doing injustice in making the remark in connection with the elder

50. VI. Ichabod, bap. 30th May, 1687.
The two last probably died young aud therefore their names do
not appear on the town record.
(8.) Israel Hamblin, the son of James, was born the 25th of
June, 1652. It appears by the church records that he married
twice. His first wife was Abigail, who died about the year 1700,
and his second wife was named Jemima. He resided in the east
parish. His house stood by a pond yet known as Israel's pond on
Dimmock's lane, about a mile and a half south of the County road.
His nearest neighbor was more than half a mile distant. He cleared
away only a small space in the forest, now again covered with trees.
I am not informed respecting his occupation. He lived in a solitary
spot, and farming could not have been his principal occupation. He
is called Mr. on the records, which shows that he was a man of some
note.
Children of Israel Hamblen by his firit wife Abigail, who was
perhaps a daughter of Joshua Lumbard.
51. I. A child, 1687, died 1687.
52. II. Thankful, 24th Aug., 1689, married May 11, 1710, her
cousin Ebenezer Hamblin, son of John. She joined the church
Oct. 1713, and was living at the death of her husband in 1736.
The history of her family which will be given proves that it is
not well for so near relatives to marry each other.
53. III. Prudence, 24th Aug., 1689. She married in 1727,
Joseph Gates, of Preston.
54. IV. Israel, 15th March, 1694, married 29th May, 1715,
Dorcas Godfrey of Yarmouth, and Jan. 17, 1738-9, Bathsheba
Baker. His name appears on the Yarmouth records, and he
had by wife Dorcas, Israel, born Feb. 13, 1725, and by Bathsheba,
Thankful, Dec. 29, 1739, and Israel, June 4, 1741, all
born in Yarmouth.
55. V. Joseph. Respecting this Joseph I have no information.
He was called second to distinguish him from the other two of
the same name.
56. VI. Jemima, 15th Aug., 1699.
By his second wife Jemima.
