephen, Jr.'s wife is not known, it could have been Stringer. According to Order Book (1713-1718), p. 20, Charles Hamlin was named next of kin to Wm. Stringer, deceased. Stephen's wife could not have been Mary Elan as claimed by some family members, because the Stephen of this chapter had died before Mary Elan was married to a Stephen Hamlin in Henrico Parish, Virginia, in the year of 1693.5 See footnote 6, Chapter II, p.3. 6 Va. Hist. Mag., Vol. 31, pp. 315-316. 5 CHAPTER IV CAPTAIN JOHN HAMLIN AND DESCENDANTS 11 JOHN HAMLIN3(Stephen2,Stephen1) was the son of Stephen Hamlin, Jr. and his wife, whose maiden surname probably was Stringer.1. John became a captain in the Charles City County Militia in which he served in 1680. Captain Hamlin was the Burgess for Prince George County, Virginia, in 1710, 1712 and 1714.2 Captain Hamlin died before 1720.3 He had married: ELIZABETH TAYLOR, the daughter of Richard Taylor and Sarah Barker.4 Captain John Hamlin and his wife Elizabeth were the parents of: 21 i. Peter Hamlin 26 vi. Eliz. Hamlin, m. Thomas Ravenscroft. 22 ii. Richard Hamlin 27 vii. Lucy Hamlin, m. William Epes. 23 iii. William Hamlin, b. 1695 28 viii. Hannah Hamlin, m. Thomas Cocke. 24 iv. John Hamlin 25 v. Sarah Hamlin, m. (1) Micajah Lowe; (2) Rev. John Cargill. In the period 1710-1720 the Hamlins of Virginia were close friends and neighbors of the following families: Byrd, Harrison, Eppes, Kennon, Hardyman, Cocke and Edwards.5 A map of the James River plantations based on researches of Colonial Williamsburg, Inc. is included on pages 62-63 in an article The Harrisons of Berkeley Hundred by Clifford Dowdey, published in the American Heritage, Volume VIII, No.3, April, 1957. The map shows the homes of the Harrisons (Berkeley Hundred) and the Byrds (Westover) with the Captain John Hamlin's home (Maycocks) across the river. In the book The Great American Gentleman, William Byrd of Westover in Virginia; His Secret Diary for the Years 1709-1712, edited by Louis B. Wright and Marion Tinling, 1963, there are references to Captain John Hamlin, Mrs. Hamlin and their sons, Dick and Peter. Captain Hamlin was mentioned twice: "On the 25th February, 1710, Mr. Harrison, his wife, and Mrs. Stith came and soon after them Robin Munford and Captain Hamlin who all dined with us."6 Again, 11 October, 1711, "came Captain Hamlin (and others). I persuaded them to stay and dine before we went to the martial court"7 Mrs. Hamlin was mentioned more often. On April 17, 1709, Byrd wrote, "I went to church, where were abundance of people among whom was Mrs. Hamlin, a very handsome woman".8 (The church was Westover Church.) Byrd wrote on September 5, 1709, "My wife was much out of order and had frequent returns of her pains....I sent for Mrs. Hamlin and my cousin Harrison about 9 o'clock." Byrd wrote on Sept. 6, 1709, "about 1 o'clock this morning my wife __________ 1 The compiler has no proof that Stringer was the maiden name of Stephen's wife. All above information came from Mary E. Stoll. 2 They Went Thataway, Charles Hughes Hamlin, 1965, Vol. 2, p. 111. 3 Southside Virginia Families, James Bennett Boddie, 1955, p. 238. 4 Same as footnote number 2. 5 National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. 54, 1966. 6 The Great American Gentleman, William Byrd of Westover in Virginia; His Secret Diary for the Years, 1709-1712, 1963, p.64. 7 Same as above, p. 180. 8 Same as above, p. 16. 6 was happily delivered of a son...My cousin Harrison and Mrs. Hamlin went away about 9 o'clock and I made my satisfactions to them for the kindness."1 Mrs. Hamlin was sent for on February 15, 1710 when Mrs. Byrd was "indisposed". "Mrs. Bolling, the widow" also came and "they both stayed and dined with me".2 When Benjamin Harrison III became very sick, "Mrs. Hamlin and Mrs. Stith and likewise Col. Hill " were at the Harrisons when Byrd arrived. "My cousin Harrison continued bad and 10 April (1710) he died".3 Byrd's son became sick with a fever and on May 18, 1710, "Mrs. Hamlin came to see the child, whose fever continued."4 On the 4th of November, Byrd wrote, "I found all my family well except my daughter, who had a little fever....I found Mrs. Hamlin there to see how everything stood". On the 5th he wrote," Mrs. Hamlin stayed and dined with us... In the afternoon Mrs. Hamlin went away".5 The following year, 25 June, 1711, Mrs. Byrd had a miscarriage and was very ill. "I sent for Mrs. Hamlin who came presently". The next day "Mrs Dunn went home and so did Mrs. Hamlin."6 When a Byrd house guest's wife became ill on the 10th of February, 1711, " about 11 o'clock I sent my boat to Mrs. Hamlin's".7 On the 22nd of October, 1711, "about 11 o'clock I got home and found Mrs. Hamlin there who wanted a physic for her son Dick who had the gripes and I gave her a purge".8 The Harrisons who were friends of the Captain John Hamlins were the Harrisons from whom were descended the ninth and twenty-third presidents of the United States. Captain John Hamlin died circa 1717. His estate was valued at 525 pounds, 12 shillings and 1 pence. Elizabeth Taylor Hamlin died between May 23, 1720, when she made her will, and September, 1720, when her will was probated. The will included the following: to son WILLIAM HAMLIN, five negroes, if William Epes will give my son William Hamlin a good negro to content, then William Epes to have the last three, to wit Cuffie and his wife and child. To daughter LUCY....; to Grandson THOMAS HAMLIN...; to daughter SARAH one mourning ring; to Mr. Cargill one mourning ring, and one to each of their children, to daughter ELIZABETH and her husband each a mourning ring. Remainder of estate to be divided into four equal parts between children, JOHN, WILLIAM, HANNAH and LUCY.9 21 PETER HAMLIN4(John3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was the son of Captain John Hamlin and Elizabeth Taylor. Peter apparently was an agent for William Byrd. In Byrd's diary, an entry for 6 September, 1709, was, "I sent Peter away who brought me a summons to the Council".10 Then of 15 January, 1710, "I sent my English letters over the river to Peter Hamlin who will go Tuesday next to England.11 On 13 March, 1711, "Mr. Peter Hamlin came to see me and told me the Harrison was come in and had __________ 1 The Great American Gentleman, William Byrd of Westover in Virginia: His Secret Diary for the Years 1709-1712, pp. 37-38. 2-8 Same as footnote 1, pp. 62, 70, 77, 109, 159, 129, 184. 9 Southside Virginia Families, Boddie, 1955, p. 237. 10-11 Same as footnote 1, p. 37 and p. 58. 7 abundance of goods for me. I lent him a horse to go to Colonel Hill's".1 Byrd wrote about Peter's health 24 June, 1711, "I went to church where I saw Peter Hamlin who had no letters from Barbadoes for me. People were afraid of him because one of his people (slaves) had the smallpox." Then 27 June, 1711, "when my wife heard that Peter Hamlin had the smallpox she said that she should have them likewise because his mother had been here two nights and she had laid on her sheets".2 On the 5th of July, 1711, Byrd wrote, "Poor Peter Hamlin died of the smallpox, for want of attention."3. 22 RICHARD HAMLIN4(John3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was the son of Captain John Hamlin and Elizabeth Taylor. Richard married: ANN HARRISON, the daughter of Thomas and Elenor Harrison.4 Ann was named executor of Captain John Hamlin's estate.5. Richard and Ann were the parents of five children:6 56 i.Thomas Hamlin d. 1750; m. ca. 1734, Mrs. Ann (Flood) Cocke, 1693-174_; 2 children. Ann's 1st m. to Wm. Cocke7 Ann was the daughter of Walter Flood and Anne Browne. 57 ii. Martha Hamlin 58 iii. Richard Hamlin 59 iv. Elizabeth Hamlin 60 v. Sarah Hamlin 23 WILLIAM HAMLIN4(John3,Stephen2,Stephen1) born in 1695, was the son of John Hamlin and Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth and John gave William 200 acres, "Hawknest", the deed dated October 10, 1717. On October 14, 1719, Elizabeth deeded him a tract of land on Huckleberry Bottom adjacent to Robert Wilkerson's land.8 On the 11th of August, 1724, William sold 1593 acres to Thomas Ravenscroft.9 William was clerk of the court of Prince George County, Virginia, from 1714-1729. Volume I of records for Prince George County from 1711-1728 was taken during the War of the Rebellion and was recovered in a deserted camp of Federal soldiers by a boy--who became Hon. Timothy Rieves, judge of the county court. The volume was 18x14x6 inches in size and weighed 32 pounds. Its heavy linen pages bore the water marks of the preceding reign and was seamed with catgut. The thick covers were bound in vellum and stamped with the Royal Arms and fastened with massive bronze clasps. The covers were marred badly; the catgut still held; and the firm hand writing of William Hamlin, Clerk of Courts, showed the antique lettering in clear black ink. Names in Volume II included: Hamlin, Cocke, Poythress, Randolph, Pryor and Lee.10 William died the 18th of June, 1763. He had married: __________ 1,2,3 The Great American Gentleman, William Byrd of Westover in Virginia: His Secret Diary for the Years 1709-1712, 1963, pp. 136, 157, 158 and 161. 4 William and Mary College Quarterly, Series I, Vol. 11, p. 60. 5 Same quarterly and page as footnote 4. 6 Prince George Co.

Also, James Bennett Boddie has a chapter on the Hamblin-Hamlin families of Prince George County, Virginia, in Southside Virginia Families. Because of the above sources, and because the purpose of this genealogy is to record the descendants of Captain John's brother, Charles Hamlin, a direct ancestor of the author of this compilation, the descendants of Captain John Hamlin will not be continued here. 10 CHAPTER V CHARLES HAMLIN AND FAMILY 12 CHARLES HAMLIN3(Stephen2,Stephen1) was the son of Stephen Hamlin, Jr. and wife. Stephen, Jr. died while Charles was still a minor child. In December 1687, Capt. Thomas Cocke, a guardian of the orphan of Stephen Hamblin, sued James Bisse. Abraham Hinton cared for young Charles for a while and then John Jones took Charles in 1690.1 Charles died previous to the 16th of August, 1721.2. Charles Hamlin married: SUSANNAH ROOKINGS, the daughter of William Rookings III, and his wife, Ann. Charles and Susannah were the parents of at least two children, one of whom was: 29 i. Stephen Hamlin, b. ca. 1715. Digests of court proceedings substantiate the relationships given above: Order Book (1713-1718), p. 20, Surry Co. Virginia: On the 17th of December, 1713, Charles Hamlin, next of kin to William Stringer, deceased, made an oath that William Stringer died without making a will and Charles gave Security to become the administrator of the estate of the deceased. Deeds and Wills No. 6 (1709-1715), p. 195, Surry Co., Va.: Gregory Rawlins, of Surry County sold to Charles Hamlin, 126 acres of land in Surry County being part of 300 acres patented to John Osbourne dec'd, dated 26 Apr. 1639, etc. Order Book (1713-1718), p.35, Surry Co., Va.: On the 16th of June, 1714, the deed for the land Gregory Rawlings had sold to Charles Hamlin was recorded and Hannah Rawlings gave up her right of dower in said land.

(Surry Co. Deeds & Wills, Book 7 (1715-1730) Part 2, p. 355.) 3 This William Hamlin was a nephew of Charles Hamlin. of the said Charles Hamlin dec'd. The inventory was proven by the oath of Susannah Bridges. The amount of the widow's third was itemized (31 pounds, 12 shillings and 3/4 pence) and what was left (114 pounds, 4 shillings and 1 1/4 pence) was due to the orphans of Charles Hamlin. Surry County, Virginia Records. 11 Besides the records quoted above, Charles purchased and sold other land. After the death of Charles, Susannah married Timothy Bridges who died previous to the 20th of November, 1723.1. The proof that Charles Hamlin and his wife, Susannah Rookings, had a son named Stephen can be found in Surry County, Virginia, Deed Book, 4 (1741-1746) pages 138-139. In an indenture dated 19 July, 1743, Stephen sells to James Rookings of Surry County, 126 acres of land, the land being the same land "sold and conveyed by Gregory Rawlins to Charles Hamlin, father of the aforesaid Stephen Hamlin, and by the Said Charles Hamlin devised to his aforesaid son, Stephen Hamlin......" The deed was recorded on the 20th of July, 1743. As yet records have not been located which name the other children of Charles Hamlin and Susannah Rookings. Charles Hamlin left a will but the will has not been found. Many of the Virginia Records were destroyed during the Civil War. Susannah's great grandfather, William Rookings, an emigrant from England, arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, on the Bona Nova in 1619. More can be found about Susannah's ancestors in the appendix of this Hamlin genealogy. The records of the Rookings family provide eligibility for their descendants to become members of the First Families of Virginia and The Jamestown Society. ---------1 Prince George County Deeds (1713-1728), p. 899: April, 1723, William Hamlin, administrator of the estate of Mr. Timothy Bridges, gave a financial account to the court. Among the debits against the estate were "To the orphans of Charles Hamlin, deceased, 114 pounds, 4 shillings and 1 pence " and " By a negro man and a negro girl in his possession, belonging to the orphans of Charles Hamlin, dec'd valued to 51 pounds." The accounts prove that Susannah was the widow of Charles Hamlin and that her second husband, Timothy Bridges, also, was deceased. 12 CHAPTER VI STEPHEN AND SARAH HAMLIN FAMILY 29 STEPHEN HAMLIN4(Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born between 1710 and 1720 in Surry County, Virginia, the son of Charles Hamlin and Susannah Rookings.1 On July, 1743, Stephen sold to his cousin, James Rookings, of Surry County, 126 acres of land which had been sold by Gregory Rawlins to Stephen's father, Charles Hamlin, the 10th of April, 1714.2 The land had been willed to Stephen by his father.3 Surry County was divided in 1753-4 to form Sussex County and then Stephen's land became part of the new county. The only record on file in Sussex County, of purchases of land by Stephen was the deed dated the 19th of August, 1772, when Stephen Hamlin bought about 200 acres in Sussex County from John Murphy of Bute County, Province of North Carolina, the new acreage being bounded in part by Stephen's own land. However, in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, the estate of Stephen Hamlin was taxed on 2,200 plus 850 acres in 1787 and 2200, 850 plus 303 acres in 1788-1800.4The Dinwiddie land records were lost during the War Between The States. Although other Virginia Hamlin families belonged to the state church, Stephen was a Quaker. On the 16th of May, 1767, he was granted a certificate excusing him from military service. (Probably Virginia Militia.) At the time of his death he was an elder overseer of Stanton's Particular (Preparatory) Meeting. Stephen died before the 18th of March, 1775, in Sussex County.5 He had married prior to 1749: MRS. SARAH CRYER,6 the widow of Robert Cryer. Sarah and Robert were the parents of a daughter, Elizabeth Cryer, born circa 1746. William Cryer, a brother of Robert ---------1 Since Charles and Susannah Hamlin lived in Surry County, it is presumed that Stephen was born there. Proof for the parentage of Stephen can be found on page 11. He had to be born no later than 1719 as he was a godparent by 1740 and a godparent and sponsor at the baptism of George Briggs, June 14, 1741; so had to be at least 21 years of age at that time. (Register of Albermarle Parish, Colonial Dames, p. 31) He probably was born about 1715. 2 Surry Co., Va., Deed Book 4 (1741-1746), pp. 138-9 3 Although the will is lost, the deeds make clear that Stephen had received the land through the will of his father, Charles . 4 Land Records, Dinwiddie Co., Va., 1752-1820, Hughes, 1973, p. 88. 5 Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Hinshaw, Vol. 6, p. 10 6 Although the maiden name of Sarah Cryer Hamlin can not be proven, it is possible that she was Sarah Poythress who was born the 7th of August, 1731, to William Poythress and Sarah Eppes in Bristol Parish, Prince George Co., Va. The reason for this supposition is that Sarah Hamlin's grandson, William, had Poythress as his middle name as did another descendent. William Poythress was the son of John Poythress; the grandson of Major Francis Poythress and wife, Rebecca; and the great grandson of Capt. Francis Poythress who arrived in Virginia in 1733. (The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. VII, p. 71 and Vol. 33, p. 32) Sarah Eppes was the daughter of Francis Eppes. If Sarah Cryer was the former Sarah Poythress, she was about sixteen when she married Robert Cryer. Their daughter, Elizabeth Cryer, probably was born in 1747. Elizabeth probably was married when she was sixteen, also. 13 Cryer,1 instigated a suit against Stephen and Sarah Hamlin because Stephen had not given him a financial statement of the estate of Elizabeth Cryer. The original court papers have been lost, but the suit was continued April 15, 1757. At the Virginia Yearly Meeting May 13, 1758, Stephen Hamlin "requested to be repaid the costs of an appeal to the general court in a suit brought by his wife's former husband's brother for taking away her child to whom he had been appointed guardian by the court. He proceeded by advice of Friends."2 On May 16, 1760, the case in Sussex County order book was marked "Dismissed."3 The accounting of the Estate of Elizabeth Cryer, infant, orphan of Robert Cryer, dec'd, by Stephen Hamlin was recorded September 17, 1761, in Book 1754-89, page 44 and on September 16, 1762, in same Guardian Account Book, p. 64 as follows: ELIZABETH CRYER ORPHAN To be paid Ann Grissvit for Schooling 15 Shillings ......................... 1 pair Shoes 2 Shillings 6 pence ........................................................ 0-17-6 To paid Samuel Peete 10 Shillings. one pair Shoes 2/6 ................................................................... 0-12-6 To John Long for Boad 1/0/0 to 5 Yards linen 2/10 ........................................................................

(Hinshaw, Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol. VI, p. 107 under Hamlin.) Both William and Charles had emancipated their slaves before Sarah did.

Bailey CSC In a Historical Sketch of the Hamlin Family written by E. L. Sebrell, Limaville, Ohio, August 25th, 1894, and copied by Daisy Wood the 15th of August, 1899, Stephen Hamlin's wife was said to be "a widow lady by the name of Sarah Portress (one of the several spellings for Poythress) whose maiden name was Cryer." It has been proven that the widow was Sarah Cryer; so Poythress could have been Sarah's maiden name. Andrews, in his study of the Hamlin family, stated "Sarah Cryer nee Poythress". Because many of his statements were not documented the information given is not necessarily authentic. In Virginia Tax Papers, 1782-1787, on page 54, Stephen Hamlin had 30 slaves in Dinwiddie County. Could this be the estate of the Stephen Hamlin who married Sarah Cryer since the land was not divided until 1790? Practically all the records in Dinwiddie County were destroyed during the War Between The States, as were some of the records of Surry, Sussex and Prince George County, making it very difficult to obtain a complete history of the legal transactions of the Hamlin Family. 20 CHAPTER VII THE MOVE On the 22nd of April, 1807, a large group of people left the area of Surry and Sussex Counties of Virginia for Ohio. The party included William Hamlin, his wife and five children; John Hamlin, his wife and five children; Charles Hamlin and five children (his wife having died in Virginia); Jesse Felts, wife and two children; Joseph Sebrell, wife and seven children; Thomas Wood, wife and two children; Jordan Jones and family; some other families and also negro families. (Some of the negroes who accompanied the Hamlins took Hamlin for their surname.)1 According to a letter formerly in the possession of Carrie Hamlin Stevenson, South Haven, Michigan, the seven Virginia emigrant families named above used 36 two-wheeled carts drawn by ox teams for the move to Ohio in search for homes in the new and unsettled West. The group arrived at Salem, Columbiana County, Ohio, in June, 1807. There they camped while the men searched for suitable land. Jesse Felts and Charles Hamlin accidentally found the "Stanton" settlement which had been established near Lexington Village several years previously. The Stantons persuaded the men to settle near Lexington in Stark County, Ohio. Eventually, all of the above named families purchased land and built homes in the that area. The settlement in Lexington Township had been made in 1805-1806 by families attached to the Quaker faith.2 Lexington Village was laid out by Nathan Gaskill and Amos Holloway.3 Many of the children of these families intermarried. The late David W. Ault of Alliance, Ohio, was a descendant of four of the above men: Charles Hamlin, Joseph Sebrell, Thomas Wood and Jesse Felts. The other three men were his great uncles: William Hamlin, John Hamlin and Jordan Jones. For years, David Ault researched for the descendants of all seven families and accumulated many notebooks full of the research material but died in 1976 before he could publish a book on the families. His daughter is in possession of his notebooks. A reunion of the descendants of the above seven families is held each year in Lexington Township, Stark County, Ohio. The village of Lexington which was located two miles north of Alliance, Ohio, no longer exists. __________ 1 There were black families with the surname of Hamlin listed in the 1850 U.S. Census of Stark County, Ohio. Black families with the Hamlin surname were living in Alliance, Ohio, in the 1950's. 2 History of Stark County, Perrin, Baskin & Battey, Chicago, 1881, p. 421. 3 The Stark County Story, p. 27 21 CHAPTER VIII WILLIAM AND ELIZABETH HAMLIN FAMILY 91 WILLIAM HAMLIN5(Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born circa 1750, in Surry County, Virginia, the son of Stephen Hamlin and wife, the former Mrs. Sarah Cryer. The part of Surry County where he was born became Sussex County when he was a small child. William was the first member of the family to emancipate some of his slaves. On the 7th of August, 1782, he set free two slaves, Amy, age 32, and Charles, 27. He also emancipated Drury, age 6 months, but retained guardianship of him until the boy became 21.1 Again in 1787 William set free three slaves: Isbel, age 34; James, age 33; Fan, age 20 and two children, Randall, age 14 and Cillar, age 12. As before, William retained guardianship until the children were of age.2 William and Charles did not divide their father's estate until 1790, after the death of their mother. William kept the 400 acres where the Mansion House stood. On the 7th of April, 1791, William sold about half of the 400 acres to his brother, John, for 100 pounds.3 In Dinwiddie County, Virginia, between 1801 and 1806, William was taxed on 500 acres which had been conveyed to him by Stephen Hamlin.4 Then William began selling off his land in preparation for the move to Ohio. On the 24th of February, 1807, William sold 245 acres to Thomas Blunt, Jr. for $1,000.00.5 Other land sales probably can be found in records. There is a Quaker record which indicates that William Hamlin was condemned at the Black Water Monthly Meeting the 25th of March, 1807, for his conduct and then reinstated.6 On the 23rd of May, 1807, William was awarded a Salem Monthly Meeting certificate which was given to William Wren to forward to Ohio. The 14th of June, 1808, William Hamlin was received on certificate by the Salem Monthly Meeting in Columbiana County, Ohio, from the Blackwater Monthly Meeting of Virginia.7 On the 12th of February, 1811, Susannah, Charles, William and Stephen, the children of William and Elizabeth were released from the Salem Monthly Meeting by request.8 William purchased lot No. 11 in Lexington, Stark County, Ohio, from Amos Holloway the deed dated October 30, 1809.9 William died sometime after he made his will on July 2, 1928, and before the will was entered in the Probate Court, Stark County, Ohio, on Aug. 17, 1929. William was buried in the Lexington Cemetery, Lexington Township, Stark County, Ohio. The stone is no longer on a grave and the date of death is illegible.10 __________ 1 Sussex County, Va., Deed Book F, p. 148 2 Sussex Co., Va., Deed Book G, p. 169 3 Sussex Co., Va., Deed Book G, p. 591 4 Land Records, Dinwiddie County, Va., 1752-1820, Hughes, 1973, p.88 5 Sussex Co., Va., Deed Book K, p. 84 6 Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Hinshaw, VI, (Virginia), p.107; probably for swearing instead of affirming on land deeds. 7 Same reference as footnote 6. 8 Same book as foot note 6 but Vol. 4, p. 715. 9 Stark Co., O.

I now leave my house and land whereas I now live to be sold and the money to be equally divided, between my three sons, William P., Benjamin and Stephen Hamlin. I leave to my daughters, Susannah R.

All the remaining part of my property to be sold and the money equally divided between my three sons, William P. , Benjamin and Stephen Hamlin. I hereby appoint Thomas Wood, Shadrack Felts, William P. Hamlin, Executors of this my last Will and Testament. Whereas I witness my hand and seal this second day of the seventh month, one thousand eight hundred and twenty eight. WILLIAM HAMLIN Seal Shadrack Felts Stephen Hamlin James E. Hamlin Stephen Hamlin came to Court of Common Pleas, Stark County, Ohio, August, 1829, to present the will of William Hamlin. Jno. Myers, Clk. Stark Co., O. Probate Court--Exm 371, Adm. A 194, p.28; Wm. P. Hamlin et al, Aug. 17, 1829 William was married the 20th of November, 1795, in Sussex County, Virginia, by the Reverend Drewry Lane, to:2 ELIZABETH BRIDGES, who was born previous to 1775.3 Some sources state that Elizabeth was not born a Quaker but became one after she had married William. Elizabeth died in Stark County, Ohio, and was buried in Lexington Cemetery. The stone, like her husband's, is no longer on a grave and the dates are not legible.4 William and Sarah were the parents of: 161 i. Thomas Hamlin, b. 21 Feb., 1798, Sussex Co., Va. 162 ii.

Wayne Public Library, microfilm, OH-184, p. 433, Stark Co., O., Cemetery Records. 5 The Quaker records have this child's name as Charles in both the Virginia and Ohio Monthly Meetings, but have no Benjamin. The compiler knew that Benjamin Hamlin was a brother of William P. Hamlin as descendants of both families could trace the relationship back to Benjamin and William. It was not until the will of William Hamlin was found in the Stark County Court Dockets, that the relationship could be proven. There is no Charles in the will but a Benjamin, instead. Thus the child's name was probably Charles Benjamin--the same as Benjamin's grandson born in 1874. 23 PART 1 THOMAS HAMLIN 161 THOMAS HAMLIN6(Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born the 21st of February, 1798, in Sussex County, Virginia, the son of William Hamlin and Elizabeth Bridges. Thomas died young. 1 PART 2 SUSANNAH R. HAMLIN SHINN AND FAMILY 162 SUSANNAH R. HAMLIN6(William5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2, Stephen1) was born either on the 25th of January, 1800, or about the 28th of December, 1799, in Sussex County, Virginia, the daughter of William Hamlin and Elizabeth Bridges. Susannah moved to Ohio with her parents when she was seven years old. She died in Marshall County, Indiana, the 4th of February, 1871,2 at the age of 71 years, 1 month and 7 days, and was buried in the Summit Chapel Cemetery, Tippecanoe Township, Marshall County, Indiana. She was married the 6th of January, 1827, in Stark County, Ohio, by John Green, Justice of Peace to: 3 AARON SHINN, who was born in Ohio, the son of David Shinn. Aaron's parents were Quakers who came to Ohio from New Jersey. A record in the Carmel Monthly Meeting of Columbiana County, Ohio, on August 30, 1837 stated that David and wife, Susan, and children, Hannah and David R.4 and Israel were received on certificate from Marlborough MM, Ohio. Evidently Aaron's name was David Aaron. Later, either Aaron moved his family from Ohio to Marshall County, Indiana, or he died young and his widow and children followed two of her brothers to Marshall County, Indiana. Three of Susannah and Aaron's children were:5 328 i. Hannah Ann Shinn, b. O. (No further information). 329 ii. David A. Shinn, b. ca. 1829, O. 330 iii. Isaiah Shinn, b. ca. 1834, O. 329 DAVID A. SHINN7(Susannah6,Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2, Stephen1) was born in Ohio in 1829, the son of Aaron Shinn and Susannah Hamlin. David purchased land the 21st of October, 1853, in Marshall County, Indiana.6 Again he bought land the 7th of April, 1855, in Tippecanoe Township, Marshal County. He moved to Etna Green, Kosciusko County, Indiana, where he became a merchant and a Justice of Peace.7 David died the 2nd of April, 1863, from "spotted fever" at the age of 34 years, and was buried in the Old West Cemetery, Etna Township, Kosciusko County, Indiana.8 __________ 1 Birth date taken from Dave Ault's records. 2 Dave Ault gave Jan. 25, 1800 as the birth date of Susannah but her age at death inscribed on tombstone indicates the second date. 3 Stark Co., O. Index to Marriages, Probate Court: Book I, p. 43. The marriage was not recorded until Mar. 4, 1827. 4 Evidently, David's middle name was Aaron. Quaker records and some Census records had R. for the middle initial, probably standing for Ron, a shortened version of Aaron. 5 Perhaps the Elizabeth H. Shinn who married Sidney Shields on 3rd of July, 1853, in Kos. Co., Ind., was also Aaron's child. 6 Marshall Co., Ind., Deed Book I, p. 387; also Deed Book J, p.592. 7 The compiler has in her possession a legal document signed by D. A. Shinn, J. P., the 26th of January, 1863. 8 Cemetery Record, D. A. R., Kos. Co., Ind.; also from the surname card file in Kos. Co. Genealogical Soc.

SHINN8(David7,Susannah6,Wm.5,Stephen4.Charles3, Stephen2,Stephen1) was born circa 1854, in Ohio, the son of David A. and Sarah G. Shinn. In 1880 Edwin lived with the Wm. Bowen family in Etna Green, Indiana. He lived in Oklahoma prior to his marriage the 15th of March, 1895, in Kosciusko County, Indiana, to: JENNIE ROCK, who was born circa 1863, the daughter of A.H. Boggs and Martha Thomas.2 602 OLIVER P. SHINN8(David7,Susannah6,Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3, Stephen2,Stephen1), the son of David A. and Sarah G. Shinn, was born in Indiana, in September 1856. In 1880 Oliver lived in Etna Township, Kosciusko County.3 He was married in Marshall County, Indiana, the 10th of June, 1879, to:4 LULA A. COCHRAN, who was born circa 1859. Evidently Lulu died in the 1880's. Oliver was married again on the 19th of August, 1888, to:5BESSIE H. ACER, who was born in August, 1871, in Indiana. By 1900 Oliver and Bessie had had two children:6 2481 i. Child Shinn, died before 1900. 2482 ii. Vincin B. Shinn, b. Oct., 1891, Ind. 603 ANSON B. SHINN8(David7,Susannah6,Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1), the son of David A. and Sarah G. Shinn, was born in Indiana circa 1859. Anson died the 28th of October, 1939, and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Warsaw, Indiana. He was married the 6th of July, 1890, to:7 LAURA GRIFFITH, who was born in Warsaw, Indiana, circa 1868, the daughter of William Griffith and Elizabeth Brown. Laura died the 15th of October, 1946, and was buried by her husband in Oakwood Cemetery. 604 ELIZABETH SHINN8(David7,Susannah6,Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1), the daughter of David A. Shinn and Sarah Summy was born in Etna Green, Kosciusko County, Indiana, circa 1863. Lizzie was married the 20th of May, 1889, to:8AVERY E. GAULT, who was born circa 1863 in Kosciusko County, Indiana, the son of George Gault and Mary J. Smith. Avery was a farmer. _________ 1 In official marriage records, Sarah's maiden surname was given as Summey, Summy and Tenny. 2 Kos. Co., Ind., Marriage Records, Book K, p.121. 3 1880 U. S.

Isaiah was a farmer living in Bourbon Township, Marshall County, Indiana, in 1870.2 Isaiah died on the Thursday before December 14, 1893.3 He was married the 23rd of March, 1863, in Marshall County, Indiana, to:4 LOUISA HERRELL, who was born circa 1840 in Indiana.1 Isaiah and Louisa were the parents of at least 4 children: 605 i.

George was married the 1st of April, 1893, in Kosciusko County, Indiana, to:5 EMMA M. COX. George and Emma had a least one child, a daughter.6 606 SARAH J. SHINN8(Isaiah7,Susannah6,Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born circa 1866, in Indiana, the daughter of Isaiah Shinn and Louisa Herrell. Sarah was married, the 6th of March, 1892, in Kosciusko County, Indiana, to:7 GEORGE T. WILDMAN, who was born circa 1858, in Marshall County, Indiana, the son of Towney Wildman and Mary Pellett. 608 VIOLA SHINN8(Isaiah7,Susannah6,Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2 Stephen1), the daughter of Isaiah Shinn and Louisa Herrell, was born in Marshall County, Indiana.

PART 4 (CHARLES) BENJAMIN HAMLIN 164 BENJAMIN HAMLIN6(Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen11) the son of William Hamlin and Elizabeth Bridges will be found in Chapter X, page 55. 26 PART 5 STEPHEN HAMLIN 165 STEPHEN HAMLIN6(Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born in Sussex County, Virginia, the 31st of August, 1806, the son of William Hamlin and Elizabeth Bridges.1 Stephen moved with his parents to Ohio in 1806. Stephen died the 13th of November, 1873, at the age of 67, and was buried in the Lexington, Ohio, Cemetery. Ten of his children were buried in the same plot. In 1832, when his father's estate was settled, Stephen still was single. He was married the 16th of November, 1837 by Thomas Moon,2 to: ABIGAIL SCOTT.3 Abigail were disowned by the Quakers in Upper Springfield Monthly Meeting the 21st of August, 1863, because Abigail had joined the Gurneyites.3 Stephen and Abigail had fourteen children, only one (Tabitha) surviving until maturity. Two daughters were:5 356 i. E______ Hamlin, b. ca. 1846 369 ii. Tabitha Hamlin, b. ca. 1856; m. Levi Unger, 6 Sept., 18766 __________ 1 Quaker Records show that Wm., Elizabeth, Susannah, William, Charles and Stephen Hamlin were released in Virginia to move to Ohio. Dave Ault's records had Stephen born Aug. 31, 1808, but the birth year must have been wrong as he was listed in Virginia Quaker records at the time of the move of the Hamlins to Ohio in 1807, which indicates that the birth date was probably 1806. 2 Stark Co., O., Marriage Records, Book B, 1836-51, p. 51. 3 Could the Abigail A. Hamlin buried in the Alliance City Cemetery, in Stark Co., O., b. 7 July, 1818, d. 13 Mar., 1877 be the Abigail who married Steven Hamlin born in 1806? 4 Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Hinshaw, Vol. IV, p. 961. 5 1860 U. S. Census, Lexington Township, Stark Co., O., p. 50; two 18 year housekeepers and a 23 year old laborer were living with the Stephen Hamlin family. 6 The surname of Unger and marriage date of 1876 from LDS Microfishe of Hamlin Surname list of Ohio. NOTES for CHAPTER VIII: Bourbon Township, Marshall County, Indiana, is located just north of Tippecanoe Township of the same county. Both townships are adjacent to Etna Township, which lies just east of the Marshall-Kosciusko County line in Kosciusko County, Indiana. The Pottawatomie Indian Chief Benack and many members of his tribe were living along the banks of the Tippecanoe River in Tippecanoe Township, Marshall County, Indiana, as late as 1853-54. 27 CHAPTER IX WILLIAM P. HAMLIN 163 WILLIAM P. HAMLIN6(William5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born the 1st of June, 1802, in Sussex County, Virginia, the son of William Hamlin and Elizabeth Bridges. The initial P. was said by a great granddaughter, Ruth Brindley Lutes, to stand for Penn, but since a grandson had Portress (another spelling for Poythress) as his middle name, the P. probably stood for Poythress.1 William was a farmer. He died the 11th of September, 1873, aged 71 years, 3 months and 10 days, in Marshall County, Indiana, and was buried in the Summit Chapel Cemetery, Tippecanoe Township, Marshall County, Indiana.2 William was married the 4th of February, 1830, in Stark County, Ohio, by Levi Burden, Justice of Peace,3 to: REBECCA WOOD, who was born the 10th of February, 1813, in Salem, Columbiana County, Ohio, the daughter of Thomas B. Wood and Cherry Jones. Rebecca died the 29th of September, 1880, at the age of 67 years, 7 months and 21 days, in Marshall County, Indiana, and was buried in Summit Chapel Cemetery, Tippecanoe Township, Marshall County, Indiana. William, Rebecca and their children moved from their farm in Stark County, Ohio, to Marshall County, Indiana, in the winter of 1850-1851, in a covered wagon.4 They purchased timber land in Tippecanoe Township, the deed dated 21 June, 1851.5 A few years later, William's brother, Benjamin, moved to Indiana to become a close neighbor.6 William and Rebecca were the parents of twelve children: 331 i. Sarah Jones Hamlin, b. 12 April, 1831, Stark Co., O.7 332 ii. Mahala W. Hamlin, b. 2 Sept., 1832, Stark Co., O. 333 iii. Thomas Jefferson Hamlin, b. 18 Feb., 1834, Stark Co., O. 334 iv. Lenora Hamlin, b. 4 Dec., 1835, Stark Co., O. 335 v. Daniel Wesley Hamlin, b. 21 April, 1838, Stark Co., O. 336 vi. Samuel Reno Hamlin, b. 21 Nov., 1839, Stark Co., O. 337 vii. Stephen Hamlin, b. 15 July, 1841, Stark Co., O. 338 viii. Elizabeth E. Hamlin, b. 30 Oct., 1842, Stark Co., O. 339 ix. Benjamin Franklin Hamlin, b. 13 June, 1844, Stark Co., O. 340 x. Calvin R. Hamlin, b. 6 March, 1846, Stark Co., O. 341 xi. Elbridge Gerry Hamlin, b. 26 May, 1848, Stark Co., O. 342 xii. Mary Miranda Hamlin, b. 6 April, 1851 __________ 1 If William's middle name was Portress or Poythress, in all probability the maiden name of his grandmother Hamlin was Poythress. William's middle name would more apt to have been Penn if he had been born in Pennsylvania instead of Virginia. 2 Birth and death dates of William and Rebecca were taken from their tombstone at Summit Chapel. 3 Stark Co., O., Marriage Records, Book A, 1809-1836, p. 189. 4 Idella Hamlin Brindley, a granddaughter gave the date of the move 1848-49 which cannot be true because in the U. S. 1850 Census, Lex. Twp., Stark Co., O., taken Oct. 28, 1850, the Wm. P. Hamlin family is listed on page 450. 5 Marshall Co., Ind., Deed Book G, p. 246. 6 An old Marshall Co.,Ind.,Atlas shows the location of the two farms. 7 The date for Sarah's birth was taken from a hand written paper with births of all William's children, but death age on her tombstone and her age on census records makes the birth year 1830. 28 PART 1 SARAH JONES HAMLIN COONS AND FAMILY 331 SARAH JONES HAMLIN7(Wm.P.6,Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1), according to family records, was born the 12th of April, 1831, in Stark County, Ohio,1 the daughter of William P. Hamlin and Rebecca Wood. Sarah died the 4th of July, 1880, probably in Kosciusko County, Indiana, at the age of 50 years, 2 months and 27 days and was buried in Summit Chapel Cemetery, Tippecanoe Township, Marshall County, Indiana.2 On the 21st of June, 1860, in Marshall County,3 she married: MOSES JACKSON COONS, M.D.4, who was born the 3rd of June, 1821, in Brown County, Ohio. He came to Kosciusko County, Indiana, in 1846. He had a wide spread medical practice in both Marshall and Kosciusko Counties. He died the 5th of December, 1885, at the age of 64 years and 6 months and was buried in the Etna Green Cemetery, Etna Township, Kosciusko County, Indiana. Sarah and Moses were the parents of three children: 611 i. Mary Rebecca Coons, b. 29 April, 1861, Ind. 612 ii.William Thomas Coons, b. 22 April, 1864; d. 14 Aug., 1864, age 3 months, 18 days; buried at Summit Chapel Cem.5 613 iii. Elizabeth A. Coons, b.4 Mar.1867, Etna Twp.,Kos. Co.,Ind. 611 MARY REBECCA COONS8(Sarah7,Wm.P.6,Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born the 29th of April, 1861, in Indiana, the daughter of Dr. Moses J. Coons and Sarah Jones Hamlin. Mollie died the 16th of December, 1925. She was married the 10th of June, 1893, to: EDWARD WOLF. Edward died the 10th of January, 1936. They had one child: 2507 i. Jennie Wolf, b. 11 June, 1895. 2507 JENNIE WOLF9(Mary8,Sarah7,Wm.P.6,Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born the 11th of June, 1895, the daughter of Mary Coons and Edward Wolf. Jennie died the 20th of September, 1964. She was married the 30th of August, 1915, to: JOSEPH WILLIG, who was born the 15th of October, 1889. Joseph and Jennie were the parents of: 7210 i.

Winnie was brought up to do what well-to do women did to occupy their time in the late 1800's--learn to do fine embroidery, china painting, etc. However, Winnie learned to adjust to circumstances after the family wealth was lost (due to bad mineral investments and to brother Tom's escapades) and used her talents as a writer to earn a living by working as a reporter for the Warsaw Union newspaper. When a young woman, Winnie was very much in love but her father broke up the romance because he thought the young man was not good enough for her; so Winnie never married.6 She died from a heart attack the 9th of August, 1931, in Warsaw, Kosciusko County, Indiana, and was buried in the Oakwood Cemetery, Warsaw, Kosciusko County, Indiana.7 631 KATHLEEN LILLIAN HAMLIN8(Reno7,Wm.P.6,Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles,3 Stephen2, Stephen1) was born the 24th of March, 1879, in Indiana, the daughter of Samuel Reno Hamlin and Marietta Phillips.

Winnie and the compiler's mother were second cousins and, also, close friends. 48 She dressed in bright colored clothing, red being her favorite color. Evidently, in later life her eyes were not good, as she applied rouge and lipstick carelessly. She was a great lover of cats and would do without adequate food for herself to feed the many cats she kept. The children in the neighborhood, not knowing what a fine person she had been, called her, "Katy, the cat woman."1 She died the 17th of September, 1968, in the Prairie View Nursing Home, Warsaw, Indiana, where she had been a charity patient for several years. 2 Katie was married the 22nd of July, 1906, by Rev.

About 1913 or 1914 the Bakers purchased an auto, brass trimmed, and, if the compiler recalls correctly, bright red in color. One day the Bakers, wearing dusters, drove on the one track gravel and sand roads from Columbia City to the farm home of the compiler's parents four miles northwest of Warsaw, arriving in the afternoon. They blasted the horn which brought the occupants of the house out to the yard. The car shook and shivered and made quite a racket while everyone was visiting. The engine was not turned off, probably, to avoid having to crank the engine to restart it. Before the Bakers returned to Columbia City, who should arrive in a horse driven buggy from Goshen, but Charles and Rebecca Hewitt! Rebecca was an aunt of Ella Baker as well as to the compiler's mother. Both the Bakers and the Hewitts had traveled about 25 miles or more that day to reach the Claude Poor home. 4 Ella's sons supported her for several years before her death.

If Charles Hewitt had sinned in his youth, he had reformed as he grew older. He was the most Christlike man the compiler has ever met. 2 Probably had what we now know as Alzheimer's disease. 3 His property was supposed to go to Clyde Hewitt at his death.

After the death of her mother in 1890, she moved into the Joshua Bitting home "to take care of his motherless children."1 Lucinda was married the 5th of November, 1894,2, in Bourbon, Marshall County, Indiana, by Dr. I.W. Singer, to: JOSHUA BITTING,3 who was born the 18th of June, 1839, probably in Upper Milford Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, the son of Charl Bitting and Elizabeth Stahler. Joshua, a prosperous farmer, died following a stroke the 22nd of February, 1906, in Tippecanoe Township, Marshall County, Indiana. He was buried in the Summit Chapel Cemetery, beside his first wife. Lucinda moved to a small house in Bourbon. She died on Sunday, the 18th of June, 1933, in Plymouth, Marshall County, Indiana, hospital following an accident the night before. Lucinda had been downtown Bourbon on Saturday night with her shopping basket to get a few supplies. She visited on the sidewalk with her niece (and step-daughter), Ruby Sponseller, and husband Vern, then started across the street to walk home. There were cars going both ways on Main Street. Lucinda stepped in front of one of the cars and was thrown about three feet. The local doctor rushed her to the Plymouth hospital in an ambulance but she died early __________ 1 Joshua's wife, Mary Ellen Hamlin Bitting, had died in 1888. His eldest daughter, Bertha, had all the responsibility of the home for three years, before she had to give up her command to Lucinda; so Bertha moved to Goshen. Bertha, like her grandmother Hamlin, was a perfectionist and demanded much of her small sisters. They had an easier time under the rule of their Aunt Lucinda. 2 Marshall Co., Ind., Marriage Records, Book I, p. 70 3 See under Mary Ellen Hamlin, No. 352, p. 89. 125 on Sunday morning from her many injuries.1 Lucinda was buried in the Summit Chapel Cemetery, Tippecanoe Township, Marshall County, Indiana.

Clyde was adopted by his aunt, Rebecca Hamlin Hewitt, and her husband, Charles.2 While a young man Clyde left the Hewitt home and eventually became a resident in Joliet, Illinois, where at one time he worked in a shoe store. Clyde was a blessing to his natural mother in her old age. He, not only, helped her financially, but also, came to her Bourbon home to care for her when she was sick. Clyde was married to: _________ DAILY. They were the parents of one child: 2668 i. Elton Hewitt. He married and had at least two children.3 ___________ 1 Bourbon News-Mirror, Bourbon, Ind., June 22, 1933, p. 1. 2 Gossip indicated that Charles Hewitt could have been the father of Clyde. 3 Bourbon News-Mirror, Bourbon, Ind., June 23, 1938, p. 1.

Elma was buried in the Hamlin plot in Summit Chapel Cemetery, in Tippecanoe Township.1 __________ 1 Tombstone Inscription, Summit Chapel Cem, Marshall Co., Ind. 126 CHAPTER XI SUSANNAH, NANNE AND MOLLY HAMLIN AND FAMILIES 92 SUSANNAH HAMLIN5(Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born circa 1753, in Virginia, the daughter of Stephen Hamlin and his wife the former Mrs. Sarah Cryer. Susannah was married the 17th of August, 1771, in Sussex County, Virginia, to:1 JESSE HARGRAVE, probably the son of Samuel Hargrave. The Hargrave family were Quakers. In fact, Jesse was chosen overseer of Stanton's PM (particular or preparative meeting) in 1780. He died circa 1807, in Virginia.2 Susannah and Jesse were the parents of: 166 i. Hamlin Hargrave, b. 11 June, 1772, Va. 167 ii. Martha Hargrave, b. 14 Nov., 1774, Va. 168 iii. George Hargrave, b. 27 Dec., 1776, Va. 169 iv. Joseph Hargrave, b. 25 Apr., 1779, Va. 170 v.

David Hargrave In Quaker records items found stated that Hamlin Hargrave, a member of the Stanton's Preparative Meeting was disowned March 18, 1797, and Benjamin was disowned for non attendance and for overseeing slaves.3Then on August 15, 1812, George, Joseph, John, Jesse, and David, sons of Jesse Hargrave, members of Seacock PM, were reported that "the first four named had volunteered themselves in the military service and that David is in the practice of acting in a military capacity". They were disowned and David was ordered to "inform his Brethren who are in the Army". In a Quaker record of 1819, it was noted that Jesse Hargrave (No. 173) was a deputy sheriff of Sussex County, Virginia.4 93 NANCY HAMLIN5(Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born circa 1755, the daughter of Stephen Hamlin and wife, the former Mrs. Sarah Cryer. Nancy was called Nanne in her father's will. Since she was named in the will after Susannah and before Molly and the other children were named according to their age, it is assumed that Nancy was older than Molly. In a historical sketch of the Hamlin Family written by E. L. Sebrell of Limaville, Ohio, the 25th of August, 1894, Sebrell stated that Nancy never married. 94 MARY HAMLIN5(Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born the 10th of April, 1757, in Sussex County, Virginia, the daughter of Stephen Hamlin and wife, the former Mrs. Sarah Cryer. Mary was called Molly in her father's will. She was reared a Quaker and was baptized in Albemarle Parish (Episcopal Church )just before her wedding5 on the 22nd of August, 1777. She was married to: NICHOLAS JARRETT. The Jarrett's were also Quakers. In 1782, Nicholas refused to free his slaves as they belonged to his wife. In 1789 Nicholas was disowned by the Quakers for not freeing his slaves. Molly and Nicholas made their home in Sussex County, Virginia. They probably had a number of children. Nicholas died prior to 1810. __________ 1 Hinshaw, Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol. VI, pp. 107-108. 2 Sussex Co., Va., Will Book G, 1806-1812, p. 89; will proved July 2, 1807. 3 Same reference as footnote 1, but on p. 109. 4 Same reference as footnote 1, but on pp. 134 and 135. 5 Register of Albemarle Parish, p. 287. 127 CHAPTER XII CHARLES AND MARTHA HAMLIN FAMILY 95 CHARLES HAMLIN5(Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born, probably in the year of 1760,1 in Sussex County, Virginia, the son of Stephen Hamlin and Sarah (Poythress?) Cryer. Charles was willed land by his father and had slaves. He was a Quaker, and was asked by the members on the 19th of October, 1782, to free his slaves but he refused, saying he could not see that it was his duty at that time.2 However, he did emancipate his slaves in 1788: I, Charles Hamlin of Sussex County, Virginia, being fully persuaded that freedom is the natural right of all mankind and that it is my duty to do unto others as I should desire to be done by in the like situation, and having under my care three negros when I have here to fore held as slaves of the following names and ages: Solomon, aged twenty-four, Isaac, aged twenty-three.

Like some of the other members of the party, he located in Lexington Township, Stark County, Ohio, where he purchased 320 acres in Section 10. In 1809, Charles Hamlin and Jordan Jones returned to Virginia on business. On their way home to Stark County, Ohio, they stopped in Salem, Columbiana County, Ohio, at the home of Joseph Sebrell, where Charles became ill and died very suddenly, the 22nd of April, 1809.4 Below is the inventory of his saddle bags: An inventory from the artifacts found in the saddle bags of Charles Hamlin, examined the 30th of the fourth month, 1809 by Samuel Davis, Thomas Hall, Israel Gaskill, Nathan Ball and John Johnson.

Harriet and Shadrach were members of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Casco, They were remarried in March, 1873, for this article appeared in the local paper: --Upon the occasion of the re-marriage of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Hamlin of West Casco, which as we are informed was on the evening of March __, the young men of that township thought to give them a shivaree, which was accordingly done. Last Monday evening they repeated the operation, all being joyous during the proceedings. While returning to their homes, and when about forty rods from the house they stopped and loaded their guns heavily for a good night shot. The gun of Mr. Edwin Bell exploded in his hand, horribly mangling the left one so that immediate amputation at the wrist was necessary, the operation being performed by Dr. Albert Thompson as soon as the sufferer could be brought to the village about two o'clock that night, in the Atlantie Home. Mr. Bell is doing as well as could be expected. As the gun exploded in a crowd of twenty or more persons, it is a wonder that no further injury resulted therefrom.3 Shadrach and Harriet lived in West Casco community near South Haven, Michigan.

On the 9th of May, 1636, a patent for 150 acres of land in James City County was granted to William Rookings. The land, called "The Flying Point" was located on Upper Chippoecks Creek and on the James River. Fifty acres were granted for the personal adventure of William's wife, Jane Baxter, and 100 acres were granted for the transportation of Robert Risby and John Allen to Virginia.2 William died before August 20, 1647.3. He had married: JANE BAXTER. William and Jane were the parents of: 2 i. William Rookings II 3 ii. Daughter Rookings, married Capt. Nicholas Wyatt.4 2 WILLIAM ROOKINGS II2(William1) was the son of William Rookings and Jane Baxter. William was a Major and commander-in-chief of the Surry County Militia under Nathaniel Bacon in Bacon's Rebellion. The rebellion was a popular uprising caused by the failure of the Governor, Sir William Berkeley, to defend the frontier against Indian attacks. The revolt failed and Major William Rookings of "Flying Point" was arrested. While he was waiting for a court martial by the governor, William Rookings died. His death occurred sometime between 1676 and July 1679.5 William was married, and had three children: 4 i. William Rookings III 5 ii. Elizabeth Rookings 6 iii. Jane Rookings6 William's will included the following: To son William, my house and land. The rest of the estate to be divided among my three children, viz: Daughter, Elizabeth; son, William; daughter, Jane. If children die before they are of age, their third of the estate to return to the children of Capt. Nicholas Wyatt, and their heirs. A negro to cousin Mary Short's children. Son, William to be well educated and daughter a fitting education. Desires that William Badger, of Martin's Brandon, to be admitted to live at my plantation and look after negroes and Plantation. Desires that Capt. Nicholas Wyatt, or his wife, Francis and William Simmons, and John King be overseers of, and guardian of children. Will was probated July 1, 1679. (Book 2, Surry Co.

Francis was an agent of Lawrence Evans of London. Later Evans discharged Francis. In 1645 and 1647 Francis was a Burgess for Charles City County, Virginia. He was a man of considerable ability and energy; so he was placed in command of a force to march against the Indians in 1645. In 1649 Francis represented Northumberland in the House of Burgesses.1 Francis was granted 400 acres in the County of Charles City. The land was north of the land he already owned and was bounded on the east by Baylye's Creek. The land was given to Francis for the transportation of Richard Wells, Jane Lucas, Thos. Thompson, Richard Fermer, Bryan Raycock, Francis Hewes and Richard Whiting. The grant was dated July 13, 1637.2 Captain Francis was married and had children. According to tradition, a daughter married Thomas Rolfe, the son of Pocohontas. Captain Francis Poythress was the father of a son:3 i. Francis Poythress, II FRANCIS POYTHRESS2(Capt. Francis1) was a Justice for Charles City in 1677. Major Francis married: REBECCA___________, and had children. Two of the children were: i. John Poythress ii. Francis Poythress, III JOHN POYTHRESS3(Major Francis2,Capt. Francis1) the son of Major Francis Poythress became a Burgess for Charles City, Virginia, in 1723. John was married and had children. Two sons were: i. William Poythress, b. 1695. ii. Peter Poythress WILLIAM POYTHRESS4(John3,Major Francis3,Capt. Francis2), the son of John Poythress, was born in 1695. Col. William was a vestryman for Bristol Parish in 1726. He died the 18th of January, 1763. Col. William had married: SARAH EPPES. Sarah was the daughter of Col. Francis Eppes.

Was she the Sarah who married, first, Robert Cryer, and after his death became the wife of Stephen Hamlin? This question has been asked many times in the latter nineteenth century and the twentieth century. Hon. H. Franklin Andrews, when writing about the Hamlins in America gave Sarah Hamlin's name as Poythress. As he did not document where he found that name, it is not authentic. The Poythress name was spelled many ways in official records, including, Poythers and Porthess. Robert Poythress, a grandson of Captain Francis Poythress had one son and nine daughters. The son, Peter, had eight daughters. Hence family connections over Virginia were said to be descendants of the "nine Mis Poythress" or the "eight Mis Poythress".1 __________ 1 Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol VIII, p. 439. 159 THOMAS B. WOOD THOMAS B. WOOD was born in Sussex County, Virginia, the 7th of May, 1783. He had three brothers and two sisters. Thomas was a conscientious, honest and upright person. He disliked the slavery which was rampant in Virginia. In the spring of 1807 he joined several other families, mostly of the Quaker faith, who were moving to the vast wilderness of Ohio. At that time Ohio was inhabited by Indians. Thomas died the 1st of June, 1850, in Stark County, Ohio. He had married on the 3rd of February, 1803, in Sussex County, Virginia: CHERRY JONES. Cherry was born the 19th of February, 1783, in England. She emigrated to America, landing in New York, the 15th of April, 1796, at the age of thirteen. Cherry's parents became wealthy landowners and had many slaves. Cherry's mother died while Cherry was a teenager and Cherry's father remarried. The stepmother and Cherry did not get along well; so Cherry was disinherited. Then Thomas and Cherry decided to move to Ohio. They crossed the mountains with all their personal possessions and their bedding in a wheelbarrow. Since Cherry was quite ill on the trip, part of the time she rode in the wheelbarrow, too. At that time they had two children and another one was on the way. Thomas and Cherry spent a few months at Salem, Ohio, before settling in Lexington Township, in Stark County, Ohio. Cherry died the 22nd of September, 1855, in Lexington Township, Stark County, Ohio. Thomas and Cherry had ten children: 1. Polly Thomas Wood, b. 2 Feb., 1804, Sussex Co., Va. 2. Robert B.
