The Emery family had a prominent influence during the Revolutionary war. Two signers of the Declaration of the Independence are descendants from the original Emery family, Josiah Bartlett and Thomas Heyward.
This information is found in "The Descendants of John and Anthony Emery of Newbury, Mass. 1590-1890" By Rev. Rufus Emery. This book was written by executives of the Emery Family Association. Rev. Rufus Emery served as President of this association, and Hon. Hannibal Hamlin served as one of the Vice Presidents during the 1890-1891 session. This book can be found in the Harvard College Library.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by AJEmery (talk • contribs) 05:43, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The article mentions the family historical name as "Hamblin", but both Hannibal and his 17th century ancestor James are listed with the last name Hamlin. Is there any record of the name being Hamblin? Valley2city 06:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have just edited the article to state that Hamlin had three sons, Charles Hamlin, Cyrus Hamlin, and Hannibal Emery Hamlin. Beforehand the article strongly implied that Hannibal Emery Hamlin was the son of Charles Hamlin, i.e. that he was Hannibal Sr's grandson. My sources were the NNDB , the Political Graveyard , and the New York Times' account of Hannibal's will,  which might be a good source for further expansion of the article. The problem is that the New York Times article is itself ambiguous; it also implies that Hannibal Emery Hamlin was Charles' son, and furthermore it implies that there was a fourth son called Emery Hamilton. The Times' obituary of Charles states that he left behind four sons, none of them called Hannibal Emery Hamlin, although again it is ambiguous because of course Emery might have predeceased Charles. It would be great if someone with access to a proper printed biography of the man could clear this up. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 19:46, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

How many similar names are there of the first  sesquicentennial   era, not  British?

replies: text: Charles Curtis was half Native American... has anybody complained about that lately. I have a very serious reason for asking and that serious reason is that it's just as ridiculous and meaningless as the questions above. Who cares what racist morons think.--Dr who1975 (talk) 20:36, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Who is being shown in the photograph of VP Hannibal Hamlin? According to Worldhistory.us, "Hamlin, wrote Barnwell Rhett,editor of the Charleston (SC) Mercury had black blood in him." Hamlin did have a dark complexion by several sourced descriptions. it must be remembered that few Americans traveled outside their communities in the 1860s,let alone their states. Few ever saw either President Lincoln or his four-year presiding Vice President, Hamlin. Grady, according to Lincoln in his autobiography had already doctored Lincoln's photographed image by lightening it to better appeal to white voters. Brady, it seems did the same with Hamlin and most certainly softened his Negroid hair. 24.89.5.135 (talk) 15:22, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
