Notes: It has not been established that the children below were all siblings of the same family, but they are of the approximate ages which would have constituted the possibility of being brothers and sisters, and they do have the same surname. William Hamlin and a William Hamlin, Jr. were listed in the Census of 1800 as being a resident of Person County; and a William Hamlin continued to be listed until 1870 for Person.
