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.

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.

STEPHEN HAMLIN AND DESCENDANTS
CHAPTER I
ORIGIN OF THE SURNAME HAMLIN
The origin of the surname of Hamlin appears to have begun in the lower Saxony area of Germany around
the town of Hamelin which was located at the confluence of the river Hamel with the river Wesser.1 The name
Hamlin is a compound of the Saxon word, Hame, which can be translated as "home" and lyn or lin, which
pertains to water, a torrent, waterfall or a pool.2
From Germany many residents of Hamelin emigrated to France, England and, perhaps, Norway well over
two or more centuries before the legend of the exodus in 1284 led by the Pied Piper of Hamelin.3 The name of
Hamelin De Balon appeared in the Roll in the church of Dives, Normandy, and the name Hameline in the Roll of
Battel Abbey, which commemorates the followers of William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
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.

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.

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.

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 the north side of the
Flower De Hundred Creeke bounded north on the land purchased by Mr. Pace, South upon the Flower De
Hundred Creek."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.

Stephen Hamelyn, 1400 acres, Charles City Co., 29 March 1666: Granted unto Mr. Stephen Hamelyn, dec'd.
lately found----- by inquisition dated 3 Nov., 1665 under the hand and seal Hundred Creeke of Mr. Henry
Randolph, by virtue of deputation from Col. Miles Cary, Escheator---and now granted---. Provid that the Widdow
& Relict of sd Stephen Hamelyn, Dec'd bee noe way prejudiced in her thirds and that shee enjoy the same in as
full & ample manner to all intents & purposes as any other widdow of his Maties (Majesties) naturall borne
subjects by the lawes of England or this country may or can enjoy the same as if the land had bin escheated.2
The date of the death of Stephen Hamlin, the immigrant, can be determined to be previous to 23rd of
August, 1665, for on that date administration of his estate was granted to Agnes Hamlin, his widow.3 Besides
being a land owner, Stephen represented Charles City County in the House of Burgesses in 1654 and in 1663.4
Also, Stephen was a Justice of the County Court of Charles City County in 1655.5 Stephen Hamlin was married
to: AGNES________. They were the parents of at least three children:

i.
Stephen Hamlin, Jr.

ii.
Charles Hamlin, died before December, 1687; his widow m. Isaac Williams.

Whether Abraham was a son of Stephen, Sr., or Stephen, Jr. is not known. 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.

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_______

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?

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.

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:

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

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 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.

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:
SARAH EPPES, daughter of Col. Francis Eppes and Sarah Hamblen.1 Robert
Hamblen was the father of Sarah Hamblen Eppes.

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:

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.

Charles Hamlin's widow, Susannah, had married Timothy Bridges before that date. (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.
17
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.

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.

Surry Co., Va., Deed Book 4 (1741-1746), pp. 138-9

Although the will is lost, the deeds make clear that Stephen had received the land through the will of his father,
Charles .

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.
19
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:

It is interesting to note that Sarah had been asked by the Quakers to free her slaves in 1782. It is recorded in
the Black Water Monthly Meeting, the 19th of October, 1782, that "Sarah, an elder, refused to free her slaves at
this time, 'saying she does not see it to be her duty at present'." (Hinshaw, Encyclopedia of American Quaker
Genealogy, Vol. VI, p. 107 under Hamlin.)
Both William and Charles had emancipated their slaves before Sarah did. Since the estate had not been
settled at the time that Sarah relinquished her slaves, another legal document ensued:
We the heirs and Legatus of Stephen Hamlin Deceased do for ourselves our Heirs & Relinquish all our Right Title, Interest Claim &

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Quaker Records show that Wm., Elizabeth, Susannah, William, Charles and Stephen Hamlin were released in

1807, which indicates that the birth date was probably 1806.

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:

Phillips. 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

The young man in question became a prominent lawyer. He married a
gracious woman and had a son and a daughter which they reared in a beautiful home. The son became a Federal
Judge. Winnie's father was mistaken when he decided that Winnie's friend was not good enough for her.

Warsaw Union, Warsaw, Ind., Aug. 10, 1931, p. 1. The compiler attended the funeral. Winnie and the
compiler's mother were second cousins and, also, close friends. 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. D.

old enough to file, they began a working partnership. Their claims joining, they built houses close together. In February, 1912, the
brother, John Issachar, filed on 320 acres of land adjoining his sisters and they continued working partnership, sharing in tools, etc., but

The Moody Baker family lived about two blocks northwest of downtown Columbia City. 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
100
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.

Ella's sons supported her for several years before her death.
This was before the days of social security for senior citizens.

Although the newspaper article about John William McWhorter stated he was the only child, another son may have
drowned around Labor Day, 1933. The Aults and Bess McWhorter were noon dinner guests of Claude and
Bertha Poor on September 26, 1933. The compiler vaguely recalls the Aults saying that they had come to Illinois
and Indiana because a nephew had drowned in a lake in northeastern Indiana. Of course, this nephew could have
been a son of Lawrence.

Marshall Co., Indiana,2 but, by 1800, she was living at North Manchester, Wabash County, Indiana.3 Later they
built a home at 612 S.Seventh Street, Goshen, Elkhart County, Indiana, where Becky died the 8th of August, 1920.

Episcopal Church of Goshen. He was a devout Methodist, spending Sunday afternoons preaching to inmates of the
Elkhart County jail. At home, he said Grace at every meal, while on Sunday morning, everyone around the table
knelt by their chairs for scripture and prayers. When Becky chastised him for something he did or failed to do,
Charlie would go to his room, kneel beside his bed and pray.1 After the death of Becky he gradually became senile.2
He knew that he needed someone to care for him; so he asked his niece Etta and husband to move in with him.3
Eventually, he was placed in a nursing home. He died the 22nd of March, 1929, and was buried beside Becky in the
Oak Ridge Cemetery, Goshen, Elkhart County, Indiana.4 Charles and Rebecca had no children of their own but had

books which he eventually placed in the Library of Congress. When Arvill resided in West Lafayette, Indiana,
while on the staff of Purdue, he built a beautiful home on Andrew Place by the Village. The woodwork was made of
lumber from walnut trees found on his father's farm. Later the home became the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority
house. Arvill died the 21st of April, 1946, in St. Elizabeth Hospital, Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana, where

mother, Lucinda moved into the Bitting household; so Bertha left home5 for Goshen, Indiana, where she resided
with her aunt and uncle, Rebecca and Charles Hewitt. In Goshen Bertha worked at the dressmaker trade making

The death of this infant and it's mother, probably resulted in the live birth of the compiler of this Hamlin
genealogy. In the case of Mabel, all labor pains ceased, and a few hours later the baby died and then the mother.
There was no doctor present for usually a neighbor or family member helped deliver a child. Exactly three
months later, Mabel's sister, Bertha, had the same situation in labor as Mabel. Bertha's husband, Claude, became
worried and drove his fastest horse the 4 1/2 miles to Warsaw, Indiana, to Dr. Shackleford's office. The doctor,
knowing that Bertha had lost two children at birth, picked up Dr. Burkett, and drove his automobile (one of the
first cars in Warsaw) as fast as he could on the sand and gravel country roads to the Poor home. With the aid of
the doctors, the baby was delivered and the mother lived.
PART 11 MALVINA HAMLIN
353 MALVINA HAMLIN7(Ben6,Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born the 19th of October,
1850, in Lexington Township, Stark County, Ohio, the 11th child of Benjamin Hamlin and Susannah Snyder.
Malvina dearly loved her baby sister, Elma, and took much of the care of her. The older members of the family
were cleaning the log cabin in preparation for the wedding of the eldest sister, Nancy. They had a bucket of scalding
water on the floor for scrubbing the plank floor. Malvina ran into the cabin and skidded, the baby Elma falling in
the bucket of hot water. Malvina scalded her arm while trying to rescue her sister. A few hours later after the baby
had died the family found Malvina behind the cabin soaking her arm in the rain barrel. Rain barrel water was
usually stagnant with leaves and mosquitoes in it. Malvina's arm became infected and she died 20 days later on the
26th of September, 1856, 1 at home in Tippecanoe Township, Marshall County, Indiana. She was buried in the
Summit Chapel Cemetery, Marshall County.

days old at time of death.
The story related above was retold every time the Hamlin great aunts and the Bitting aunts gathered at the Hamlin
plot at Summit Chapel Cemetery when the compiler was a child. Once asked why Malvina was not taken to the
doctor, the aunts said that the closest doctor at that time was over 25 miles away and the roads were poor and
unmarked.

PART 12 THE LUCINDA HAMLIN BITTING FAMILY
354 LUCINDA HAMLIN7(Ben6,Wm.5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2,Stephen1) was born the 8th of November,
1852, in Lexington Township, Stark County, Ohio, the daughter of Benjamin Hamlin and Susannah Snyder. When
Lucinda was seven her father died. She was the youngest living member of the Benjamin Hamlin family. 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
on Sunday morning from her many injuries.1 Lucinda was buried in the Summit Chapel Cemetery, Tippecanoe
Township, Marshall County, Indiana. She had had at least two children:
__________
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.

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.
133
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.

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. I hereby emancipate and set free all the
above named slaves and I do for myself, my heirs, executors and administrators, relinquish all my rights, titles, interests and claims or
pretentions of claims or to any estate they may here after acquire. Having also three negro children in their minority of the ages and names
following: Sylvia, aged fourteen years, Howard, eight years, Patience, aged two years, I also emancipate and set free, yet I believe it right
for me to reserve the perogative of setting as guardian over them until, the male survivors to the age of twenty one and the female to
eighteen. I do for myself, my heirs, executors, relinquish all my rights, titles, interests to any estates they may require after they shall have
attained to the ages above said, which will be at the following time: Sylvia on the finish day of 12th month 1791, Howard on the finish day
12th month 1800. Patience on finish day 12 month 1803, and want them to enjoy their full freedom without interruption from me or any
person claiming for by from or under me. In witness where of I have set my hand and seal this fourteenth day of the twelth month in the
year of our Lord One Thousand seven-Hundred eight seven

134
Charles and his son Stephen, members of the Stanton's meetings were disowned the 19th of September, 1804, for
taking oaths and attending muster and enlisting in service. Less than three years later, Charles and his five children
joined the group that moved from Sussex County, Virginia, on April 22, 1807, arriving in Salem, Columbiana
County, Ohio, in June. 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

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

Martha moved to Ganges Township, Allegan County, Michigan, circa 1859. John evidently moved several times as
his children were born in three different states. Martha was not his first wife. Of the children listed in 1860
Census, only Edwin was Martha's child:
i.
Maud Jennings, b. ca. 1846, N. York
ii.

Martha probably had more children as an article in the South Haven Sentinel, South Haven, Michigan, on July 7,
1888, stated:
--Mrs. V.V. Carter of 773 West Lake Street, Chicago, accompanied by her young son, Jimmy, arrived here the morning of the 4th, and has
been the guests of the families of her cousin, Mrs Seymour Cooley near Lacota, and her uncle, Chas O. Hamlin at Glenn. Mrs. Carter

411 CAROLINE FRANCES HAMLIN7(Stephen6,Charles5,Stephen4,Charles3,Stephen2, Stephen1) was born
the 29th of July, 1833, in Stark County, Ohio, the daughter of Stephen Hamlin and Elizabeth Felts. Caroline did
much research on the origin of the Hamlin Family, traveling in the United States and in England for that purpose. In
the late 1800's much of the material on genealogy was not as available as it is today; so some of the material that she
obtained was inaccurate. Caroline died in the early 1900's. She was married the 7th of August, 1853, in Stark
County, Ohio, to: (Book C, p. 66) MARCUS M. SPIEGEL. Marcus was an itinerant peddler. He did so well as a
peddler that he and his brother, Moses, founded the mail order house,
The Spiegel Company of Chicago. Marcus had the military title of Colonel. Caroline and Marcus lived in Chicago.
They were the parents of five children. Two of the children were:2

County. After Shadrach and Mary were married, the only product they had for exchange was sugar made from the

According to Perrin's History of Stark Co., O., p.753, Jesse:
went with an emigrating party to California, and has been there and engaged on the frontier as a freighter for over thirty years, at times
being years without correspondence with his parents, many of his friends believing he was dead. But Time itself could not shake that
maternal faith and desire of Mrs. Felts to see her son once more; in which she was gratified on a December evening of 1880, when to her,
her long-lost boy walked in, not exactly like the youth of twenty-odd summers who left her in 1850, but a man of middle age, of venerable
look and whitened locks. As it were, he providentially arrived a few weeks before the demise of his father----

NOTE:
Birth and death dates in Chapter XII may not be correct for three reasons: 1. It is difficult to tell 6 from 8 and 3
from 5 on weather worn tombstones; 2. A date like 5/3/87 could be read either May 3, 1887, or April 5, 1887; and
3. Dates may have been copied incorrectly.

POYTHRESS FAMILY
Captain FRANCIS POYTHRESS arrived in Virginia about 1633. 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

SARAH POYTHRESS5(William4,John3,Francis2,Francis1), the daughter of William Poythress and Sarah Eppes,
was born the 7th of August, 1731. 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

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:
