memory of wonderful power easily retained the fruit of a long, arduous and studious life. Bowdoin, Dartmouth, Brown and Harvard all conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws. In the proceedings of the supreme court of the United States as well as in the circuit courts of the county, held to honor his memory, bench and bar united in conceding to the venerable magistrate the character of a great, wise and just judge."

(VIII) William Henry, third son of Judge Nathan and Hannah (Ayer) Clifford, was born in Newfield, Maine, August 11, 1838. After leaving the public schools he fitted for college at Portland Academy and at Profes- sor Woods's school at Yarmouth. After spending four years in Dartmouth College he graduated there in 1858. Soon afterward he began the study of law in the office of Shepley & Dane, of Portland, and completed the course in the office of Benjamin R. Curtis, in Boston. He was admitted to practice in the courts of Massachusetts in 1863; in Maine and in the United States circuit court in 1864; and in the United States supreme court in 1867. After his admission to the bar he opened an office in Portland, where he practiced his profession up to the time of his death, September 18, 1901.

sions in the New England circuit. From young manhood he was interested in the politi- cal contests in Maine, on the Democratic side, and from the time of the civil war was quite prominent as a leader in campaigns. Twice he was nominated as Democratic candidate for congress in the First Congressional District- once against John H. Burleigh, and the second time as the opponent of Thomas B. Reed, and won credit and respect by both his abilities and powers as a political speaker, and by the vigor and energy of his campaigns. He was a mem- ber of the Democratic national committee, and presided over a number of state conventions of the party. In 1896 he was candidate for governor of Maine on the ticket of the Gold Democrats. He was fond of literature; was a member of the Maine Historical Society, and was author of several pamphlets on literary, political and other subjects. His degree of Master of Arts was conferred by Bishops Col- lege, Lenoxville, Province of Quebec. He was a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and for some time served as vestry- man in St. Luke's Cathedral. He was a mem- ber of the Cumberland Club of Portland, and the Union Club of Boston. He was affiliated with various Masonic bodies, including the Commandery ; and with the orders of Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. It has been written of him: "He was a man of scholarly tastes and broad culture ; always a student, his reading was both extensive and exhaustive. He was an authority on many literary and his- torical subjects, and the addresses which he delivered from time to time on such subjects bore evidence of his natural ability and wide learning."
Mr. Clifford married, August 8, 1866, Ellen Greeley Brown, born in Portland, May 30, 1841, died there May 9, 1904, daughter of John B. and Ann M. (Greeley) Brown, of Portland. Children: 1. Nathan ; see forward. 2. Matilda Greeley, born July 20, 1869; mar- ried James W. Jamieson, November 15, 1904. 3. William Henry, July 28, 1875; see forward. 4. Philip Greeley, born September 1I, 1882; see forward. Children of William H. Clifford, who died young, were John B. and Ellen Ayer.
(IX) Hon. Nathan (2), eldest child of Hon. William H. and Ellen G. ( Brown) Clifford, was born in Portland, June 17, 1867. He at- tended the public schools of Portland, Phillips Andover Academy, and the Portland high school, graduating from the latter in 1886. In the fall of the same year he entered Harvard University, from which he graduated with
high honors in June, 1890. Immediately after graduation he entered upon the study of law in the office of his father in Portland and was admitted to the bar three years later, in May, 1893, and became a member of the firm of Clifford, Verrill & Clifford, the present firm. The marks of heredity are discernible in Mr. Clifford, and he displays much of the ability that distinguished his progenitors. As a law- yer he ranks high, and in the Democratic party, of which he is an honored member, he is regarded as a wise counselor and successful leader. His interest in politics began at an early age, and his activity in party matters be- gan immediately after his graduation from college. He has filled various offices in the party and in the municipality. In 1895 he was made chairman of the Democratic city committee. In 1905 he was elected mayor of Portland, and was re-elected the next year. His election to succeed himself in this office was the first instance in the history of the city where a Democrat was his own immediate suc- cessor. His administration of municipal busi- ness gave great satisfaction, but when he was made candidate for a third term, in 1907, he was defeated by Adam P. Leighton. Mr. Clif- ford is a member of tht Maine Historical So- ciety; the Maine Geological Society; vice- president of the Harvard Club in Maine, and the New England Federation of Harvard Clubs ; director of the Harvard Alumni Asso- ciation ; and member of the Cumberland Club, and various other bodies. Mr. Clifford mar- ried, in Boston, May 5, 1897, Caroline L. Devens, born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, April 6, 1872, daughter of Captain Edward Fesser and Abbie Maria (Fairbanks) Devens; her father was an officer in the United States navy. Children of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford : Katharine Louisa, born 1898; Nathan Jr., 1900; William Henry, 1904.
(IX) Captain William Henry, son of Hon. William H. and Ellen G. (Brown) Clifford, was born in Portland, July 28, 1875. He was educated in public schools of Portland, Chaun- cey Hall school, Boston, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He read law in the office of Clifford, Verrill & Clifford at Port- land. At the outbreak of the Spanish-Ameri- can war, he organized the naval reserve of Maine and was elected junior lieutenant ; the reserves were ordered to the monitor "Mon- tauk" and stationed in Portland harbor during the summer of 1898. At the close of the war Mr. Clifford went to Annapolis, Maryland, and after studying for a few months passed the examination for first lieutenant of United

States Marine Corps, and served for three years in the Philippines. He commanded the guard at the St. Louis exposition and the lega- tion guard at Pekin, China, in the winter of 1907. He has attained the rank of captain and is now serving in the Philippines. He is a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, holding various important offices in that or- der. He married, October 12, 1907, Mabel Moore, daughter of George M. Moore, of Lon- lon. They have one son.
(IX) Philip Greely, son of Hon. William H. and Ellen G. ( Brown) Clifford, was born in Portland, September 1I, 1882. He at- tended the public schools and prepared for col- lege by studying under private tutors ; in 1899 he entered Bowdoin College, graduating therefrom in 1903. He then took up the study of law at Harvard College, and also read law in the office of his brother, Hon. Nathan Clif- ford. He was admitted to the bar in 1906, and at once established himself in practice. He is a member of the Cumberland Club, Portland Country Club, Portland Yacht Club, and the following college fraternities: Psi Upsilon, Phi Beta Kappa and the Crown and Coffin. Mr. Clifford married, October 1I, 1905, Katharine Hale, daughter of Judge Clarence and Margaret ( Rollins) Hale, the former named being judge of the United States Dis- trict Court (see Hale family). Mr. and Mrs. Clifford have one child, Margaret Ellen Clif- ford.
HAMLIN It is supposed that the name of Hamlin is originally of Ger- manic origin, perhaps derived from the town of Hamlin in Lower Saxony situated at the junction of the river of Hamel with the Weiser. The name Hamelin is still common in France, whence some have emi- grated to this country and to Quebec, where they have become numerous. In England this name was formerly spelled Hamblen, Hamelyn, Hamelin and Hamlyn. As the name is found in the "Roll of Battle Abbey" it is undoubtedly of French origin, and was brought into Eng- land by a follower of the Norman conqueror. Burke's Encyclopedia of Heraldry describes several coats-of-arms belonging to the Hamb- lens and Hamlyns. Representatives of the distinguished American family of this name participated in the war for national independ- ence and the civil war. It has produced a goodly number of able men including clergy- men, lawyers, physicians and statesmen, and its most distinguished representative of mod-
ern times was the Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, vice-president of the United States during Abraham Lincoln's administration, for many years a member of the national senate from Maine and afterwards minister to Spain. A numerous progeny sprung from Captain Giles Hamlin, who immigrated to Middletown, Con- necticut, in 1650. It is supposed that James and Giles were brothers, but their relation- ship, like the connection between Sire de Balon and Hamelinus, was never determined. At the time Giles came to this country, Lewis Hamelin of France settled in Canada and es- tablished the Hamlin family of that part of the continent.
The English ancestor of the Hamlins of New England appears to be John Hamelyn, of Cornwall, living in 1570, and who married Amor, daughter of Robert Knowle, of Sarum. This couple had a son and heir who lived in Devonshire by the name of Giles. Giles Hamelin or Hamelyn married a daughter of Robert Ashley and had two sons : Thomas, Gentleman, London, 1623, and James. James is the ancestor of the larger part of the Ham- lin race in this Republic. He made a voyage to Cape Cod unaccompanied by his family, and there made a home for them at Barnstable. He then returned to England, and in 1639 brought back his wife and several children. (I) James, son of Giles and - ( Ash- ley) Hamelin, lived, and his children were baptized in the church in the parish of St. Lawrence, Reading, Berkshire, England, be- tween 1630 and 1636. These children were : I. James, baptized October 31, 1630, died be- fore April, 1636. 2. Sarah, baptized Septem- ber 6, 1632. 3. Mary, baptized July 27, 1634. 4. James, baptized April 10, 1636. The first record of his children born in America is: Bartholomew, born in Barnstable, Plymouth Colony, April 1I, 1642. A child, Hannah, was probably born in England between 1636 and 1642, but no record of her birth appears either in England or New England. James Ham- lene appears among the list of freemen in Barnstable in 1643 and James Hamhlen Jun- ior, and James Hamhlen Senior, on list of freemen May 29, 1670. He made his will January 23, 1683, and Governor Hinckley and Jonathan Russell witnessed the signing and sealing of the will. In this will he names his wife as Anne, but no other record of her name has been found. The children of James and Anne Hamlin not certainly born in England are : 6. Hannah. 7. Bartholomew. 8. John, born June 26, 1644. 9. A child, stillborn and

buried December 2, 1646. 10. Sarah, born November 7, 1647 .. 11. Eleazer, March 17, 1649. 12. Israel, June 25, 1652.
(11) James (2), second son and fourth child of James ( I) and Anne Hamlin, was born in England and baptized April 10, 1636, at St. Lawrence Parish, Reading, Berkshire. He came to Plymouth Colony, New England, with his mother and sisters prior to 1642, and was married at Barnstable in that colony to Mary, daughter of John and Mary Dunham, November 20, 1662. He was a farmer and lived on the Coggin's Pond lot owned by his father up to 1702, when he removed to Hamb- lin Plains in West Berkshire. In his will, made in 1717, he claims to be a resident of Tisbury, but he is recorded as a representa- tive at a great and general court or assembly for her Majesties Province of Massachusetts Bay in New England held in Boston, Wednes- day, May 13, 1705, as Mr. James Hamlin, Barnstable. His wife, Mary, died April 19, 1715, in the seventy-third year of her age, and James Hamlin died in Tisbury, May 3, 1718. Their children were fourteen in num- ber, as follows, all born in Barnstable: I. Mary, July 24, 1664. 2. Elizabeth, February 14, 1665-66. 3. Eleazer (q. v.), April 12, 1668. 4. Experience, April 12, 1668. 5. James, August 26, 1669. 6. Jonathan, March 6, 1670-71. 7. A son, March 28, 1672, died April 7, 1672. 8. Ebenezer, July 29, 1674. 9. Elisha, March 5, 1676-77, died December 20, 1677. 10. Hope, March 13, 1679-80. II. Job, January 15, 1681. 12. John, January 12, 1683. 13. Benjamin, baptized March 16, 1684-85. 14. Elkanah, baptized March 16, 1685.
(III) Eleazer, eldest son and third child of James and Mary (Dunham) Hamlin, was born in Barnstable, Plymouth Colony, April 12, 1668. He married Lydia, daughter of Paul and Deborah (Willard) Sares or Sears, and they lived in Horwich or Yarmouth. His father in his will made in 1717 mentions "my four grandchildren, the children of my son Eleazer Hamlin, deceased." He died in Yar- mouth in 1698, and his widow married, Sep- tember 30, 1706, Thomas Snow, of Harwich. The children of Eleazer and Lydia (Sears) Hamlin were: I. Benjamin (q. v.), born in 1692. 2. A son, 1694. 3. Mary, 1696. 4. Elisha, January 26, 1697-98.
(IV) Benjamin, eldest child of Eleazer and Lydia (Sears) Hamlin, was born in 1692. He married, October 25, 1716, Anne, daughter of Samuel Mayo and great-granddaughter of Rev. John Mayo, who was in Barnstable in 1639, the marriage ceremony being performed
by John Doane, Esq., of Eastham, and the marriage recorded in Orleans. The eight children of Benjamin and Anne ( Mayo) Ham- lin were: I. Cornelius, born 1719. 2. Joshua, about 1721. 3. Benjamin, baptized July 2, 1727. 4. Lydia, about 1724. 5. Isaac, about 1728. 6. Mary. 7. Eleazer (q. v.), about 1732. 8. Elizabeth. Benjamin Hamlin was a mariner engaged in the whale fishing; was instantly killed while engaged in assisting in the capture of a whale early in July, 1737, and September 7, 1738, his widow married William Graham, of Boston.
(V) Major Eleazer (2), youngest son and seventh child of Benjamin and Anne (Mayo) Hamlin, was born in Billinggate, Plymouth Colony, about July, 1732. He was married (first) in East Parish, Bridgewater, Massa- chusetts, June 30, 1750, by the Rev. John Augier, to Lydia Bonney, of Pembroke. She died August 12, 1769, and he married (sec- ond) Mrs. Sarah (Lobdell) Bryant, a widow with two children, George and William Bry- ant. Eleazer Hamlin was baptized in Second Church at Pembroke, February 6, 1762. His five eldest children had been baptized prior to that date "on account of his wife." He was a grantee in fifteen deeds of land in Pembroke and Bridgewater, from 1759 to 1774, and about April, 1776, removed to Harvard, Middlesex county, and on the Lexington alarm, April 19, 1775, he was second lieutenant in Captain James Hatch's company and marched from West Parish, Pembroke, to Scituate and Marshfield. In list of officers in General Thomas' regiment, commissioned May 19, 1775, he held the rank of captain, and January 1, 1776, he was captain in the Twenty- third Continental Infantry. He was in the army at Peekskill, New York, December 27, 1776. Tradition in the family gave it that be- cause of his large family at home he was re- tired with the rank of brevet major and that General Washington on bidding him farewell gave him $200 in Continental money. Four of his sons: Africa, Europe, America and Eleazer, and a son-in-law, Major Seth Phil- lips, served in the revolutionary army. After the war the general court of Massachusetts gave him a grant of land in Maine in consid- eration of the services of his family in the revolution, and the trust is known as "Ham- lin's Grant" to this day. The land proving un- productive, his sons were allowed to select farms and settlements in Oxford county, af- terwards called Waterford, Maine. He was a great reader and particularly fond of his- tory and biography and he helped to found

and was a stockholder in the first public li- brary established at Westford, Middlesex county, Massachusetts, in 1796. He was a member of the committee of correspondence and safety in 1779; was a licensed inn-holder 1780-85; was a delegate at Concord, Octo- ber, 1779; selectman, 1782; delegate to con- vention at Lunenburg, May 19, 1785. He died December 1, 1867, aged seventy-five years and five months, and was buried in the east burying ground, Westford, where his sec- ond wife, Mrs. Sarah Hamlin, who died No- vember 15, 1788, in the forty-fifth year of her age, was buried. The eleven children of Ma- jor Eleazer and Lydia ( Bonney) Hamlin, all born in Pembroke, Plymouth Colony, were : I. Asia, born March 9, 1753, baptized Octo- ber 16, 1757, died at the age of seventeen years. 2. Elizabeth, born October 27, 1754, baptized October 16, 1757. 3.

(For Hannibal and de- scendants see forward. )
(VI) Dr. Cyrus, sixth son and tenth child of Major Eleazer and Lydia (Bonney) Hamlin, was born in Pembroke, Plymouth Colony, July 21, 1769. He removed with the family to Harvard, Middlesex county, Massachusetts, in 1776, where he taught school, pursued an academic course of study preparatory to study- ing medicine, and practiced medicine in con- nection with teaching school up to the time of his death. In 1795 he was invited by the early settlers of Livermore, Oxford county, Maine, through a committee made up of Syl- vanus Boardman, Ransom Norton, William Hood and Isaac Livermore, to settle in that place, at the time destitute of a physician, and he removed there the same year and at once
secured a large practice and a most estimable wife. He married December 4, 1797, Anna, daughter and sixth child of Deacon Elijah Livermore, granddaughter of Deacon Elijah Livermore, of Waltham, Massachusetts, and presumably a descendant from John Liver- more, the immigrant, who came from Ipswich, England, to New England in the ship "Fran- cis," Captain John Cutting, master, in April, 1634, with his wife, Grace, and settled in Watertown as early as 1642, and they had nine children. Dr. Cyrus Hamlin was town clerk and treasurer of Livermore township, moderator of the town meeting and repre- sentative from Livermore in the general court of Massachusetts, 1803. He purchased in 1804 from General Leonard a farm known as Paris Hill, in the center of the township, for which he paid four hundred dollars. He built there- on a large two-story house in 1807 and beau- tified the place by planting rows of elm trees along the street. When the county of Oxford was organized in 1804, he was appointed the first clerk of the court of common pleas and held the office for many years. The court was held in the Baptist church on Paris Hill and the judge, Hon. Simeon Frye, stopped at Dr. Hamlin's house. Dr. Hamlin was subsequently high sheriff of Oxford county. Dr. Hamlin is described as a man of dark, swarthy complex- ion, with blue eyes and weighed nearly three hundred pounds. He was a founder and orig- He died suddenly at his home in Paris Hill, February 2, 1829, and at the time six of their eight children were living, the youngest boy fifteen years old. His death left a great re- sponsibility on the widow, as well as on the two older sons, and she continued to live at Paris Hill with two maiden daughters up to the time of her death, which occurred August 25, 1852. The first five of the eight children of Dr. Cyrus and Anna (Livermore) Ham- lin were born in Livermore and the others in Paris, Maine. They were, in the order of their birth: I. Elijah Livermore, December 30, 1798, died April 6, 1799. 2. Elijah Liver- more, March 29, 1800. 3. Cyrus, July 16, 1802. 4. Eliza, April 4, 1804. 5. Anna, July 14, 1805. 6. Vesta, June 6, 1808. 7. Hanni- bal (q. v.). 8. Hannah Livermore, October 10, 1814.
(VII) Hannibal, son of Dr. Cyrus and Anna (Livermore) Hamlin, was born in Paris Hill, Maine, August 27, 1809. He attended Hebron Academy preparatory to entering college, but the death of his father in 1829 forced him to devote himself to the care of the farm and to teaching school in the winter season in or-

der to furnish for the maintenance of his mother and sisters. While engaged in farm- ing and teaching he found little time to study law. He published the Jeffersonian, a local Democratic paper, in partnership with Hora- tio King, but at the end of a year he sold his interest in the venture to his partner and took up the study of law in the office of General Samuel Fessenden in Portland and he settled in the practice of law in Hampden, Penobscot county, in 1833. In 1835 he en- tered the arena of politics as the Democratic candidate for representative in the Maine legis- lature, and he was elected and continued in office 1835-40, and for three terms, 1838-39-40, he was a speaker of the house, although but twenty-nine years of age when first elected speaker. In the fall of 1840 he was the un- successful Democratic candidate for repre- sentative in the twenty-seventh United States congress, but he was the successful candidate in 1842 and 1844, serving in the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth congresses, 1843-47. In con- gress he opposed the extension of slavery in his maiden speech, opposed the annexation of Texas, denounced the practice of duelling, and was the candidate of the anti-slavery Demo- crats for speaker. The Maine legislature in 1846, after balloting six weeks, defeated him for United States senator by one vote, he being the candidate of the anti-slavery Democrats. In 1847 he was sent as a representative to the Maine legislature, and in May, 1848, when a vacancy occurred in the United States senate by the death of Senator John Fairfield, of Maine, as filled temporarily by W. B. S. Moore, appointed by Governor Dana, Mr. Hamlin was elected by a majority of one vote to fill the vacancy, and in 1850 was re-elected after a contest in the legislative caucus for three months, for a full terms of six years. When Buchanan became the Democratic can- didate for president of the United States in 1856, he left the party, assisted in the forma- tion of the Republican party in Maine, ac- cepted the Republican nomination for govern- or of Maine and was elected by 25,000 plu- rality. Thereupon he resigned his seat in the United States senate, February 6, 1857, and was inaugurated as governor of Maine, but the same ycar was elected by the Republican legislature of Maine United States senator, and in February, 1857, resigned the governor- ship in order to take his seat in the United States senate, March 4, 1857. In 1860 he was nominated and elected vice-president of the United States on the ticket with Abraham Lincoln for president, and January 1, 1861, he
