Rufus Emery served as President of this association, and Hon. Hannibal Hamlin served as one of the Vice Presidents during the 1890-1891 session.

[edit] Cannibal?
"Hannibal Hamlin is also known as Hannibal the Cannibal"...?67.82.95.105 03:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Are you sure that wasn't Hannibal Lecter from the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" who actually ate people? I would think that a Vice President's tendancies to consume human flesh would be pretty well-documented in history books if he had such a nickname. Valley2city 06:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Of course it's true: "Truth is stranger than fiction." Where do you think Silence of the Lambs got the idea from? What you probably don't know is that he's also actor Harry Hamlin's great grandfather, who also eats human flesh. This is how Harry Hamlin got cast in the television series LA Law, which is about lawyers, a group known to be cannibalistic.

"I think that....consume human flesh" SEE: Richard M. Nixon
[edit] Hamblin or Hamlin
The article mentions the family historical name as "Hamblin", but both Hannibal and his 17th century ancestor James are listed with the last name Hamlin. Is there any record of the name being Hamblin? Valley2city 06:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Emery
I have just edited the article to state that Hamlin had three sons, Charles Hamlin, Cyrus Hamlin, and Hannibal Emery Hamlin. Beforehand the article strongly implied that Hannibal Emery Hamlin was the son of Charles Hamlin, i.e. that he was Hannibal Sr's grandson. My sources were the NNDB [1], the Political Graveyard [2], and the New York Times' account of Hannibal's will, [3] which might be a good source for further expansion of the article. The problem is that the New York Times article is itself ambiguous; it also implies that Hannibal Emery Hamlin was Charles' son, and furthermore it implies that there was a fourth son called Emery Hamilton. The Times' obituary of Charles states that he left behind four sons, none of them called Hannibal Emery Hamlin, although again it is ambiguous because of course Emery might have predeceased Charles. It would be great if someone with access to a proper printed biography of the man could clear this up. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 19:46, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Barack_Hussein_Obama Hannibal_Hamlin Lorenzo_Thomas
Regarding the fear of Barack_Hussein_Obama having an Arab name, has anyhing been written about Hannibal_Hamlin having an Arab name, or Lorenzo_Thomas having a name rooted in Latin, Latino, Lazio, Latium, Italy, Spain?
How many similar names are there of the first sesquicentennial era, not British?
