Son of Cyrus Hamlin and Anna (Livermore) Hamlin, Hanibal Hamlin also developed an interest in the law and politics. In 1860, he became Abraham Lincoln's vice president.

Cyrus Hamlin was born a twin in Harvard, Massachusetts, in 1769. Cyrus studied medicine at Harvard College, then followed three of his brothers to Maine, settling in Livermore. Besides serving as town physician, Hamlin was town clerk and moderator, and representative from Livermore to the Massachusetts General Court. In 1806, he was appointed Clerk of Courts in the newly formed Oxford County and moved to Paris with his wife and three children. He also was probate judge and sheriff of Oxford County for many years.

Anna Livermore, was the daughter of Deacon Elijah Livermore and Hannah Clark Livermore, both descendants of early New England settlers and founders of the town of Livermore. Anna Hamlin is said to have stopped a jailbreak when her husband, the sheriff, was away. She often had been seen to "place one hand on the back of a horse and vault with ease into the saddle." On August 27, 1809, Anna gave birth to her fifth child, the second born in the home in Paris. Anna and Cyrus named him Hannibal after his uncle.

Dr Cyrus Hamlin died 3 February 1829 in Paris Hill, Maine. Burial: Hillside Cemetery, Paris, Oxford, Maine
