General Notes: Husband - James [2] Hamlin
He came to New England with his mother and sisters prior to 1642. He was a farmer at Barnstable, Massachusetts, and resided at first on his father's farm, later removing to West Barnstable. He was a proprietor of Falmouth, but did not live there any length of time. His name appears on a list of freemen, May 29, 1670, and he was appointed as "inspector of ordinarys" for the town of Barnstable. He and his wife were members of the church in 1683. He was deputy to the general court in 1705. Late in life he removed to Tisbury where his will was dated September 13, 1717.
He was a farmer, living at Coggins Pond, at Hamblen's Plain, and in 1702 at West Barnstable; he was deputy to the general court, May 30, 1705.
He is recorded as having been a proprietor at Falmouth, but it is evident that he did not reside in that place except possibly temporarily. His removal to and possible temporary residence in Falmouth was due to a controversy which raged at that time concerning the proper treatment of the Quakers by the authorities of the Colony. There were two parties to this controversy; the first, which was headed by Governor Thomas Prence, declared for strong oppressive measures, while the second party upheld a more moderate treatment of them. The moderation of these incurred the enmity of the authorities, and in the year 1660 a company of men, including a number of prominent members of the Colony, left Barnstable and coasted around Cape Cod, landing finally at Succonesset (now Falmouth). The list of those who ventured forth, dissatisfied with the conduct of the affairs of the Colony, was as follows: Jonathan Hatch, Isaac Robinson, John Chapman, John Jenkins, James Hamlin, Mr. Thomas, Samuel Fuller, Thomas Lothrop, Anthony Annable, Peter Blossom, William Nelson, James Cobb, Samuel Hinckley and Thomas Ewer. At Succonesset land was assigned to each of these intended colonists, but of them only two, Jonathan Hatch and Isaac Robinson, settled there permanently, while most of the others, if not all, returned speedily to Barnstable.
