Alias:<ALIA> /Hamilton/
According to the "Genealogical Record of the Hambleton Family Descendants
of James Hambleton of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who died in 1751. With
mention of other Hambletons, in England and America" by Chalkley J.
Hambleton of Chilcago, Illinois. Published by the author, 1887 (105
pages): "James Hambleton, of Solebury, Bucks County, PA., who died in
July 1751, was a farmer, and owned a larged tract of land, (one account
says 600, another 800 acres), at what is now Center Hill, in the Township
of Solebury, which has since been divided into a number of farms. On an
old map, dated in 1706, as shown in Davis' History of Bucks County, this
tract is marked as belonging to Stephen Beakes, and is without doubt the
same land which was conveyed to James from Matthew Hughes and Elizageth
Hughes, executrix of the last will and testament of Stephen Beakes,
dec'd, and John Beakes, heir of Stephen Beakes, by deed dated March 27th,
1721, and entered of record, May 9th, 1792. He was a Quaker, and a
member of Buckingham Meeting, in Bucks county, in 1720..."
Some sources list his death in 1750 or 8 NOV 1751.
According to "Genealogical Record of the Hambleton Family in America" by
Chalkley J. Hambleton: "The name is derived from the manor of Hambleton
in Buckinghamshire, England."
