The Hamlin Family of Smethport, Pennsylvania

The name of Hamblen is supposed to be of German origin, perhaps derived from the town of Hamlin, in Lower Saxony, at the junction of the river Hamel with the Weiser. The name of Hemelin is still common in France, whence some have come to this country and to Quebec, where they have become numerous. In England the name was spelled Hamelyn, Hamlin, Hamelin, Hamlyn, etc., and in America also spelled Hamlin. As the name is found in the Roll of Battle Abbey it was probably brought to England by a follower of William the Conqueror. Many Hamblen families bore arms. Representatives of the distinguished American family of this name participated in the war of the revolution and subsequent wars. It has produced a goodly number of able men, including clergymen, lawyers, physicians, statesmen and men of affairs. The most distinguished representative in official life of modern times was Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, vice-president of the United States during Lincoln’s administration, for a number of years member of the United States senate from Maine, and afterward United States minister to Spain.

(IX) Orlo James Hamlin

Orlo James, son of Dr. Asa L. Hamlin, was born in Sharon, Connecticut, December 2, 1803, died at Smethport, Pennsylvania, February 13, 1880. He was educated in such schools as that early day provided in Wayne and Bradford counties, Pennsylvania, and seems to have so well improved his opportunities that in 1824 he was appointed teacher of the pioneer school at Towanda, Bradford county. While holding that position he read law in the office of Simon Kinney, and two years later was admitted to the bar. In 1826 he was admitted with John W. Howe, ex gratia member of the McKean county bar. He at once began practice, locating in Smethport, and rose to the highest distinction in his profession and in public esteem. He began his political life in 1828, when he took a leading part in the campaign. He was elected to the state legislature and made his first great speech in support of a state road through McKean county. In July, 1836, he was admitted to practice in the supreme court of the state, and in 1837 practiced before the United States district court at Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

He was active in public and professional life and writing in 1832 says he has filled the offices of “township collector, deputy postmaster, deputy prothonotary, recorder and register, treasurer of the township road funds for two years, postmaster three years, deputy United States marshal to take the census of 1830, deputy attorney-general for McKean and Potter counties and in 1832 member of the legislature.” He makes the further statement:

“Complaint has never reached my ear of mismanagement in any of the offices and I could have held them much longer had I chosen to do so. I have learned to consider office rather as a matter of accident and peculiar fortune than the result of talent and management and I have observed that those who seem most desirous of office are least fortunate in obtaining it — consistency in politics should never be lost sight of.” After resigning his seat in the constitutional convention in 1837 (which framed the constitution of the state of Pennsylvania) he partially recovered his health, sadly broken by his labors in the convention. He practiced with great success up to 1851, but for over twenty years prior to his death never appeared in court, his last public case being in 1849, when he aided the district attorney in the prosecution of Uzza Robbins on trial for murder, of which he was convicted. Though physically weak he was possessed of rare mental power; an analyst by nature, he was logical in all things and each proposition submitted for his opinion was subjected to this process of logical dissection, so when the conclusion was reached it was an eminently just and proper one.

During the last twenty years of his life, while barred from professional labor, he took up the study of French, German, astronomy, geology and zoology, using in his studies the physical assistance of members of his family. In his early life Mr. Hamlin was skeptical in regard to the immortality of his soul, but in 1845 he became a member of the Presbyterian church of Smethport and was baptized. His faith grew stronger as the years ripened and he died in full confidence of a blessed immortality. He was deeply mourned, his death calling forth most fitting eulogy from his brethren of the profession, the press and private friends. He was a resident of McKean county over half a century, and as pioneer lawyer, public official or friend always measured up to the full stature of manhood.

He married, in Norwich township, McKean county, Pennsylvania, January 13, 1828, Orra Lucinda Cogswell, born in Griswold, Connecticut, September 10, 1804, died in Smethport, April 17, 1880, daughter of John and Dolly Cogswell, of Griswold, Connecticut. Children of Orlo James Hamlin, all born in Smethport:

1. Harriet Hamlin, born January 3, 1829.
2. Henry Hamlin, of whom further.
3. John Cogswell Hamlin, born March 4, 1836, died October 25, 1912; was a merchant; married, October 15, 1857, Charlotte M., daughter of Dr. William Y. and Charlotte A. (Darling) McCoy; children, born in Smethport:

(X) Henry Hamlin

Henry, son of Orlo James Hamlin, was born in Smethport, Pennsylvania, April 9, 1830. He inherited his father’s love for books and research, and after his preparatory education was obtained began the study of law. Finding his health demanded a less sedentary occupation he engaged as clerk in the mercantile establishment of O. J. and B. D. Hamlin. At the age of nineteen years he was admitted a partner, continuing most successfully until 1878, when he sold out his interest in the business to Mr. Hoskell. His later business life has been spent in oil, timber and banking ventures and have brought him large returns. His holding of timber lands in Pennsylvania and other states was very large, while his oil, banking and commercial ventures have been managed with a wisdom most wonderful. His faculty for acquiring a complete knowledge of the most intricate detail of every enterprise submitted to him has been the great secret of his success, rarely making a mistake or suffering a loss in his investments. He established in 1863 the banking house of Henry Hamlin, in Smethport, which became one of the solid financial institutions of western Pennsylvania. He was one of the original organizers of the Smethport Water Works Company, and has been concerned in the founding of every public enterprise of merit in his borough. He is an ex-president of the First National Bank of Port Allegany, Pennsylvania, and senior member of the banking house of Henry Hamlin & Sons, established 1863, now the Hamlin Bank and Trust Company, of which he is president.

Mr. Hamlin is also director of the Coudersport and Port Allegany Railroad Company; trustee of the Fidelity Trust & Guaranty Company of Buffalo, New York; president of the Buckeye Gas Company of Cincinnati, Ohio; director in the Logan, Newark and other gas companies of Ohio; director of the Fulton & Phoenix Gas Companies in New York state; director of the Conklin Wagon Company of Olean, New York; trustee of the Minona Mining Company of Colorado; president of the Smethport Water Company and director in the Great Southern Lumber Company of Bogalusa, Louisiana. Besides the erection of a handsome bank building and a fine residence, Mr. Hamlin has further beautified Smethport by the erection and endowment of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, of which he and his family are communicants and he senior warden. This is but one of his many benevolences to religious and charitable societies and well illustrates his generous Christian character. He was a Democrat originally, but dissented with his party on the question of human slavery and supported the candidacy of Abraham Lincoln. In 1881 he was elected associate judge of McKean county, holding that office until the abolishment of same by McKean county becoming a separate judicial district.
