Biography

Hamlin Blague was born in 1725 to parents Joseph Blague and Mary Hamlin. Before 1747 he married Temperance Lord. Hamlin died in 1757. His Find A Grave memorial shows the death date for a "different" Hamlin Blague. Because Hamlin's wife Temperance married after his death and had children starting in the 1760s, the 1779 death date for the "other" Hamlin Blague cannot be for this persona; but another Hamlin Blague in the same area does exist.

The known children of Temperance and Hamlin Blague includes (there are probably more children):

1. Giles Blague (1747-1749)
2. GIles Blague (1750-abt.1826)
3. Hamlin Blague (1755 - )

Burial

Cypress Cemetery, Old Saybrook, Middlesex, Connecticut
