He was the first Vice President from the Republican Party. Prior to his election in 1860, Hamlin served in the United States Senate, the House of Representatives, and, briefly, as the 26th Governor of Maine. ==Early life== Hamlin was born to Cyrus Hamlin and his wife Anna, Livermore, in Paris, Maine. He was a descendant in the sixth generation of English colonist James Hamlin, who had settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1639, and a grandnephew of U.S. Senator Samuel Livermore II of New Hampshire, and the son-in-law of Stephen Emery, Maine's Attorney General in 1839–1840. Hamlin attended the district schools and Hebron Academy and later managed his father's farm. From 1827 to 1830 he published the ''Oxford Jeffersonian'' newspaper in partnership with Horatio King. He studied law with the firm headed by Samuel Fessenden, was admitted to the bar in 1833, and began practicing in Hampden, a suburb of Bangor, where he lived until 1848. Hamlin married Sarah Jane Emery of Paris Hill in 1833. After Sarah died in 1855, he married her half-sister, Ellen Vesta Emery in 1856. He had four children with Sarah: George, Charles, Cyrus and Sarah, and two, Hannibal E. and Frank, with Ellen. Ellen Hamlin died in 1925.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fogler Library: Finding Guide to the Hamlin Family Papers )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hannibal Hamlin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
