Gershom, July 19, 1713, married Aug. 9, 1739, by Mr. Green to Hannah "Almony," a name I have not met with before, perhaps Almy. His children born in Barnstable were Martha, May 11, 1740; Enoch, Jan 23, 1742-3; Gershom, Sept. 16, 1745 ; George, Feb. 3, 1749. 104. III. Thankful, 6th Aug. 1715, married Joseph Bangs, of Harwich, Sept. 18, 1735. 105. IV. Nathan, 29th June, 1717, deaf mute. He was living at the death of his father, 1736. 106. V. Ebenezer, 26th Nov. 1719. He joined the East Church when 17 years of age. He married Joanna Hamblen Dec. 3, 1755,* and had Joanna baptized April 17, 1757, Ebenezer, Dec. 14, 1760. He was chosen a deacon of the East Church July 3, 1766. His wife died May, 1790, in the 70th year of her age. 107. VI. A daughter, stiU born, Sept. 1720. 108. VII. Samuel, 7th Jan. 1722, deaf mute. A Samuel Hamblen, Jr., perhaps deaf and dumb Samuel, married Nov. 16, 1749, Joanna Bumpas, and had Rebecca, Sept. 13, 1750. This Samuel died early. Another Samuel married Dec. 13, 1750, Temperance Lewis. She joined the East Church April 4, 1756, and had Elijah baptized Nov. 28^ 1756; Temperance, April 18, 1762; and Seth, March 10, 1765. I give my minutes without spending much time to investigate. The records are deficient in regard to several familiesof the name of Hamblin, and want of time compels me to leave it to some future investigator to supply de- flciences. 109. VIII. Dorcas, 5th June, 1727, deaf mute. 110. IX. Timothy, 3d Sept. 1728. 111. X. Elizabeth, 20th Nov. 1730. 112. XI.

Both joined the Church July 19, 1714. He resided at West Barnstable in a two story house with a leanto (or salt-box, as sometimes called.) He died in 1718, and his widow married in 1719, Ebenezer Childs. His estate was settled April 6, 1724, and Joseph Hambleti was appointed guardian of the children. His personal estate was apprised at £230,16,9. *As there was no Joanna Hamblen born about the year 1720, 1 hazard the opinion that her maiden name was Bumpas, and that she was the widow of Samuel Hamblen, Jr.

The latter married Sarah Sears, of Harwich, to which town he removed, and at first is called a yeoman, afterwards a trader.

This Eleazer was a prominent man in his day, an oflScer in the Revolutionary army, and otherwise distinguished. He married first Lydia Bonney, and had a very large family.
