HAMLIN.
The progenitor of all the Hamlins that settled early in Ox- ford county was Eleazer, of Harvard, Mass. He owned a large tract of land in Waterford. He had seventeen children. He offered each of his sons land enough to make a farm if they would settle on it. Four of them, Africa, America, Eleazer, and Hannibal, accepted the offer. There were then only twelve families in town. Mrs. Africa Hamlin, with a little child in her arms, was drawn upon a moose sled from Long pond to her wilderness home. When asked if she was not homesick (her husband was not with her), she answered, " no, not at all."
AFRICA HAMLIN married SUSANNA STONE. He came from Harvard, Mass .; settled in South Waterford; a farmer; was first town clerk and was often in town office.
