Joseph Bradley Hamlet was born 6th of the 7 children of Eli Hamlet and his wife, Mary Richardson, natives of Dracut, MA, more than a dozen years after they had removed to Brownville, Maine. 14 Dec 1846 in Brownville, he married Charlotte M. Snow, daughter of Tileston and Nancy Heath Snow. (His brother, Dana Hamlet, had married Charlotte's sister, Elizabeth, in 1839. Dana and Elizabeth are buried in Otsego Cemetery in Wright Co., MN. Tileston and Nancy Snow are buried in Big Lake in Sherburne Co., MN.) My grandmother told me that Joseph Bradley Hamlet went by the name Brad. He "enlisted in Company E. of the Eleventh Maine Volunteer Infantry under Captain Stafford, serving seven months. Was in the battle of Yorktown, Virginia, and at the battle of Seven Pines; was wounded, on account of which he was mustered out of service at Yorktown, Virginia, on the 7th of October, 1862." (Source: History of the Upper Mississippi Valley by Newton Horace Winchell, Edward Duffield Neill, John Fletcher Williams.) After the Civil War, he joined relatives and neighbors who had migrated to the Lily Pond area between Monticello and Otsego in Wright Co., MN. His wife went to Washington state after his death, to join one of their children, and is buried in Snohomish. They were the parents of Flora, Lewis, Flavilla, Aroline, William and Helen Hamlet.
