H. P. Smith, ed., History of Addison County Vermont, (D. Mason & Co., Syracuse
NY, 1886):
p. 428 "North of Jared Abernathy, Truman Wheeler made two pitches in 1783,
building on the east side of the road; while between the two Benjamin Hamlin
built on thirteen acres of land, which he sold in 1803 to Abraham Balcom.
Cornelius Butcher settled north of Wheeler on a fifteen-acre lot, and in
1800 sold to Joseph Hamlin, who had bought a lot fifteen years previously
of Samuel Benton. Still farther north John Hamlin settled on the farm afterwards
owned successively by his son Ira Hamlin, and his grandson, Joseph Hamlin.
The farm so long occupied by Deacon Daniel Warner was first settled by
Benjamin Hamlin, who was succeeded by John Rockwell....The descendants
of John Hamlin are Joseph Hamlin, grandson, Mrs. T.P.D. Matthews, great-granddaughter,
and Edward Matthews, her son."

p. 434 Enos Hamlin's name appears in a list of many from Cornwall who volunteered
for service under Edmund B. Hill to fight in the Battle of Plattsburg NY
(Sep 1814).
