The Hamlyn, later Hamlyn-Williams Baronetcy, of Clovelly Court in the County of Devon and of Edwinsford in the County of Carmarthen, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.[1] It was created on 7 July 1795 for James Hamlyn (born James Hammett), heir of his great-uncle Zachary Hamlyn (1677–1759) of Clovelly.[2] He married Arabella Williams, daughter and eventual heiress of Thomas Williams (d.1792) of Edwinsford, Llandeilo, in Carmarthenshire, himself the heir of his elder brother Sir Nicholas Williams, 1st Baronet (1681–1745) of Edwinsford. He was Member of Parliament for Carmarthenshire from 1793 to 1802.[3]
The 2nd Baronet assumed the additional surname of Williams in 1798, in connection with an inheritance. He represented Carmarthen in parliament from 1802 to 1806.[4] His son the 3rd Baronet, a "staunch reformer", came into parliament unopposed in 1832, serving also from 1835 to 1837.[5] The title became extinct on his death in 1861.[2]
