(A70) Re: Thomas HAMLIN. My HAMLIN family has lived in Montrose, Penn., for
5 generations. One Thomas HAMLIN, was born in Sharon, Conn., 24 July 1747, a
descendant of James HAMLIN from Barnstable, Mass. Thomas HAMLIN’s father’s name
was Thomas HAMLIN, and his father’s name was Deacon Ebenezer HAMLIN. Thomas
HAMLIN m. 14 May 1772 Mary JEWETT, dau. of Caleb & Rebecca JEWETT. He was
also in the Rev. War 1776 from Cornwall, Conn. Do you know about the Barnum
Family Genealogy (1901) by Franklin Andrews?

(A70) Re: Thomas HAMLEN/HAMBLIN of Barnstable, Mass., or N. J. I believe we
are researching two different Thomas’s. The one I’m pursuing first appears in
the N. J. court records 6 Feb. 1733, probably from Mass, and born ca. 1700. The
Thomas you refer to as he is recorded in Andrews, History of the Hamlin
Family.

(A195) Re: Sarah Jane (BRADFORD) BRYAN (1849-1903). I am the great-granddau.
of Elizabeth BRADFORD (sister of Sarah Jane). This family went by the name of
BRADFIELD for many years, from 1839-40 to the mid-60s or 1870. This is based on
baptismal & marriage records, Boston City Directory, census, death, cemetery
records, and death notices. A descendant of Uncle George BRADFORD claimed
descent from William BRADFORD of the Mayflower. My mother told the story that
George BRADFORD (d. 1853) had changed his name because of a fierce argument he
had had with his brother. Vital records: George BRADFORD m. 5 April 1837
Catherine HAGERTY in Christ Church, Boston. Sarah Jane, of George &
Catherine BRADFIELD, bp. June 1842. Marriage records: John BRYAN 25, Ireland
(son of John & Jane) and Sarah J. BRADFIELD 22, Boston, dau. of George &
Catharine, on 26 May 1864. 1880 census (T9, Reel 556 E.D. 686, p.18) BRYAN,
John, 42, Blacksmith, W. Third St., b. England; Sarah J., 37, wife; & 3
sons. I have also looked at some passenger lists in Boston but did not finish
and did not find anything definitive. I have portraits of Uncle George as an
adult (looks like Walter Mondale) and Elizabeth BRADFIELD as a girl.

(A212) The name CANTIZE has variant spellings: CANTIS, CANTES, CANTISSE,
CANTYS, KANTEYS, etc. The family in whom you are interested seems to have lived
in or near Birchington on the Isle of Thanet, Kent Co., England, in the 16th
century. Elizabeth CANTIZE was bpt. at Birchington, 17 April 1550, prob. dau.
of Valentin CANTIS who m. at Birchington, 27 Nov. 1540 Johana HOLDEN. (from
microfiche records of Kent Co. compiled by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints in Salt Lake City) Records indicate that Valentin CANTIS, a yeoman,
had at least 6 ch. betw. 1543 and 1553. Elizabeth CANTIZE was m. to Richard
KNOWLTON (“Rycherd Knowlden”) at St. Dunstan’s church in Canterbury on 17 July
1577. I also have a list of CANTIZE family wills which I extracted from
published Kent Co. records in the New York Public Library, and 2 deeds referring
to CANTIZE family land in Kent in the 15th century.

Leppman in The American Genealogist (TAG) magazine, 1981, vol.57, p.209 (cont.)

Middleborough, m. there 25 Dec. 1771 Jemima RUSSELL of Wareham. It occurred to
me that your Reuben b. at Plymouth 1780 might be the son of the above Reuben3.
For the line for this Reuben, see TAG 47:209-212, back to Samuell MUXOM of
