528 GENEALOGICAL NOTES OF BAKN8TABLE FAMILIES.
57. VII. Jacob, 28th May, 1702, married Content Hamblen
Aug. 18, 1731. He and his wife were dismissed from the
East Church to the Church in Gorhara, Maine, Oct. 28, 1750,
to which town they had previously removed. He was one of
Ihe first settlers, and he and his family were in the garrison in
1746, and remained there during the Indian war. I do not
find a record of his family. He had sons Joseph and Daniel,
and has descendants.
58. VIII. Ann, 10th April, 1706. She was admitted to the East
Church 1728. She married a Mr. Tilson in 1750, and removed
to Middleboro.
(11.) Eleazer Hamblen,* son of James, 2d, born April 12,
1668, removed to Harwich. His wife was named Lydia, of Yarmouth.
I think she was a Sears. Respecting the time of his death,
I have no certain evidence. I am inclined to the opinion that he
died soon after the birth of his son Elisha, and that the Lydia Hamblen
who married Sept. 30, 17u6, Thomas Snow, was his widow.
Ih March, 1726, as appears by the school returns, there was no
family of the name of Hamblen in Harwich. The Eleazer Hamblen
who married Sarah Sears in 1718 was probably another man, the
son of Isaac of Barnstable.
Children of Eleazer Hamblen born in Harwich :
59. I. Elisha, Jan. 26, 1697-8, married Elizabeth Mayo, of
Eastham, and had Elijah, March 22, 1722-3, and perhaps
others.
(13.) James Hamblen, son of James, 2d, born 26th Aug.,
1669, married Oct. 8, 1690, Ruth Lewis. He united with the
West Church March 10, 1727-8, and his wife June 23, 1729.
Children horn in Barnstable.

*Following in the track of so eminent and careful a ^nealogist as the late Mr. David
Hamblen, I did not expect that the labor of writing the Hamblen genealogy would be an
arduous task. I have full abstracts from the town, church and probate records, and other
original papers, yet many questions arise which I cannot satisfactorily resolve. There were
three Eleazers who were cotemporaries, and four Ebenezers. To keep their families distinct,
requires more labor than I have now time to devote to it. If I find leisure for the
investigation, I will append a note at the close of this article giving the result of further
examination. If any of the family, or others, can assist me, I will thank them to write me.
