Biography

Israel Hamblen was born June 25, 1652, the son of James Hamblen and Ann Scott of Barnstable, Massachusetts^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}. He is named in his father's will, dated January 23, 1683 ^[3]

His first wife was Abigail, who is believed to be a daughter of Joshua Lombard^{[2] [3]}, and their children included^{[6] [7]}:

1. A child, who was born and died in 1687^{[2] [3] [6] [7]}
2. Thankful, born 24th Aug., 1689^{[6] [7]}, who married her cousin Ebenezer Hamblen, son of John Hamblen and Sarah Bearse^{[2] [3]}
3. Prudence, born October 31 (last of October ), 1692^{[6] [7]}, who married Joseph Gates of Preston^{[2] [3]}.
4. Israel, born 15th March, 1694^{[6] [7][3]} , who married Dorcas Godfrey of Yarmouth^[8]. While one source indicates he then married Bahsheba Baker^[2], it seems more likely that his wife died before remarrying, and their son Israel married Bathsheba Baker^{[8] [9]}
5. Joseph, born September 12, 1697^{[6] [7] [4]}, who married Abigail Davis, daughter of Jabez^{[2] [3]}
6. Jemima, 15th Aug., 1699^{[2] [3] [6] [7] [4]}

Israel's first wife died circa 1700, and his second wife was named Jemima, last name unknown^{[2] [3]}. Their children included:

1. Jacob, born 28th May, 1702^{[6] [7]}, married Content Hamblen and moved to Gorham Maine^{[2] [3] [10]}
2. Ann, born 10th April, 1706^{[6] [7]}, who married a Mr. Tilson and moved to Middleboro.^{[2] [3]}.

He was granted 270 acres in 1699, and sold land to Joseph Lumbert^[11]. He live in the east parish, near Israel's pond, which is named after his son, on Dimmock's lane, about a mile and a half south of the County road. His nearest neighbor was more than half a mile distant. He is referred to as Mr, which implies influence, so it is thought he was more than a simple farmer, but the details are not known^[3]

Israel Hamblen's estate was inventoried on July 2, 1729^[3], and was oddly signed by Abigail Hamblen now Barlow, Israel's widow^[12]. This has led to questions about Israel's spouse(s), and speculation that Jemima's name on 2 children's birth records was an error, or that perhaps there was a third wife, also named Abigail. There is a record for an Abigail (Davis) Hamblen, daughter of Jabez Davis and widow of Joseph Hamblen, who married John Barlow in 1730, too late for this to be the same Abigial. The record loss in Barnstable County sometimes leads to an incomplete story.
