Notes |
- This is presumably the Samuel Hambleton named in the 1818 deed of "Ebenezer" in Montgomery County; see Newman 1.116-17.
His papers are kept at the Maryland Historical Society (Mss 983, 2021, 2381).
"One of Talbot [County's] many citizens to gain immortality during the War of 1812, Samuel Hambleton, was born on March 29, 1777, the fourth generation of the family to whom Cecil, Lord Baltimore, had granted Martingham in 1659. . . . Samuel Hambleton eventually retired to Perry Cabin, named for his beloved friend and commander. He died there in 1851, and is buried at Martingham" (Weeks, 80-81).
He was later a prominent lawyer in Easton. And, he was on the Board of Agriculture of the Eastern Shore, formed on Dec. 1, 1825 (Weeks 100, 145).
His house, Perry Cabin, is near St. Michaels. It is famous in part because Gary Cooper and Fay Wray shot the film The First Kiss there in the 1930s. [2]
