Ebenezer Hamlin (1844 – 4 June 1900) was a Member of Parliament in New Zealand, and an independent conservative. He was born in Orua on the Manukau Harbour to the Rev James Hamlin, a missionary who had arrived in New Zealand in 1823. He fought in the New Zealand Wars in the 1860s, and was a Major in the Territorial Army.[1]
He represented the South Auckland seats of Franklin from 1876 to 1881; and then the replacement electorate of Franklin South from 1881 to 1890. He then represented the reconstituted Franklin electorate from 1890 to 1893 when he retired. He was never defeated.[2]
He served as Chairman of Committees from 1882 to 1890.[3]
