526 GENEALOGICAL NOTES OF BARNSTABLE FAMILIES.
dren living in 1734, which is probably accurate, though the
records name only four. She removed to West Yarmouth, and
the Lewfs families in that vicinity are her 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." His personal estate was apprised at
£168,0,8. 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.
7. Eleazer Hamblin, son of James, was a soldier in Capt.
John Gorham's company in King Philip's war, and an original proprietor
of the town of Gorham, in Maine. I have not carefully
examined his record, and know but little of his history. His
wife was an early member of the church, and he joined in 1686. I
think he resided at Hamblen's Plain. The Eleazer Hamblins patronized
the lawyers more than all others of the name ; but I may be
