matter in reference to this Eleazer and his descendants
but I have not time to transcribe them.
I have several specimens of the handwriting of Eleazer,
son of Isaac, written at different periods of his life. This
is not conclusive evidence, but it enables me to trace the
wanderings of the man and his avocations. It is known by
tradition that the ancestor of the Maine Hamblens was a
near relative of Isaac, of Yarmouth, that he spoke frequently
of the children of Isaac, calling them his relatives.
There is another circumstance not of much weight, but in
the connection is deserving of notice. There is a most
striking family resemblance between the Hamblen's of
Maine and the Yarmouth family. One who was well acquainted
with the latter, though he had never seen the Vice-
President, would, if he should casually meet with him, be
strongly inclined to address him as Mr. Hamblen.
