History of Paris, Oxford County, Maine, p 619:
The ancestor of the distinguished Paris family of this name, was probably James Hamlin1, (variously spelled Hamblen, Hamlen, Hamlin and Hamlyn) who came from England and settled at Barnstable, on Cape Cod. It has been said by some, that he first came to Scituate, and from thence, moved to Barnstable with Rev. John Lothrop and that portion of his church which went there in 1639-40. This theory has been disproved by the researches of Prof. Charles E. Hamlin of Harvard College, who shows that he came from London to Barnstable. Several generations of his descendants lived in Barnstable, and persons bearing this name are now scattered throughout the country. He had by wife Anna, 9 children, some of the oldest having been born in England. He died in Barnstable in 1690.

Mr. Lothrop taught that Baptism was an ordinance of primary importance, and published a work on the subject, urging that the parent, being a member of the church, who unnecessarily delayed the performance of this service, thereby periled the salvation of the child. The practice in Mr. Lothrop's church was to baptize children on the Sabbath next following their birth. Instances are given of children born on Sabbath morning, and carried two miles the same day at an inclement season of the year to be baptized.

It would seem that James Hamblen conformed to this custom. It will be observed that his three youngest children were baptized on the day of birth. Anne Scott and James Hamlin were married about 1629 in Berkshire, England.^154,430
