o Parentage totally speculative. See below message from Todd Dorsett, Waynesboro, PA, 1/2011:
"I believe that James Hamlet/Hamblet who was born around 1801 or 1803 was a grandson, and not the son, of the William Hamlet who appears to have been the progenitor of the Chatham county Hamlets.
If memory serves me correctly, William had at least three sons: James, Richard, and William. I descend from Richard, and he could possibly be the father of the James listed on your site, but I have no documentation to support that supposition.
Also, I believe that Julia, wife of this James Hamlet, was a Petty and not a Hanks. You might consult the Petty Family website for further information on that couple. Interestingly, it appears that this Julia Petty was the daughter of Mary Hamlet Petty, who was a daughter of William Hamlet the progenitor.

Unattributed reference:
"According to L. Norwood, Oran's parent names were James Hamlet & Julia Hanks Hamlet came to Chatham 1841."
1840 Person Co., NC census:
James Hamlett, Jr.,
1 male 40-50,
1 female 30-40
children:
male:
5-10: 1
10-15: 2
15:20 1
female:
10-15: 1
Doesn't quite fit what we know.
On 1870 Chatham Co. census, age 68, name "James C. W. Hamlet", living with daughters Mary & Francis. Occupation "farmer".
On 1880 Chatham Co. census, age 79, as "James C. W. Hamlet", occupation "teaching school"
a "WIlliam Hamlet" is on p. 163 of the 1800 chatham co census, at least 45 y.o.. Seems to be the only one in the county at that time.
