Note on Husband: John * HAMBLEN
The following is copied from Genealogical Notes of Barnstable Families, being a Reprint of the AMOS OTIS PAPERS, originally published in The Barnstable Patriot, Revised and Completed by C. F. Swift, Largely from Notes Made by the Author. Volume II; Barnstable, Mass.; F.B. & F.P. Goss, Publishers and Printers, [The "Patriot" Press.] 1890.
Pages 525 & 526 of this source is as follows:
John Hamblen, son of James, resided at Hamblen's Plain, West Barnstable. He was a farmer. His wife Sarah Bearse was an early member of the Church, he did not join till late in life. The will of his son John, who died unmarried in 1734, furnishes many particulars respecting this family. John Hamblin, son of James, married Aug. 1667, Sarah, daughter of Austin Bearse. His children born in Barnstable, were:
33. I. Melatiah, 1st July, 1668. She was living in 1734, and it appears was then unmarried.34. II. Priscilla, 30th April, 1670. She married, had deceased in 1734, but had two surviving children.35. III. Sarah, 1st July, 1671. She married, was living in 1734, when she had three children.36. IV. Martha, 16th Feb. 1672-3, married 30th Dec. 1696, Samuel Doane, was living in 1734, and then had four children.37. V. Experience, 16th April, 1674. She married 20th Feb. 1695, Jabez Lewis. Her brother John says she had five children living in 1734, which is probably accurate, though the records name only four. She removed to West Yarmouth, and the Lewis families in that vicinity are he descendants. She died July 26, 1766, aged 92 years and three months.38. VI. Hannah, 16th Feb. 1675-6, married Sept. 9, 1714, John King of Harwich, and her brother John says had six children in 1734. She was his fourth wife as I have it noted on the record, certainly his third. He had a numerous family.39. VII. Esther, 17th March, 1677, married 6th March, 1705, her cousin Jonathan, and had seven children living in 1734. [See Jonathan.]40. VIII. Thankful, Oct. 1679, died Oct. 1683.41. IX. John, 10th March 1680-1. He died unmarried in 1734. His will dated April 10, 1734, proved July 3, is one of those from which the genealogist reaps a goodly harvest of facts. He was a wealthy man, left a large estate and much due him on land and mortgage. He gives legacies to all his brothers and sisters, and to his numerous nephews and neices, and did not forget his church and the pastor thereof. He resided in the dwelling house which was his father's at Hamblen's Plain, owned equally by himself and his brother Benjamin.42. X. Ebenezer, 12th May, 1683. (See below.)43. XI. Abigail, 25th April, 1685. She married 13th April, 1711, her cousin Elkanah. She died 29th May, 1733. (See Elkanah.)44. XII. Benjamin, 11th Feb. 1686. (See below.) John Hamblin, Sen., died in 1718, aged 73 years. His wife Sarah died previously. In his will dated Jan. 3, 1714, proved March 8, 1717-18, he gives to his son John one-half of his tenement at Indian Pond, one-half of his dwelling house and barn and one-half of his lands, and to his son Benjamin the other half, and to his son Ebenezer his tenement at Cooper's Pond, and the lands adjacent. It appears that he had a large landed estate, and that he owned three houses or tenements. That at the Indian Pond he did not occupy himself. The dwelling house which he occupied was farther north on the "Plain." He personal estate was apprised at 168,0,8 pounds. He names his nine daughters and three sons. As his daughter Thankful died in 1683, it seems that he had another younger than Benjamin not named on the record.
