==Biography==
Thomas P Hamblem was born 1 Jan 1793 in Sullivan County, [[Southwest Territory]] (now part of Tennessee) to Pierce Dent Hamblen of Maryland and his wife Abigail Vincent of Virginia.  His father Pierce had served in the Revolutionary War 4th Virginia Regiment, Continental Line.

He married Mary Dunn, daughter of Thomas Dunn by his wife Margaret "Peggy" Beeler.  If she is the mother of all his children, then they must have married by 1822.  Mary was born abt 1799 in Tennessee per her entries in the 1850 and 1860 census.  Mary is named as "daughter Mary Hamblen" in her father's will in Claiborne County, Tennessee.

By 1840 the family is living in [[Franklin County, Arkansas]], and by 1860 they've moved to the adjoining county of Johnson.
