To The Kindrkd : The desire for some knowledge of those who have gone before us is ahoor^t universal among civilized people. A certain amount of veneration of ancestors exists even among savage tribes. Tlie record of a line of honoral)le and upright a n^'cslry is the best gift we can leave to posterity. To many thinking people a work of this kind is uir more satisfactory as a memorial of those who liave gone before us than many costly shafts of granite or marble to mark tiie last resting place of the bodies of the dear departed ones. The task of collecting and arranging a family memorial is a work of love. It is an arduous task if faithfully performed and one for which there is no hope of financial reward. The work of collecting and arranging tlie material for this volume was performed under almost unsurmountable difHculties, and under very discouraging circumstances, in tlie midst of a busy life and covering a period of more than ten years. During this entire period it has been necessary for the compiler to at- tend to other duties during business hours to maintain his family, and but for the assistance of others who felt equally interested the work would never have been published. The compiler does not claim perfection. He is aware theie are errors in his work. He has striven to make it as accurate as possible and trusts that the kindred will be charitable in their judgment of his faults. vi '-^ PREFACE Those who liavo liad i>o ex}»ericnce in work of tliis kind eaii hardly realize the diflieultics that have to be overcoiuo or the trials and vexations that must be endured. iMueh of the pres- ent volume was written some years ago while the writer was but a novice at v\'ork of this kind, and circumstances were such that it could not be re-written or even thorou^idy revised. In the midst of publication the death angel entered his household and the work was completed in tlie shacjovv of a great sorroA\-. Hoping and trusting that this volume may prove a source of satisfaction and joy to the kindred, and thanking those who have so kindly rendered assistance, I am Very Sincerely Yours, F. S. HAMMOND.

It is found written Anian, Amann, Amon, Amnion, Haman, Haaiant, Hamont, Hammon, Plarnmons, Hamond, Hamonde, Hayman, Ilayniond, and later ahnost univevfally as Hammond, although there are still some Amans of French or Norman descent and a few Hamants, Hammons and Haymans of English and Irish origin. It appears among the very earliest surnames found in England, where it was introduced as a family cognomen at the time of the Conquest by some officers of the invading army.- " Ammon or Hammon — A name given to Jupiter, wor- shiped in Libya. When Bacchus was conquering Africa, he is said to have come with his army to a spot called, from the vast quantity of sand lying around, by the name of Ham- modes. Here his forces were in great danger of perishin<;( from w:int of water, when a ram appeared on a sudden unci guided them to a verdant spot, or oasis, in the midst of the desert. \\'lien they reached this nlace the ram disappeared and they found an abundant supply of water. Bacchuy there- /: f ' ' f ' f-» r'»" 2 OIIIGIN OF tup: name 1 fore, out of gratitude, erected on the spot a temple to Jupiter. { giving him at the same time the surname Ammon, or Ham- ,, mon. from the Greek sand in allusion to the circumstances ' connected with his appearance, and the statue of the deity had j the head and horns of a ram. The oasis referred to is the ■ Oasis of Ammon, and the fountain is the famous Fons Rons. j The temple of Ammon, like that of Delphi, was famous » for its treasures, the varied offerings of the pious. Plutarch « says that the name of Ammon is the Egyptian name for ; Jupiter. This god was particularly worshipped at Thebes, ; called in the sacred books Hammono, "the possessioTi of Hammon," and in the Septuagint (Ezek. C. 21), the City of ; Ammon. Jablonski derives the word Ammon from Am-oein \ — shining. According, however, to Champollion the younger, the term in question (Amon), denoted in the Egyptian lan- guage " secret, concealed," or " he who reveals nis secret powers." The Greek etymology of the name Ammon is fan- ciful and visionary, and only affords another proof of the . constant habit in which that nation indulged, of referring so many things to themselves with v»hich they had not, in truth, / the slightest connection."* Many other significations are found for the name in an- ' cient history: Amon — fiithful, true ; Ilaman — noise, turmoil. ; Ilamon-Gog — the multitude of Gog, &:c. \ At a later date we tnid the Roman General, who was among , the invaders of Britain and from whom the Port of South- ampton derives its nami. His feat of valor adds no particular \ h\stre to the name, however. \ In the settlement of the estate of Thomas Button, Bishop [ of Exeter, in the year 1310, is mentioned a lot of " loculi- I ponchi and Hamondcs,'' six in number, which were sold. The \ word is used here in its Saxon, meaning " something which \ protects and keeps safe."t j The name Hammond as a family name appears in Eng- \ land from the date of the Conquest (1066). It is found witl. | *Cla.*^■ical Dictionary, t)y Charles Anthon, L. L. D. fNotes and Queries, 1870, vol. 5, p. 34. ORIGIN OF THE NAME 3 a large variation of spelling, often exhibiting three or more dijlereut forms in the same document. The name appears to have been generally spelled Hamond or Hamoude prior to 1700, but is often found written Ilamon, Ilamont or Hamant in the text of a document, when the signature is Hamond or Hamonde. The same individual does not seem to have always spelled his name in the same fashion, and it is not until some years afttr the emigration to America that we find anything like uniformity of spelling, even in the same family. After the emigration the large majority of the families of the name adopted the uniform spelling of Hammond, but there are a fevv' who still adhere to the names Hamant, Hamond and Hammon. "Hammond. Among the many of his own kin who accompanied the Duke of Normandy on his invasion of Eng- land vscic tV»'o brothers, sons or grandsons of Haiijun Dentu- tus; Robert Fitz-PIamon, the renowned conqueror of Glamor- ganshire, and Huimon, called " Dapifer," from his having received the orhce of Lord Steward for the King. The latter died issueless, and the former left four daughters only, three of whom devoted themselves to conventual lives, and the fourth, Mabel, married Robert Fitzroy, Earl of Gloucester. Hamon Dentatus appears to have had at least two other sons, Richard, of Granville, and Corbeil, ancestor of the Granville family, illustrious in the ranks of the peers and landed pro- prietors ; and Creuquer, as he is styled in the Battle Abbey Roll, who inherited the Barony of Chatham from Robert Fitz- Hamon and many of the Kentish estates of Hamon Dapifer. Creuquer, or Crevecoeur, had his manors erected into a lord- ship, called by way of distinction, " Baronia-de-Creviquer," and from Chatham being its head, his descendants generally wrote themselves '' Domini de Cetham." We find these hon- ors in the rs:^ign of Richard I. in possession of Haimon de Crevequer, who died in 1203, leaving Robert Haimon his heir, j Haimon joined the confederacy of the Barons under Simon de ' Montfort against Htiiry HI, ond was among those who in j consequence lost their estates.

It may not be cui of place to quote brietly from some of the accounts of ihis, our illustrious Norman ancestor. "In the same comp;^ny was Hamon. Lord of Thorigny, Lord, too, of the Steep of Crenbily, where a vast fabric of later times has displaced his ancient * donjon,' and where the adjoining church bears witness to the splendors and bounty of the generation immediately fol- lov.dng his own." Some personal pccniiarity entitled him to bear, in the language of our Latin chroniclers, one of the most glorious cognomenia of old Rome, and Hamon Dentatus be- came the forefather of men famous in British as well as in Norman history.^ One royal chronicler in his zeal speaks of *Iiurke's Balile Abbty Ko;], ]b4S, p. 6G, tBurke's BiittU?

"The expression is very strange, but it is so taken by M. Le Comte (See Appendix 0.), and I see not what else it can mean,"* Many pages of Freeman's History of the Norman Conquest are devoted to tiie exploits of Hamon. Robert Fitz-Kamou seems to have taken a very active part in proclaiiaing William King, and the large estates given him were but a filling reward from his sovereign. In describing the battle wb.ich decided the conquest Freeman says, '• Wiilian^ novr sprang on his horse's back, and nov/ ready for battle, he paused for a raon>ent at the head of his host. His gallant equipment and bearing called forth the admiration of a.ll around him, and a spokesman for their thoughts was found in Hamon, the Viscount of the distant Thowars. He spoke, no doubt, the words of all when he said that never had such a knight been seen under heaven, and that the noble Count would become a noble King."t In speaking of the Council which proclaimed William King, he says : " The military council was strongly in favor of William's acceptance of the crown, but the decisive answer was given, not by any of William's native subjects, but by one Dentatus [Dan as Den«], avers Roberti quo nostro tempore in Anglia multa- nim possessionum incubator exstitil."

Katherine S, Macquoid, in her " Through Nor- mandy," p. 407, describes the ancient fortress or castle of Hamon in CreuUy, which is still in existence. She also gives a very entertaining account of the early Lord and his sons. The name is also found in the far north. In the "' Story of the Volsungs," edited by H. li. Sparling, which is trans- lated from the Icelandic, is mentioned in the mythology of the north ; " Ilamund^" son of Sigmund, son of Volsung, son of Resis, son of Sigi, son of Odin or \Vodin. HAMMONDS IN ENGLAND. The tracing of early family history and geneolcgy in England is attended wiih many serious difiiculties. owing chiefly to tlie vandalism of our Puritan ancestors, v.'ho in their misguided zeal for the cause of Protestantism destroyed churches, burned records, and sent whole ship loads of valua- ble papers and documents to the Netherlands to be used in paper making. The few remnants which escaped their fury are mostly collected in the British Museum, and while the amount deposited there seems large to the casual observer, it is but a tithe of what existed throughout England prior to the time of (^ueen Elizabeth. It is when the family historian and geneologist attempts to follow the line of his ancestry back beyond this period that lie begins to realize the great dearth of records, unless his ancestors have been numbered among the nobility, when some tecords of them may be found in the Herald's College. Even if such t>e the case, he may still find great diiiiculty in making ail of the connections, and finally be obliged to give up the attempt, or frame a record from patchwork, supported by small items of circum.stantial evi- JFreeinaa's Conquest of England, Vol. Ill, p. 551. oniGiN OF THE namt: 7 dence, ami such records of wills, administrations and court records as may be found. The oldest parish registers, with lew excc[^tions. now in existence, do not date back beyond the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and but tew of the records to be found in any of the parishes or manors of England are of an earlier date. Comparatively little worthy of attention prior to this time is found outside of the British Museum. With this situation confronting the would-be family historian and gen- eologist, he must needs gather irom the fragments such stray items as he can find, and arrange them in as orderly a manner as possible for those who shall come after him. But a discon- nected and fragmentary record of the Hammonds can be found from the time of the Coucjuest down to the time of Henry VIIL There were a few notables in the family who have left some trace behind them, but it would be the work of an or- dinary lifetime to collect and arrange the little that remains. The carlif:st known seat of the family seems to have been in the County of Norfolk, and from there they seem to hnve spread over Suffolk; Essex, Yorkshire and other couniies. Hamon de Cleme was lord of a manor in Norfolk, which was invaded by a band of men, who seized the corn and threshed it, and cut down timber and carried it away in the year 1270.* The earliest record of the name of Hammond which is known to exist in Suffolk is the following indenture given on p. 296 of the History of Long Melford, by the late Sir Wm. Parker, Bart. " 4. Ed. HI. " We, Alexander le Turner, ot Melford, and Johane, his wife, have granted to Adam Grencleve all rights and posses- sion of half an acre of arable (land) in Melford, lying between the land of John Cole and Adam Scoyle, one head abutting on land of John de Melford, and the other on the " way " lead- ing to the house of John Hog, and the aforesaid half acre of arable lies between pasture formerly of John Fairhead and the hud of the Rector of IMelford." *Topics of the Time, 18S3.

' (Oct' 9, 1331.) For the next three centuries the Hammonds continued to increase and spread all over this section of iSuffolkshire, until there were many hundreds of the name living within a radius of ten miles around Melford. Thomas Hammond was Lord of the Manor of Cresseners, County Suilolk, from ir)Gl to 1586. Ilis wife was Anne, daughter of John Cawston, flsq., ot Hawkedon. (In his v/ill Feb. 8, 1560, he spells the name Caustone.) He died in 1586, and was succeeded by his son. Thomas Hammond. He was the Thomas Hamoiide who was witness to the will of Chri.stopaer Browne, of Hawkedv>n, in 15GS. (Bond's Hi-t. Watertown, p. x iL^O.)

He was succeeded by his son, John Hammond. John Hammond, L. L. D., of Bury St. Edmunds, died in 1590. His wife was Agnes Nowell, sister of Alexander Nowell, Dean of St. Paul's. His widow married Art'nur Jenney, Esq., and his eldest son and heir married Ursula Jenney, daughter of Arthur Jenney, Esq., by his first wife. This son, William Hammond, "died a soldier beyond the seas in 1622." Thomas Hammond, L. L. D., of Bury St. Edmunds, brother of Dr. John Hammonq., of Mendham, County Suffolk. He was under collector of tithes and subsidies. He died March 11 15^9, leavirig an only son, Tliomas Hammond, aged 7 years ai the time of his fith'-r's death. This son entered Cambridge Lnivir-ity, but seems to have left v/ithout taking a degree. He is mentioned as Esquire in his grandfather •./ ORIGIN OF THE NA:ME 9 Ward's will in 1G32. From his uncle, Sir William Ward, are dcseendetl tjie Wards, Earls Dudley. Another brother of Dr. John Hammond's was Henry Hammond, a wealthy clothier of Bury St. Edmunds. Still another brotlier was Edward \ Hammond, oi All Hallows on the Wall, London, who with his brother Thomas purchased St. Paul's Hosj>ital, Canterbury, in 1597. He died in London in 1G30. Still anotlier brotlier was Matthew Hammond, the ancestor of the Hammonds of Uflbnl, CouJity Suffolk. Thomas Hammond, of Weiherden, County Suffolk, who died in 1601, had two daus^hters, Diana, who married Jolin Dey nes, Esq., chief constable of Codden- ham, County Suffolk, and Susanna, who married John Win- terflood, Esq., of Alveley Hall, Assingtou, County Suffolk. His only son. Thomas Hammond, died unmarried. The Hammonds of Lawshall were nearly all agricultur- ists, some of them, however, quite wealthy for the period in which they liveil. Some apprar to have been landed gentry. but nearly all of these left a family of younger sons, Vv'ho held hinds as tenants under the Lord of the Manor. Of this family was Major General Sir Tliomas Hammond, Lord of tiie Manor of Whepstead, County Suffolk, who died leaving a widow and one daughter, both of whom died soon after. " The manor of Whepstead was held by Bury Abbey, by gift of Theodred, Bisho{) of London, and was granted to Sir William Drury in the 31st year of Henry VIJI. It afterward passed through various families to the late Major General Hammond, who repaired and modernized Plumpton Hall, a large mansion, which is now occupied by a farmer, and has been recently sold by the trustees of the late Sir Thomas Hammond." It is now owned by Wm. Robert Beven, Esq., a London banker. Sir Andrew Snape Hammond, of the ship Roebuck, who was active in the war against the colonies in the Revolution, and mention of whom is often found in American Archives, was of the Suffolk branch of the Hammond family.

Perhaps the most noted English femily, with the possible exception of the family at St. Albans, County Kent, is that of Dr. John Hammond, court physician to King James L. and Henry, Prince of Wales, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. He wa? eminent in his profe.ssion, and was the ance.stor of many men eminent in English history. His eldest son, John Hammond, the author of "Leah and Ilachel." published in London in 1656, came to Virginia in IG^M, remaining there nineteen years, then removed to ^laryland, where he remained two years before his return to England. His work, "Leah and Rachel, the Fruitful Sisters," was a description of the colonies of I\Iaryland and V^irginia. Another son of Dr. John Hanimond was Major General Thomas Hammond, of Crom- well's army, the father of Col, Robert Hammond, Governor of the Isle of Wight, to whom King Charles I, surrendered. Col. Robert Hammond was one of Cromwell's most trested officers, and after Cromwell had secured control of the gov- ernment, he appointed him Governor of the Isle of Wight, and he took up his residence at Carrisbrook Castle, where the King went vvith his attendants to surrender to him, probably having decided upon that course owing to the fact that Col. Rubnrt Hamn.ond v. as a nephew of his favoriie chaplain, Rev. Henry Hammond, D, D. (See Palfrey's Hist, of New England, Vol. 2, p, 107.) A collection of lettt^rs between Col. ILiuimond and the ORIGIN OF THE NAME 11 Committee of Lords, ishop of York. He had three sons and five daughters. His sons were Anthony, Edward and Willian.i. Sir William died in KHo and was succeeded by his son, Anthony Hamm..n.l, Esq., of St. Albans Court, who married Anne, daughter of Sir Dudley Diggs, of Chilham Castle, Mas- ter of the Rolls under King Charles I. He liad four .sons and some daughters. His sons were first — \\'illiam, his successor ; second, Dudley ; three An- thony Hammond, of Somersham Place, Member of Parliament and Commissioner of tlie Navy during the reign of Queen Anne, and known as Sllccr Tongncd Hammond. He married .Jan.e, daughter of Sir Walter Claryes, Bart., and had issue, first— Thomas Ihimmond, Est}., of Somersham Place, who married Elizabeth Adams, and died in 17-38. Second— James Hammond, the eh-gaic poet, M. P. from Truro, born in 1710, died in 17-12. Third— Edwar.l Hammond, of the Royal Navy, who diearker, Garter King at Arms, under Khig Edward VI, and are a.s follows : '• Argon I. on a chevron snble, betweii-n tliree pellets, each chaigi <1 Willi a mardet of the field, as many escallop'S, or, with- in a ]>ordure engrailed, vert. Tiesi — A hawks head, collared gules, rays issuing, or. The motto is, '• ih-o Kege et Patria." (For King and Country.) This Coat of Arms, with the exception of the Crest, is very similar to the arms of the Hanmionds of Suffolk ahd Nor- folk, and may be taken to indicate a close family connection with those fiimilies. This is the Coat of Arms used by some of the Hannnonds in America, but it is not that to which, if any, many of them can lay any claim whatever by right of descent. A Coat of Arms and Crest exhibited by an American citizen, descended from Revolutionary ancestry, is at best but a harmless diversion attended with more or less bad taste, but the Arms, if any, to which the lamilies mentioned in the fol- lowing pages can lay any shadow of a claim are either the very ancient ones described below, or those of some one of the Suffolk finiiilit.'s of more recent date. These ancient Arms are the earliest recorded to the name in the Herald's College. Tbe shield is Norman, or heart shaped. Argent, a cheve- 14 OEIGIN OF THE NAME roil sable, cbargod ^vith tliree escallops, argent ; between three pellets, sable, eliarged with a martlet, argent, within a bordiire engrailed. Gu. Crest — On a helmet and wreath of three colors, a lions head, erased. Gu. The motto is " Tentanda Via Est," meaning, ^1 icay must be tried. The Arms of Hammond of counties Suffolk and Xorfolk, as furnished by H. G. Somerby, Esq., in 1852, are as follows : *' Or, on a cheveron sable, three Cornish claughs, argent. " Crest — An elephants head, argent, ducally gorged and eared. Or." The following named are found in the " Royal Kallen- der and Annual Register" for 1778 : Court of Exchequer. — Appraiser, Richard Hanmiond, Esq. Navy Office. — Chatham Yard, jMaster Attendance, N. Hammond. Ca[itain, R. N., connnissioned Dec. 7, 1770, Andrew Snape Hannnond. Lieutenant, R. N., commission- ed April 27, 1747, W. Hammond. Paymaster to Out Pen- sioners, Thomas Hammond. Copies and abstracts have been secured of about two hun- dred early Hammond wills in Suffolk and Norfolk, man\- of which are extremely interesting, but space has not allowed of the admission of but few of these in this work. Court and other early records of Suilblk have been thoroughly searched for Hammond evidences, which must be excluded for the same reason. The Parish Registers of Lavenham and surrounding parishes have also had careful attention and the gleanings from a few of these are given below. In most cases these records have been examined for many years after our ancestors had settled on American soil, and some of these are very interesting in showing families and descendants of those who remained in England. The similiarity of family ncirrjes in the fcAV generations after the emigration will al.so be noticed, particulai'ly so in the lamily at Great Waldingiiel'i, not over two miles south of Lavenham.

So far as known he had but the one son, buttliere appear to have been others of the name in Melford, who may have been his sons. (II) JOHN HAMMOND. OF LAVENIIAM. John Hamonde, the clothier, of Laveuham, County of Suffolk, England, born about 1500, son of John Hamonde, of Melford, appears to have been the first of the name to live in Lavenham. He undoubtedly settled tii<.'re in coniviction with the cloth industry, of which Lavenham was at that time the center. So m.auy of the early families of W'atertown and vicinity came from Lavenham and the surrounding country, and as many of them were connected by ties of marriage with the Hammonds, either before the emigration to America or after the settlement here, it is deemed advisable to give a brief sketch of the town and its history in this connection. As seen to-day it is a very interesting old town, with quaint old streets with houses on both sides having overhanging gables. The ancient Market Cross, the curious structure known to-day as the "Old Workhouse," the ancient parish church whicli has been pronounced the most excellent example of late per- pendicular work to be found in all England ; all of these, together with the delightful location and naturally picturesque scenery, go to make up a picture not easily equalled in all East Anglia, The beautiful old church stands in a commanding situation, well calculated to show its mas- sive tower at itxS very best. Tiie great square tower is over 140 feet in height, and looks as if it had never been completed, for the twenty-four coats of arms of Thomas Spring, "the rich clothier of Lavenham," v/ho was one of its builders, reach exactly to the top of the tower, suggesting that a lew fvet more, at least, were meant to be added. The tradition is 48 EARLY II-OniOXD RECOPvDS that the architect was killed by foiling from this to^^e^ when it had reached its present heiglit, and that tins was considered a warning from on high to discontinue the work upon it. The principal part of the church, a>* it stands to-day, was built by the DeVeres, Earls of Oxford, who had a mansion not far away, and a park \yhich took up more than half of the Parish, and by Thomas Spring, between the years Idh'O and 152.J. The vestry and the east end of the chancel aro parts of an earlier church. The interior dimensions of the churcli are 68xlo6 feet. The arms of the DeVeres, who bore on their shields a star, are to be seen in many places. Over the south porcli are six shields, which represent the connection of the DoVert-s with the Howards and other great famihes. The carving and scuhpture are fine and the arms look as fresh as if they were just fashioned by the carver's cliisel. The interior carvings and decorations are beautiful, and the churcli is well considered one of the finest old churches in ail Eng- land. Of the ancient town itself, it is well knowri how the great and wise King Edward IIL impressed with the fact that England v>'as sending her wool to Flanders to be made into cloth, induced the Flemings to come to England and settle and tb.'.is encouraged the manufacture of cloth at home. Lavenham was one of the towns in wdnch tliey iirst settled and it became the center of the cloth trade. The town be- came rich with giant strides, and the " clothiers," as the cloth manufacturers were called, became proud and opulent, some of their sons and grandsons becoming country gentry, and Eords of the ^lanor were raised to knighthood, while others took orders in the cluireh or became men of letters. Notable among tlicse wx^re the Springs and Coi)ingcrs, of Lavenharaj both of v\hirl: fon!ili;\s W'^re (arly represented ir. New Eng- l;i!)d.

I f;;'I — EARLY IIA^IMDXD RECORDS 51 Both the Hammonds and Warrens lived on Hall St., in Melford, and there was considerable intimacy between the families prior to the emigration to America. This intimacy appears to have continued for many years after the emigra- tion. Thomas Hammond married in Lavenhiun, May 14, 1573, Rose Trippe, whose parentage has not been ascertained. She had a brother, William Trippe, who was a witness to Thomas Hammond's will in 1589. Thomas died November 24, 1589, while still a young man, leaving his widow Rose and a family of s)nall children. She married again April 30, 1590, Robert Stuard, (Stew- art) of Lavenham. and continued in j-iosscssion of the estate left by Thomas Hammond until 1647 or after. In the Parish Register, of Lavenhara, there is recorded the birth of a daugh- ter Anne, but no daughter Susan, while his will mentions bis daughter Susann. it is evident that the namt' shoald be. Susanna, as this name occurs frequently in later generations in America. WILL OF THO^LIS HA:MM0XD, or lavemiam, county suffolk, england. In the Name of God, Amen.

PART I. 1 (I) WILLIAM HAMMOND, OF WATERTOWN, MASS. Willi iin Hammoiivl, the emigrant ancestor of this hranch of the family in xlmeiicii, was born in Lavenbam, County of Suffolk, England; where he was baptized October i>0, 157o. Lie was the only survivmg son of Thomas and Rose (rn^roe) Hammond, his younger brother, Thomas, having died in infancy. He was left an orphan by the death of his father in 1589 iind very little can be learned about his early life. He married there June P, IG'So, Elizabeth Paine, and their children were all born in Lavenharn. It is uncertain ju^t when he came to America, as no record has been found, but there are records in Boston of a William Hammond, as early as 1G32, and this may have been the same man. This, how- ever, is very uncertain, as it may have been the \\'illiam Hammond who settled in Lynn, in 1636, and who is supposed to have been the eldest son ot William of Watertown, liorn iu Laveuham in 1007. The llrst positive records of this V\''illiani liammond cWe to be found in Scitnate, M-i.=s., [)rior to 1636, tlie name being found there as " Hamans." Deane's History of Scituate, p. 277, says " he soon deceased or removed" fjoni th'Mv an..] il was iimloubtediy at about this time (1636) that iu- becan::c; a settler in Watertown, as no record ofanearlit-r .^ 54 Vr\TF.KTOV/y, ^lASS. date has been found of him tliere. He piob?-bIy located in Watertown at aboat the same time as did \i\s brothers-in-law, William Paine and Dr. Simon Eire, all of whom seem to iiave followed tlieir brother-in-law, John PaLie. wh.o was one of the first settlor.^. No reeord of the date of arriv::! in America of his elder children has been found and it is supposed that they came with him, two or more years prior to the arrivtd of his wife and younger children, who came in the ship "Francis," from Ipswich, EcLdand, in April, 16:34. It is possible that he came with his eider chil-lren, in company with liis brother- in-law, John P-jge. prior to, or ai>out l6-^>\ Init it hardly seems reasonaljle to suppose that he was here so long before the arrival of his wife and younger children. It is probable that he was in Scituate some time before removing to Watertown. The statement tliat his daugliter, Anne, married Rev. John Lothrop' is not proven, and though there is some evidence to show sucli eonriection it seems iniproljable. Dr. Poland Hammond, in his Hammond Geneology, published in 1894, uses the quotation from Rev. Mr. Lothrop's Journal to establish a connection in his own line, and the lamilv of William Hammond, of Watertown, is su[)posL'd to have been connected with his line in some w:'y. In a note on p;ige 9 of his work I^e says, "Rev. John Lothrop established a church at Scituato Harbor, Mass., and afterwards at Barnstal/ie, Mass. He is said to have married for his second wife, Anne, widow, daughter of William Hammond, of Watertown, Mass,, and had Barnabas, Abigail, Bathshua and John. But the evidence that the widow, Anne, was the daughter of William Ham- mond is far from convincing." The marriage of William's daughter, Elizabeth, to Samuel House, of Scituate, which must have taker, place s* -on after her arrival in this conniiy. however, establislics a connecting link between Scituivte and Watertown, Dean^'s History of Soitu:;g-, p. 2?^9, says, "Samuel House liad lands assigned, by the cv)nnnittee for laying out huvh. in H;:".!, soutli-east of Colman's hill, between the lo^>: of Rev. Mi. Loth.rop and Richard Foxwell. He probably was one of Mr. Lothrop's WILLIAM HAAniONn 55 Church, who came with him from Loiulon." Tiie Pastoral Journal of the Rev. John Lotlivo}), reprinted in the ^. E. Hist. Gen. Register (VoL IX, pp. 279-87; Voh X. pp. 37.-43) contains the following entry : '' Elizabeth Hammond, my sister, having a dismi:?siou from the churoli in Watertown, was joined April 16, 1()38," which shows relation- ship between the fjimilies. If Elizabetii v/as the mother of the elder children of Samuel House she must have been his wife prior to this time, as the records show that he had a daughter Elizabeth baptized in 1636. It seems probable, however, that she M'as - liis second wife and not the mother of this child. Xo record of her marringe has been found and she was a widow at the time of her father's death in 1662, House having died in 1661. It is probaljle that William Hammond's other children were in Scituate with their married sister a part of the time, at least, as the youngest son, John, is recorded tis able to bear arms iliere in 1643. William Hammond was admitted freeman in ^Vatertown, May 25, 1636, and was grantee of seven lots and jairehaser of three lots before 1644. His homestead of 40 acres was situated on the west of Connnon Street. It was hounded on the east and north by lands of liis brother-in-law, Dr. Simon Eire, on the west by John Sim son, Isaac Sterne and John Warren, and on the south by Thomas Boyden. Bond's Plist. of Watertown (p. 1088) says, " It is probable that William Hammond settled first on the Cambridge Road, very near the Cambridge line. Whether this was a grant to him the records do not show. He sold it early and settled on his 40-acre homestall, situated east of Pequusset meadow. He also owned three small lots in Pequusset meadow, one of these granted to him and the other two purchased. This homestall passed to his son (grandson) Thomas." Maivh 10, 1642, in the division of lands, he v/as granted lot Xo. 76, in the 4th Division, containing loo acres, and ihis. with his other holdings, made him one of the largest land owners in the town. The records do not show th:it he was often an oiiice holder in the town and this may have been due to his independence in religious 56 WATERTOWX, MASS, matters, which uiay have made him unpopular v.'ith his more puritanical neighbors, although he does not appear to have been so unpopular as some of his most intimate friends. iiis near neighl^or and niost intimate friend appears to have been John AVarren, who came from the same locality in Suffolk County, England, and between whose family and his own there appears to have been consideralde intimacy for several generations prior to the settlement in America. Mr, Warren seems to have had even less regard for the rigid puri- tanical regulations of the time tlurn his friend, Hammond, and to have become rather more unpopuhvr thereby. In Oct. 1651, Warren was fined 20 shillings "for an oflensc against the laws concerning baptism," and April 4, 1654, "for neglect of publick worship" 14 Sabbaths at 5 shillings each. March 14, 1658, he was ordered to be " warned lor not atten;ling publick v/orship," but '• old Warren was not to be found in town." May 27, 16G1, the houses of "old Vuirren and Good- man Hammond" were ordered to be seiirched for Quakers, for whom they were known to have considerable sympathy. Considerable independence in religious matters, great love of liberty and sympathy for all who are persecuted for con- science sake seem to have been inherent family traits for generations past. It is probable that William Hammond and his intimate friend, Warren, were both inclined towanl the religious teaching of Roger Williams, but were too conser- vative to stibject themselves to the persecution which his more radical followers were compelled to endure. This view is supported by the fact that many of their descendants were rigid adherents of the Baptist Church. The tendency, how- ever, in this family has been toward great liberty of thought in religious matters and many of the descendants have been connected with the Unitarian and Universalist denomi- nations, vsdiile many in the later generations have held mem- bership in no chun-h. There is not, so far as is known, a clergyman of the name among the descendants of William HamnionfJ, but on the other hand no criminal records have been found. The ,trj. d^ Yv'ILl.IAM ilA^DIOND 57 research has been very thorough and complete aiul the free- dom from aiiv taint of crime or known innnorality nmst prove verv gratifying to the descendants. The standard of intelhcjence and general education has been very high, but it is to bo deeplv regretted that tliere have been so few college men in the famiiv, even where the wealth and position have been such that a college education could have been obtained without any grt:at di'flicuUy. All, so far as known, have been great readers, studious and thoughtful people,, honorable, upriL;ht and law-abiding, but rather too modest and retiring by nl.ture and n-t given to pushing forward in public matters. The inventorv of ibe estate of " :^[r. Nathaniel Sparrowhawke/' of Cambridge, Mass., who died June 27, 1G47, mentions among the assets sums owing from " Old Warren " and " Old Ham- mon.l," of Watertown. (See N. E. Hist, Gen. Register, Vol. Vii). The will of William Hammond is on file at East Cam- bridge, Mass., (Middlesex Probate No. 7167), dated July 1, IGG-i'; proved Dec. 16, 1672. He leaves to wife Elizabeth, his whole estate during her life. To son, John, all lands, &c. after her death. To Thomas Hamond, "sonne of my sonne, Tliomas .

Tliere • was but one heir, his wi'iow being dead, and that heir a iriinor child and the controversy must have arisen over the guardian- '„ ship of his son ami the custody of his property during his minority. April 4, 1654, his nephew, Tini(:»thy Hawkins, Jr., .• chose him as his guaixlian. '■] His widow, Hannah (Cross) Hammond, survived hira .• but a little over a year. She died March 24, 1657. She made '^ her will March 19, 1657, five days prior to her decease, proV> | ably then knowing that her end was near and wishing to 'j make every arrangement possible for her infant son, who was | so soon to be doubly orphaned.

Feb. 23, 1678-79 ; dau. of Ensign Abel, and Lydia Piatt. (TIatts) of Rowley. Mass., and widow of Samuel Lancaster, who was drowned in Rowley River, Sept. 19, 1710, He was left an orphan when but a few months of age. His grandfather, William Hammond, died when he was but four years of age and his grandmother, Cross, surviving but a few years, it is probaljle that his uncle, Lirut. John Hammond, of Watertown, took charge of his bringing up and education. He appears tohavebeen much bettereducated than the average man of his time. He was a fine penman as is sliown by specimens of his handwriting which are still in existence. It seems that he had some military training in his younger days, probably owing to the influence of his uncle, Lieut. John, and ht; is credited with service in King Philip's war, in the Companies of Capt. Josepli Syll, in 1675, and Capt. Joseph Cutter, in 1676. It is probable that he took an active part in the military affairs later in life as he is mentioned as " Lieut." in the records at Ipswich. Growing up as he did without parental restraint he early learned self-reliance anrl became one of the most active, enterprising men of the locality in ^^•hich he lived. The following account found on page 143, of the Essex County Geneological Register, shows the characteristics of the man : "Thoma.^ Ilainiuon.I if livins^ now v,oul,l be one of our !il>oral men. Paul Jewef.t, who wa~ rtniteaifiorary with him, rei>ort^ him thror.^'h his son Dea.

He wa^^l- rn tr.u early; the stiff orthotloxy of hi.s day condemned him. and the ' faithful' said the Devil held him. It became the v,-hispered .^ecret that 'Tom iianuuond had WATERTOWX, MASS. 73 eoia himself to the Devil.' Thne passed, 'Tom' kept business in a whirl I and made money. lie owed .several of his townsmen, as would be natural with a man who drove his business. Go.ssip v.as rife and 'Tom' resolved to test it— in modern phase he suspended. Then calling in his creditor!?, vho were also his accusers, he said : ' Gentleaien, there are two piles ot" money ; the larger pile is ample to pay you all. but I got it through Satanic iniluc-nce, and you must take the responsibility of its spell upon you. The other pile will pav you only a small dividenil, but it is free. I hoarded it before I made a league with the I)e\il. Take which you will and sign a releav^e.' They took the smaller pile. Few people now-a-n[OXD love." The farm is (lescribed as fo]lo^vs : " Bounded on ye cart way which lyeth next ye line yt parts Ipswich and Rowley, and on ye N. W. side by Bradstreet form, so-called, containing 100 acres, subject to a yearly lien which John Cross, the former owner, put upon said farm for the support of ye Grammar school." The deed is witnessed by Nehemiah Jewett, Philip Nelson and Elizabeth (her X mark) Buo- (Essex Registry 25 ; 243.) Nov. 7, 1717, he conveyed " for love and afffction to my son-in-law, Ephraim Jewett— thatch lot on Rogers island in Ipswich an I new up-land lot at Jeffries." His wife, Hannah, relincjuished lier right of dower in the same. (E^sex Ret^i^trv 32 ; 203.) "" " ^ May 23, 1724, Thomas Hammond "in consideration of parental love which I bear my son, Thomas Hammond of W'atertown." conveyed to him a salt marsh in Ipswich with the proviso that, "• should I die before my now present wile my said son, Thomas, shall pay to my said wife the sum of £40, provided she doth acquit rights of .lower, or power of thirds in all of my estate according to Covenant, and not else." Thomas was also required to pay his brothers, David and Nathaniel Hammond, £'> each. Proved in Court April 13, 1725, by witnesses Nathaniel Knowlton and Thomas Man- ning, to have been the deed of Thomas Hannnond, late of 'Ipswich, deceased. (Essex Registry 44 ; ] 58.) March 28, 1724, he conveyed "to my daughter Elizabeth Jewett, the now wife of Ephraim Jewett, in consideration of parental love," Occ, lands in Ipswich and Rowley. (Essex Registry 44 ; 1G2.) By a deed proved in Court April 13, 1725, "in consider- ation of parental love," -etc., he conveyed lands to his two dau-htcrs, Hannah and Mary Hammond, minors, of Ipswich; " my daughter, Hannah, must pay to my dauirhter, Sarah Lambert, ^iO, and my daughter, Marv, shall pav to my daughur, Elizabeth Jewett, oeiO." (Essei Registry 45 ; 29.) His daughter, Hannali, afterwards married Lieut. Nath- aniel Bradstreet, and the lands then deeded to htr have since if >!.!y/ WATERTOWN, MASS. 75 remained in possession of her descendants and are now owned (1897) and occupied by John Francis Bradstreet, who has in his possession the original deed given by Thomas Hammond in 1724. This deed is a finely executed document, written in a bold old English hand, and has a fine signature showing him to have been a good penman at that advanced age, a characteristic of tlie family for many generations. Thomas Hammond was selectman in Watcrtown in 1694 and 1G96. He was witness of the will of John Bond in Watertown, Feb. 2(3, 1690. He was executor of the will of his kinsman, Timothy Hawkins, in Watertown, in 1697. Children, 2d marriage: 45. 1. Hannah, b. Nov, 15, 16S0 ; d. Jan. 13, 1691-92, 46* 2. Sarah, b.

About 1817 he moved to Dorchester, Mass., wherein that part of the town known as Neponset, he established a carriage and harness manufactory in company with his brother, William, and continued at this location for about 30 years. Among his many patrons and friends was Daniel Webster, who made frequent stops while driving from Boston to his home in Marshlield. Oct. 11, 1820, he was married to Mary Ann Clapp, of Dorchester, who was a descendant of Capt. Roger, and also of Nicholas Clapp, the early settlers of Dorchester! On the same day her sister, Hannah, was married to John Tolman, the double wedding being quite an event in Dorchester, all the parties being well known and popular. After residing in Dorchester about 30 years they removed to Woburn, following their eldest son, Joseph, who had located there. They located on Auburn St., where they spent the remainder of their days. Jonathan Hammond was a man who commanded universal respect ; a typical gentleman of the old school ; moderate in his movements, of exemplary habits ; honest, straight-forward, consciencious, careful of his language, temperate in all things. He died at the ripe old age of 8S years and 7 months, leaving a stainless and honorable name. The following account of the celebration of the goiden wedding of this worthy couple is copied from the " Middlesex County Journal," (Woburn) issue of Oct. 15, 1870: GOLDEN WEDDING. "A veryinteres^ting occurrence transpired on Tuesday evening last at the residence of Mr. Jonathan Hammond. This being the fiftieth anniversary of the wedding of ^Ir.

When he was seventeen years of age his father gave him his time and such was his thrift that at the age of twenty he had saved enough to justify him in taking a wife and seeking his fortune in what was then the wilds of western New York. In 1831, he with his parents removed to Caneadea, Allegany Co., N. Y. la March, 1832, both families removed to Hume, purchasing a tract of fine farming land on the Genesee river. Here he made his home until he ..)./i .1) f^YS J .. 124 WILLIA:M HAM3I0XD was stricken with pnralysis in 1883, when he made his home with his chil(h-en until the time of his death. He was a sincere christian, a strong advocate of the temperance cause. At the age of nineteen he, with a few other young men, formed the first temperance society in the locality. In poli- tics he was an old line whig, going from that party over the Free Soil bridge into Republicanism. An ardant poli- tician, a strong party man, he was in politics as in every other relation of life, an incorruptably honest. God-fearing man. In 1849, he took a contract for the construction of four miles of the Genesee Valley Canal, which he completed in the following year. In 1851 he was appointed Superinten- dent of the canal, which office he held for three years, dis- charging the duties thereof in a thoroughly honorable manner. During the civil war he took an active part in sending men to the front, and one son gave his life at ^lalveru Hill. He was elected Supervisor of his town many times, was Member of Assembly in 1858. and delegate to the State Con- stitutional Convention in 1867. In 1868 he was nominated by the Republican State Convention for the office of Canal Commissioner, but with the balance of the ticket was defeated in the election. lie died at the residence of his youngest son, Charles H.

Feb. 8, 1699, dau. of Moses and Hannah (Platts) Platts, by whom he had no children. David was a farmer living near the boundry line between Ipswich and Rowley and there was a continual controversy between the towns of Rowley and Ipswich as to which town the farm belonged in. This controversy was not finally settled until some years after his death, when on May o, 1784, this farm then occupied by his son, David, was "sett off" to Rowley. On this account the children of this family were some of them recorded in both towns, while some appear only on the church records of Rowley, where David belonged. It is possible that he had other children of whom no record is now to be found. His son, Jonathan, probably never married as no record of his marriage or family can be found. .:■ ;(!/.'^/. 1 t . .' . i -;• ' .if .^jjAi'i "y,-'.

Doctor Ham- mond was a self made man, whose useful career emphasizes the possible attainment of those who possess courage and per- severance. He obtained all the knowledge possible in the district schools of his native place, and beyond that fought his way single-handed to graduation in the profession he had chosen for hi? life work. In his youth he had his every day task for a higher education, and finally studied medicine and surgery at New York, Boston, Dartmouth Medical college and Harvard Medical college, graduating at the latter m 1840 with the degree of M. D. He settled in Nashua immediately and steadily })racticed his profession for more that forty years. Doctor Hammond, in his thorough knowledge of medicine and surgery, had practical and common sense method as well as a skillful and collegiate basis. He could read human nature " like a book " and was therefore enabled to prescribe effectively in all forms of disease and to all classes of patients. That he had the confidence of the people was recognized in a marked degree by the attorneys of the county, who sought him among the first as an expert witness in diflicult cases, know- ing that what Doctor Hammond said would be believed in preference to the testimony of college professors who had abundant theory and but limited practice. This was due, also, in a great measure, to the use of easy terms and a lucid explanation that was peculiarly his own method. He sought to make clear rather than make a mystery. He had an ex- tensive antl successful practice from which he retired some 1 »! ; M '. .\ i'.:n,:L : /;.v:'I .:iO. (IIIY) Hi' -r.-Mr.,:!. 168 \V1LL1A:M HAMMOND years before his death, mainly because of advancing age and a fracture of the bones of his leg which made it difficult for him to travel any great distance. Yet such was his reputa- tion that, for several years after his retirement, his services were in frequent demand, especially among families within whose circles he had for many years been the trusted physi- cian and faithful friend. He was an active member of the Xew Hampshire Medical Society. But Doctor Hannnond was not alone a Nashua physician. He was an active man in the affairs of the town and later of the city. Good government, good schools, church privileges, progress in every department of human endeavor, banking and a Imndied and one things that were of concern to a citizen claimed his attention and found him a wise supporter. He held town offices from time to time and represented it in the legislature in 1847 and 1848. When Nashua became a city in 1853 he f^al in her first com- mon council, and in 1SG6 and 1867 served on the board of aldermen. He was city physician in 1862, ] 866 and 1867, and for ma)iy years was a member of the board of education. During Governor Berry's administration, in the exciting days of the civil war, he was commissioned examining surgeon for exemption from draft for Hillsborough county, and was later appointed United States examining surgeon in cases of appli- cation for pensions, a position which he held fifteen years to the entire satisfaction of the government and the veterans. Besides these public duties he was one of the inceptors and promoters of the Second National bank, serving on the board of directors for many years. He was also treasurer of the Mechanics Savings bank and so great was the confidence oi the people in him, he invested safely, large sums of money for friends and acquaintances. At the time of his death he was president of the York Boach ct Harbor railroad and of tlie Crosby Invalid Bed company. Doctor Hammond v.-as united in marriage Dec. 23, 1841, with Sarah Ann Adams. Mrs- Hammond was born in AValtham, Mass., Dec. 12, 1816, (died Jan. 15, 1898, since the above was written.) She was a daughter of Phinehas Adams, bom Sept, 14, 1789, and Sarah .; // !:VJ:> •■)(') 1< WATEPvTOWN, MASS. 169 \V.

Nov. 5, 1855, d. of Dr. William A. Tracy, of Nas.hua. N. H. Doctor Hammond was educated in the public schools of Nashua, at Crosby's Literary Institute, and at Darmouth College, entering in 1873 and graduating in 1877 with the degree of A. B., and in 1880 tliat of A. M. He studied medi- cine at the Harvard Medical School, from which he was grad- lo ..n :/. 204 WILLIAM HA>LMOND uated in 18.^0 with the dcL^ree of M. I). Dr. Ilanimoiia suceoeded his father, letainiiiL;' otiice and patients. The public quickly discovered that he was a worihy successor of a physi- cian and surgeon who had their confidence for more' tlian four decades and the result is shown in the fact that his practice rapidly increased, until to-day there is not a busier man in his profession in the State or one who is more souglit after as an expert witness before the courts, or for consultation in critical cases of both medicine and surgery. Doctor Hammond, following in the footsteps of an honored sire, is an active man outside of his profession. He finds time to serve the public in many ways. He is a member of the Harvard Medical Alumni Association, a member and censor of the New Hampshire^redical Society, was secretary of the United States Board of Pension Examiners at Xasliua from 1889 till 1893, and from 1897 to 1901 and a member of the Nashua Medical Association. Dr. Hammond took an active and ellective part, giving time, money and surgical instruments, in estai^lishing the city emergency hos[)ital; is a member of its executive conmiittee and of its medical staff. [le lias served Hill.-borough county four years as county physician, and Nashua as city physician and chairman of the board of health in 1894, doing the most effective work in its history in stamping out contagions dis- eases, and making a record as a conspicuous and ctiicient public oificial that was recognized by the city council by re-electing him to l)oth positions for the year 1895. Dr. Hammond was elected a member of the Board of Education in 1H92 for a term ending in 1898, and is counted as one of the best informed and most enthusiastic educators in southern New Hampslure. He is in fact an enthusiast in school matuts, and gives considerable of his time and atten- tion to the study of the ditl'eretit methods of instruction in countries where the free school system prevails. He is quick to ]>crceive and appreciate any improvement upon our own, and zealous in urging its ado}>tion. The zeal which he shows in looking after the welfare of 1204. 1. 1205. 2. 1206. 3. 1207. 4.

He was chairman of the subcommittee of the school board employed in the building of one of Nashua's most modern and approved school houses, and has been, chairman of the text book committee for the last six years. He is a member of Rising Sun Lodge, A. F. and A. M.; Meridan Royal Arch Chapter, St. George Commandery, K. T., and a Scottish Rite ^hison of the 32d degree.

Each of these lots was numbered and the pr(^ prietors drew " lots" for their numbers. Nathaniel drew lot No. 18, for his son-in-law, (step-son) John Chamberlain ; No. 27 for himself and No. 35 for his son, Jonathan. " At a proprietors meeting held at the house of Capt. Nathaniel Hammond, in Lower Ashuelot, (Swanzey) Oct. 26, 1737, it was voted tliat Capt. Nathaniel Hammond, Benjamin Heywood, Charles Lumis, Samuel Plills and Thomas Cresson be a committee to lay out the fifth division of lots." This is the first house of which mention can be found in Swanzey. It stood where the house of ]\Irs. Woodcock now stands in Swaazey Center. " At a meeting held Dec. 28, 1738," the proprietors " Voted: to buy 18 lbs. of powder and 36 lbs. of lead, for a proprietors stock, which shall be left in the hands of Capt. Nathaniel Hammond." At a meeting held Dec. 22, 1740, " Nathaniel Hammond, Abraham Graves and Jolni Evans were chosen a committee to finish the fort which has been begun around Capt. Nath- aniel Hammond's house." The Nathaniel first mentioned undoubtedly being his son, Nathaniel, Jr. His son, Jona- than, came to Swanzey with his father in 1735 or 36. The other sons followed at intervals of a few months or years, Thomas probably coming there about the time of his mari'iage. There is no record of his j'oungest daughter, Bridget, ever having been a resident in Swanzey, although two of her sons settled there and another owned land there. .John is not mentioned in the " History of Swanzey " at all. Probably he never had a permanent residence there. Capt. Nathaniel became a large land owner, he and his sons owning at one time about three thousand acres of land in Swanzey, besides considerable tracts in other towns in N. H. and Vt. In 1747 the inhabitants were all driven from their homes by Indians. Tliey sunk their iron utensils in their wells or buried them and fled to Mass. for safety. The town was? burned bv the foe and rnanv of the former inhabitants, having iniflhVl i» 232 WILLIAM HAjLMOND become discouraged by the frequent depredations of the savages, never returned. Tlie Hammonds, however, soon returned with the exception of tlie two younger children, Oliver and Bridget, who sought a home witli their uncle, David, and other kinsmen in Ipswich, where they remained. ^'athaniel (who is always mention as ''Capt." Nathaniel in the records of the p.eriod.) was a man of indomitable will and a natural born leader in every enterprise. He was essentially a pioneer and was one of ths most prominent men in the affairs of the early settlers. He was well educated for the time and an excellent penman, as is shown by records now extant. He was generally clerk of the proprietors meetings and served on nearly every committee chosen by the early settlers. (See "Hist, of Swanzey,'' by Col. Benjamin Read. "History of Gilsum," by Rev.

Samuel Willard's 4th ]Mass. Regt. under Gen. Sir Wni. Peppcrell in the Louis- burgh expedition in 1745.^ He seems to have settled in Palmer, Mass., about 1728 or '29, and built the first grist mill where Ware village now stands. He bought v;hat was known as the Hollingworth grant of 500 acres for £400, and was a man of large means. Tradition represents him to have been a man of great shrewdness and energy, a mighty hunter, and that Indian blood ran in his veins. Appearances seem to indicate that he was a descendant of James Olmsted, who came in the " Lyon," Sept. 16, 1632. Capt. Olmsted married about 1710-'ll, Thankful, dau. of Thomas Barnes, and had eleven children, of whom Martha was the fifth.

Little is now known of him; he appears to have been a quiet, retiring man who rather shunned any prominence in public affairs. He erected a family tomb in Swanzey cemetery to the memory of liis parents. 1446 (VI) Aaron Hammond, (Thomas^) son of Thom^^s and Martlia (Olmstead) Hammond, was b. in Swanzey, N.

Her parentage has not been ar^certained, but it seems very probable that she was of the family of Woodwards which came from Sutton, Mass., and settled in Marlboro, ^^ H., some years prior to his marriage. Little has been learned of this family in Sutton and it^is probable that they had not long resided there when they removed to New Hampshire. There seems to be little, if any doubt of her decent from (Jeorge and Elizabeth (Hammond) Woodward, the early settlers of Watertown. Mass. This would include her decendants in the line of Thomas Hammond, of Newton, as well as in the line of William of Watertown. It is probable that her father was Jonas Wood- ward, b. Feb. 8, 1712, in Newton, Mass.; m. 1734, Mary Cook, of Needham. Mass. This family left Newton and presumably removed to Sutton. This Jonas had a son Jonas born in Newton who was probably the Jonas Woodward that settled hiter in Marlboro, N. H. It is known that she had a sister, Rebecca Woodward, who became the 2d wifeof Elijah Osgood, of Swanzey. N. H., and the step-mother of Lucy Osgood, v/ife of Aaron Ilammonrl. Jr. If these premises are corrt^ct she was left an orphan some years before her marriage which accounts for the dithculty in tracing her ancestry.

In 1782 he sold liis lands in Swanzey and purchased land of Moses Belding in the part of Gilsum whicli has ever since borne the name of " Hammond Hollow," and on which there was a log house into which he moved his family. In 1785 lie built the frame house which is now the sugar house owned by iSIrs. T. T, Clark. "He drew the boards from vSwanzey with an ox team and spoilt and shaved his own shingles and cla[> boards, some of which were sound and bright one hundred years later. He took an active part in organizing the Congre- gational Church in Gilsum and was one of tlie signers of the charter. lie paid the sum of 'Six pounds, thirteen shillings for pew No. 1,' at the first sale of pews. He was tithingman from 1789 to 1793 ; school committee in 1790 ; moderator in 1791 and selectman four years. He was the progenitor of all the Hammonds of Gilsum. * * This has always been one of the leading fimilies of the place, and though mostly scattered at present, those who have gone to other places have main- tained the reputation of the family elsewhere." (Hist. Gilsum. p. 209.) His v,-ife, Rachel (Woodward) Hammond was one of the most respected and influential women of the town. The following extract from the New Hampshire Sentinel, of Dec. 19, 1812, shows something of the esteem in which she was held : "Dioii, in Gil~um, on the 6th inst., IMrs. Rachel Hammond, wife of ;Mr. Aaron Haniinond ; a«jred 70 years. Her exemplary attachments, as a wife, a mother, and a friend were never surpassed in those endearing relations. >he ever perfonned every duty to the utmost extent of a generous, disinterested affection. As a ilaughter of Zion she constantly exhibited that meekness, charity and V>enev'^lence which are ever hij^hly ornaaiental to the Chun-h of, Christ, of which she wa.s a respected member. A firm and fervent piety characterized her uniform conduct from her early youtli to her liL-t moments. She trusted for acceptance with GckI only through the merits and sufferiajr of her a'lored Redeemer. She spent her last expii-ins: breath in prayer ; and praisin-jr Uod.

Hearing others read she would repeat the words after them and called it reading. In this way she read the Bible through more than once.

IT., in the previous year. His parents soon retunied to Swanzey, ho.vever, and he was brought up there. He married in Sutton, Mass., Feb. 16, 1773, his cousni, Mehitable Prime, b. ia Rowley, Mass., Ang. 29, 1755, dau. of Joshua and Bridget (Hammond) Prime, who removed to Sut- ton, Mass., about 1769.

The following letter written by his daughter, Mrs. Mehitable (Hammond) Rice, to her nephew^ Capt. Russell Prime Hammond, contains all that remained in that branch of the family history and traditions, and while it contains some inaccuracies it is given in full, as it contains the only authentic account of the removal of this family to Canada. (The original, now in possession of Capt. Hammond, has been slightly defaced by mice and a few words are entirely eaten away. These defects are marked with * *.) St. Jonys, 20 Jamiar\', 186L Dear Nephew: I remember you a«ktHl me some year? since for ini'orm- ation on the subject of our ancesiors, and something at the time interveninir, which cau-seda delay — and since I have not hail a convenient opportunity of a pei>onal communication. I resolved to make no longer delay, and havincr it in Avriting you can always refer to it, as our memories do not always serve ns, and -we should not remain in ignorance of our progenitors. I now com- merce by infonning you that both the Hammond and Prime families origin- ^'.I •V) WATERTOWN, MASS. 253 ally came from England, and emigrated to the United States o! America, something like two centurys f-dnce. My memory only serves me to speak confidently so far back as your great grandfather— yes, I can go one genera- tion more remote on my father's side and say my great grandfather Ham- mond, (his given name I do not remember,) but he and two of his brothers made a purchase of the best part of the township of Swanzey, in Xew Ham- shire, av here thev took up their residence, sometime about, (I think) the midd'le of the last century, 1700. His son Thomas Hammond inherited his estate in that place after his father, who died at the age of about 60, leaving three sons and one daughter, and my father Isaac Hammond being one of them, and who had ever lived with his father Thomas Hammond, became his successor to the family estate by an arrangement with the other brothers. But unfortunately for hirn and his family he subsequently became involved. Naturally of a most kind and ol^liging .Iispositi.:.n, lie }eiMed to the persua- sion and" became security for a friend in trouble to a large amount and to the ruin of hi- earthly prospects. Being in consequence obliged to dispose of his valuable property and the inheritance of his fore-fathers at a very great gacrifiee, a misfortune deeply deplored by both my poor father and mother, and which was the means of bringing them to Canada with their * * * children where we all landed on the 9th of October (I think) in the year 1794, at Cal'hveils :\ranor. In the following summer my father went on business to All)any, X. Y., where he caucht the smallpox, which was pre- vailing at that time, and of which he died. I think the 24th of June, 1795, with bright hope? of immortal glory, and in his 46th year. I will now give you some outline of my nmther's, the Brime family, which lived in the town of Rowley, Mass. Joshua Prime, your father's grandiatlier, after whom he was called Joshua Prime Hammond. Our grandfather Prime succeeded to his father's estate in Rowley, where he continued to reside until my mother was of the atre of 15 years. He then with my grandmother, (who was also a Hammond of the same family), and all of his family, three sons ami three daughters, emigrated to Sutton, a distance of about 60 miles. I believe that is also in the state of Massachusetts. They were successful agriculturi-ts.^ His three sons, brothers of my mother, subsequently removed to the Town of Swanzey, New Hampshire ; all agriculturists— and there continued to live during their hfetimes. Uncle Prime, of New York, l)eingthe younszest and only one of that family, with the exception of my mother, that you can have anv knowledge of, was born a few weeks after his father's decease.

He was very active in the War of the Revolution and saw more active service perhaps than any other of the Swanzey Hammonds. He enlisted for eight months in his father's company April 21, 1775, and marched wiih the company to Cambridge where he remained with the other eight months men when the balance of the company returned home. He was there when the baitie of Bunker Kill was fought and undoubtedly participated in the battle. After the expiration of liis eight months' service he re-enlisted for the winter and Sept. 22, 177<), he again enlisted in the company mustered by his father on that date and went with tiie regiment to White Plains. He was corporal in Capt. Jonathan Whitcomb's Co., Col. James Reeds Regt., while at Cambridge. (>;. H. State Papers, Voi. 14, pp. 92, 202, 203.) While in service in New York he was in Capt. John Houghton's Co., Col. Baldwin's Regt. (N. H. State Paper.?, Vol. 14, p. 428.) Very little further is now known about him as the records of Swanzey are very incomplete for many years after the close of the revolution and his descendants iiave been all away from the town for many years past.

He was placed under the guardianship of his step-father, Peletiah Cummings, when his mother married again, and appears to hav^e been a thrifty youth as he was taxed in Topsfield in 1776, when he was but 20 years of age. He was a revolutionary soldier in Capt. Stephen Perkins' company, which marched on the Lexington Alarm April 19, 1775. (Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in War of Revolution.) He was the ovrner and occupant of the old Stephen Perkins farm in Topsfield for many years. This farm is now, or recently was, owned and occupied by Rev. George L. Gleason. Pie was a man of more than ordinary intelligence and for many years was tlie most prominent man in town. He was representative to the general court several years, selectman 26. years, town treasurer many years, served as tythingman and was town clerk 19 years in succession. He is said to have lost much of his property before bis death. Edward, b. March 7, 1780. Stephen, b. Feb. 13, 1785. Abigail, b. Jan. 7, 1794 ; d. Jan. 11, 1818. 1461 (VI) Sarah Hammond, (Oliver') b.

He was always highly respected by ; his former employer and his family, and they had many busi- i ness transactions in later years. The decendants of Nathaniel i Prime have always maintained the family prestige and are I among the most highly respected residents of New York City. Nathaniel Prime, always, during his life, kept up a cor- ; respondence with his Hammond relatives and evinced a ! friendly interest in their affairs, and many old letters bearing j his signature are among the treasured papers of the descend- j ants of his nephew Josiah Prime Hanmiond. A very neat I and attractive genealogy of his descendants, in pamphlet form, I printed for private circulation, was compiled a few years ago ' by Temple Prime, Esq., to whom the writer is indebted for many of his recoid.^ of this family. Tlie double connection ; between this family and the Hammond family makes it of ' especial interest to the many decendants. I Children : 1554. 1. Emily Frances, (Prime) b.

Good souls : and that the world might see Their works of love and charity Displaye<:l as public as they oould, A box they made, M'hich yawning stood AVithin the aforesaid tavern, wluther These folks most often met together — A "gull trap" called by some howe'er Is-Q matter what the name, or where It stoots, au'i other presents rare, "With gowits for la.ly squaws to wear, Were here deix^siteil 1 and some, As poor as church mice, faith will come With aprons stuffe^l with goodly things, Pure mi-ssionary offering'^, Ami safely lodge them in the box Beciaiise the deed is orth<>doxJ :<'ji' 270 \^^LLIA3I HA3IM0XD And is it reader, thus decreed That conntry folks must clothe and feed Those savage children far away. And tell their own go naked? Say ? Say, where in the Scripture is't we find ^ Commands thns lavish to be kind To foreign people, while our own For bread ai-d clothing freeze and groan? The book expressly says that one "Who does not amply for his own Provide is worse, oh sad to tell, Is worse than w hat ? An Infidel. Would it not l^etter be for some To keep their charity at home? Or use it oitener for the good Of sufferei-s in theirneighborhood? Nay, priestcraft sly has other ways To show their hearere now-a-days To se!^•e the Lord than doing good To one another as they should — " Stint youi"seli and cheat your neighber To pay for priests' pernicious labor." Notwithstanding his apparent lack of orthofloxy and frequent sarcastic comments on the customs of tliose who were more strictly orthodox in tlieir opinions, John Ham- mond was very pojuilar with a large majority of the people. He was honorable, upright and just in all his dealings, kind hearted, generous and charitable to a fault, and while his wit probably cut deeply into the vanity of some of the most rigidly orthodox people he v/as generally forgiven, and highly respected for his many virtues, while his superior education and great business ability gave him a foremost place in civil affairs.

Nov. 28, 1799, Mehitable Bill, b. June 1, 1778, d. June 8, 1857, dciu. of Ebenezer and Rachel (Root) Bill. Her parents were both born in Hebron, Conn. Rachel Root was the dau. of Ebenezer and Rachel (Skinner) Root, of Hebron, Conn., and a descendant 'of Thomas Root, b. Badby, England, Jan. 16, 1605, who came to America in 1637. She was a great grand- daughter of Sampson and Mary (Daniels) Frary who were in the massacre at Deerfield, Mass., in King Philip's war. Josiah bought the north part of his father's farm in Gilsum and built a house on it which he occupied during the remainder of his life. He and his sister Martha were married on the same dav at their father's house, the affair being very elabor- ate for the time and the number of guests large. He served the town as moderator many years, was town agent in 1824, town clerk fifteen years, selectman many years, tytliingman and school connnitloe several years and was elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 1830. He suf- fered from paralysis during the last few years of his life and was unable to move about freely. During this time he read much and wrote some, connnenting freely on all that he read. He devoted considerable time to a careful reading of the Bible. Considerable of his manuscript is still in existence and in the possession of his great grandson. He was not orthodox in his religious views and was a close friend of Ab- ner Kneeland, whose religious opinions he shared. He was not aggressive, having great respect for the rights and feelings of others, and this probably saved him in a great measure from the malice of tlie bigoted and narrow-minded. Before the abolition of church rates in New England a widow with a family of small children lived in Gilsum who could not raise the money to pay her church rates. Her only cow, the chief means of support for herself and family, was seiz. d and sold to satisfy the claim. Josiah Hammond bid off the cow and L .11 -;.l \y 272 WILLIAM nA:\niOND told the widow to dri\e her home and keep her until he called for her. He never called for the cow and the widow continued in peaceable possession as she could not be seized again on account of the ownership being vested in 'Squire Hammond. He was a thrifty farmer and a progressive citi- zen until bodily infirmities confined him to the house. Like nearly every other member of tlie Gilsum branch of the family, he was a very large, powerful man, v>-eighing over 200 pounds. His wife, Mchitabel Bill, was a lineal descendant of John and Anne (Mountford) Bill, of Much Wenlock, Shropshire, England, v;hose only son, John, came to America as early as 1635 and settled at Ipswich, Mass., removing later to New London, Conn. Pier fatlier, Ebenezer Bill, was born in Hebron, Conn., Jan. 19, 1750-1, and after his marriage removed to Gilsum, N. H. He was a Kcvolutionary soldier in Capt. Elisha Mack's Co., Col. Ashley's Regt., (6th N. H.) and one of the most prominent men in the early history of the town. She was well educated for the time and a very intelligent woman. Her sister, Rachel Bill, was a noted school teacher and a frequent contributor of both prose and poetry to the publications of the time. Children : 1620* 1. Geoiige Wasiiingtox, b.

Almost immediately after the death of his father, Joshua, then at the age of 14 years, was apprenticed to Ephraim Sanford, a worthy liatter of Montreal, whom he served faithfully for seven years as is shown by the document of which the following is a copy : " And on the twenty-fir?t day of April, in the year One Thou.-and Ei'/ht Hundred and Two ; Personally appeared before the .sul)scribing Public Notaries, the within named Kphraiui Sanford, who declared that the within named Joshuah llamiiiond, his apprentice, having attained the full age of >-^.;.M :> 1 iL-f«-'^ -.-,....1^.1 ^ a iiu I'^iMii^^ '! -> eoar I .i- •( ore 274 WILLIAM HAMMOND Twenty-one years, he doth hereby in consequence discharge him of his servitude, declaring that his said apprentice hath honestly and faithfully dis- charged his duty of which act the said Ephraini Sanford having hereunto subscribed his name with us the said Notaries, these presents havdng been first duly read.

Among the letters still preserved are the following: Montreal, 9th Octo^ 1800. Deae Uncle : I embrace the opportunity of Capt. Sanford's going to New York to inform you that my mother and I are well; likewise to acknowledge the receipt of your kind letter. With respect to further iufonnatlon, I refer you to Capt. Sanford, w-ho will deliver you these line:-. I shall al-.vayb esteem it a mark of vour favor every time 1 hear from you. I remain, Dear rncie, Your affectionate Nephew and very humble servant, Joshua P. IIahmond. New Y'okk, 26 April, 1801. Dear Joshua : I have been much gratified with a visit from Mr. Sanford. He appears a gentleman of much good sense and worth. He appears to take an interest in your happiness and welfare, and you may con- sider yourself fortunate in ha\-ing your apprenticeship with so good a man. By Mr. Sanford you will receive a watch, which you will please receive as a mark of mv affectionate regard. May it prove a faithful monitor of passing time, and never reproach you with an hour ill-spent, either to yourself, your country or friends. It will ever give me pleasure to hear of your welfare, and see you happy. Whenever you find it convenient to call on me, I shall give vou a welcome reception. It is my intention to make your mother a visit in the course of two or three years, in that case shall certainly go as far as Montreal. Very affectionately yours, Nath'l Prime. After serving out his apprenticeship with Mr. Sanford, in Montreal, Joshua went to Norwich, Conn., where he worked at his trade of a hatter and met and married his wife. He then removed to Gray, Me., where their firdt child was born in 1805. He remained here but a short time when he went to Massachusetts, where he remained several years, during which time he served in the State militia.

To him the author of this work owes the respect for, and love of the family name, that has led him to persevere for more than ten years in the collection of material for a family memorial. Doctor Hammond was one of the most prominent men of his native town and no one has received more attention in the " History ot Gilsum " than is given to his life. The fol- lowing extract from that volume, page 182, gives a brief and concise account of his life and the esteem in which he was held : " George Washington Hammond was one of Gilsum's most distinguished citizens. A long and dangerous sickness from disease of the heart having rendered him in early life, unable to endure the severe labor of the farm, he determined to fit himself for the medical profession. Unable to meet the expense of a collegiate course, which he much desired, he attended Alstead Academy a few terms, teaching district schools in the winter to obtain the necessary" funds. He then entered Dartmouth Medical College where he gradu- ated with more than average honor, August 21,1824. Prof. R. D. Mu^sey, one of his instructors, secured him the offer of an excellent position with flattering recommendations. But i' »' ■'^ : i f.VWiii: O;;* i-K/j ]ni<)ir.ii'.rAl '..;MMii t. |TVVI ■riCM);;'' 292 WILLIAM HAMMOND not having the funds to purchase the Medical Library that he needed for the phice, he felt obliged to decline tlie favorable opportunity. He began the practice of his profession in Richmond, where he became acquainted with the family of Josiah Rawson, Esq., whose eldest daughter he married. Removing from Richmond, he settled at Proctorsville, Vt. At the urgent desire of his parents he returned to Gilsum in February, 1830, where he engaged in the practice of his profession for thirty-six years. In February, 1866, he removed, with all his family, to Stockbridge, Madison County, N. Y., where he died at the age of 70 years. ''He had a mind of more th.an common activity and his life was spent in study. In his chosen profession he deservedly occupied a high position for his scientific attainments, but this did not engross his entire attention. Fie had a taste for literary labors and wrote with beauty and force. He wrote many articles for tlie press, thereby weiiduig a much greater influence in political and temperence reforms of tl.e day than was generally known at home. He was one of the leaders in the Washingtonian temperance movement in this vicinity, and frequently lectured with good success in this cause. In lyceums and debating focieties he was one of the most active and useful members, both with tongue and pen. Historical matters connected with the town especially interested him. (Appendix, G. Hist, of Gilsum.) He was interested in education, using his influence in behalf of the improvement and enlargement of school privileges for the young. He served the town as Superintendmg School Com- mittee five years. He was one of the founders and most efficient supporters of the Universalist Library. He was always an able and conscientious advocate of equal rights to all of whatever color- or creed. He was of the firm belief that it is the prerogative of the Eternal alone to judge man's motives and spiritual conduct and that one man was better than anoth.er, only in so far as he behaved better. "He inlicritod from his father one of the best farms in Gilsum and few professional men take as deep interest in y. \ ■ WATFRTOW'N, MASS. 293 agriculture as he did, or practice fanning with better success. He was chosen to represent the town in the Constitutional Convention of 1850. lie served the district as State Senator in 1855 and 185G and was Justice of the Peace for many years. Pleasant in his intercour.se, genial in his manners, he left many warm friends to mourri his death." He was a very large, powerful UiUn, stan.■ A.v :i' ;:»li l.n 294 WILLIAM HAMMOND Toxteth Park, Lancashire, England.

After living a few years in Vermont they removed to what is now the extreme southern limit of the city of Oneida, N. Y., then known as Lenox, X. Y., where he carried on the business of a merchant until his death. They were eventually follov/ed by all of their cliildren, Doctor Hammond and his wife being the last to emigrate to this section in 186G, She was a lad}' of quiet and retiring disno^ition, very refined and with high ideals, yet witliout ostentation or undue pride. A kind, loving wife and motiier and one who was ever held in high esteem by all who knew her. She died at the home of her only son in Stockbridge, X. Y., May 20, 1879. Children : 1778* 1. George, b.

He built his house iu Hammond Hollow, Gilsum, N, H., in 1829. The following extract from Hayward's "Hist, of Gilsum," p. 209, gives a fair account of his life : I " He was a successful school teacher for many years, and served as I Sui:>erintending School Committee. He was one of the nrst to join the Washingtonian movement and was an earnest worker in the cause, being quite successful as a temperance lecturer in this and neighboring towns. He served the town a.« moderator and selectman and was commissioned justice of the peace." The following beautiful tribute to his memory was written by his brother, Dr. George W. Hammond : Brother, thou' rt sleeping in thy grave ! The world to thee is hushed ! iWe struggle^! hard thy life to save. But all our hopes were crushed ; Death seized thee in the noon of life, j The brittle thread did sever ; ' The anguish of that fearful strife ; I shall forget it never. Brother, most we miss thee here, j In this thy natal place ; [ Here, where thy presence used to cheer ; We miss thy cheerful face ; The temperance band we used to meet, \Vill miss tliee too forever, No more thy presence will they greet. They will forget thee never. ! - Brother, father sleeps by thee, * His sufferings too are o'er. From which he longed to be set free, j And now he Is no more, j I, only, of the three remain, i My cares are more than ever. 1 I'll strive lliese duties to sT;stain, \ And sliall forget thee never.

He was the author and compiler of a small Hammond Genealogy of the Swanzey branch of the family, published in 1890, and also of a "Genealogy of the Richardson Family," which he published a few years later. He was also one of the most active citizens in collecting the material for the "History of Swanzey,'"' by Col. Benjamin Read, and was one of the publication committee. To him is due the credit for a large part of the genealogical work on the volume. He was one of nature's noble men, a true gentleman, far above the sordid level of humanity, both intellectually and morally. The following editorial from the N. H. Sentinel, (Keene, N. H.) of Sept. 18, 1891, gives a very fair sketch of his life: DEATH OF JOSEPH HAMMOND. J(jse])h Hammond, one of Swanzey's oh.le.^t and best known citizens, and one of the oldef^t pen?oni= in Cheshire county, died at his home in West Swanzey, AVednesday night, at the age of 92 veal's and 5 months. He had been in very good health until about a week or ten days before, when he was taken ill with dysentery and other complications which proved fatal, owing probably to his advanced years. Only two or three weeks ago Mr. Hammond was in Keene one day and missed the train for West Swanzey. He then walked liome, a distance of about six; miles. Mr. Hammond was a descendant of Nathaniel Hammond, ^vho came from Watertown, Mass., to Swanzey in 1740. Nathaniel was quite conspicu- ous in the public life of the town, erecting the first house there and being one of its earliest settlers. He had two sons, .Tr)sc[>h and Benjamin. The decea«ied wa« one of Joseph's nine children, there being four sons and t?ve daughters. He v.as born April 5, LSOO. and after attending the common schools and Chesterfield Academv he taught school in Swanzev and else- a v. .v.xinr^,^ ..J I f.n.. v'.. .:J;- jil'.idJ . M.'

As a young man he was unusually vigorous and muscular, and it is narrated that at Hinsdale Ferry, in 1832, he lifted a box of steel weighing 722 pounds in the presence of several men. His principal business after he finished teaching was that of a lumber measurer and dealer and general surveyor. The latter work he kept up until very recently. ^ AVithin a few years he sold his compass, that he had made in Keene in 1850, to a citizen of this town, and afterwards obtaine.l the loan of it. saying he was lonesome without it and often had occasion to use it. He was allowed to retain the comj)ass thereafter. In 1S34 lie was captain of the Swanzey rifle company. He wa.s select- man three years and had been town clerk, treasurer, superintending school committee, representative in 1850 and 51, postmaster under Lincoln and a justice of the peace since 1843. He \Aa« clerk of the Baptist church thirty- eight years ami trea.<=urer of the DnVilin Baptist association titteen years. He was in the grocery business from 1S50 to 1863, and was at one time a member of the firm of Xims, Gates & Hammond, of Keene. Mr. Hammond's first wife was Lutheria S. Kngers, by whom he had two daughters, Sophia J. and Maria E. She died April 24, 1860. His second wife was Ardelia C. Randall, who died Feb. 11, 1884. His third wife was ?darion E. Farmer, who survives him. together with his daughters, Mrs. Martin :Nra.^on, of West Swanzey, (Sophia J.) and 3Irs. Eugene ^1. Keyes, of Keene, (Maria E.) The funeral was held at the Baptist church Friday afternoon. The services were conducted by Rev. Thoma.s Cain, of Windsor, Yt.. a former pastor, assisted bv Rev. Robert Bennett, pastor of the local church. The singing was by a male quartette and the interment was in the old cemetery. Mr. Hammond's funeral took place on the sixty-first anniversary of his becoming a member of the Baptist church. Children; 1869* 1. SoPHiNA J., b. Feb. 17, 1837. 1870* 2. Maria E., b.

Her grandfather, Joseph P. Snell, removed from the town of Man- heim, Herkimer County, X. Y., to Stockbridge, about 1822; a lineal descendant of Johan Jost Snell, who came from Ger- many to America in 1710. Three of Mr.-. Hammond's great grandfothers were in the battle of Ori.>^kany in the Ilevolu- tionary war. Of these Peter Snell, the fatlier of Josepii P. Snell, was wounded in battle. John Frederick Snell, the father of Mary P^lizabeth Snell, the wife of Joseph P. Snell, was killed, and George Stam escaped uninjured. All of these with many oth'ers of their kinsnaen were in Capt. Jacob Klock's Co. under CJeneral Herkimer. George Haunnond finished his education at Mt. Cesar Seminary in Swanzey, X. II. He took an active {.>art with his father in the early temperance movements of tins locality and was during his whole life a total abstainer from all intoxicants and tobacco. He wrote hugely for the agricultural press and was for many years a valued correspondent of tl^e "Cultivator and Country Gentlenuin" and also of the "Mirror and Farmer." He also wrote much on temperance subjects, but never took an active part in politics, although he was a life- long Republican. He held the ofiice of justice of the peace in his native town for about ten years and held some minor offices in the town where he lived the hist years of his life, but they were always unsought as he declined to attend party caucuses or to take any active part in partisan politics. He was very reserved in his intercourse with others and always preferred to write rather than talk. He was a great reader upon all subjects of interest and was a great thinker. He Vv^as never a church member but held advanced opinions on mptters of religion. On account of his excellent education and fine penmanship he was frequently calleti upoii to write WATKRTOWX, MASS. 329 the wills and other legiil pa[>ers of his neighbors and to make out tax lists, etc., in tht- locality. He was much interested in agricultural pursuits and in breeding tine blooded sh.cep, cattle and horses during his entire life but suffered the loss of the most of his property during the financial panic of l;s7.'i to 1879. His wife, Almina Snell was <[uite well educated and a very intelligent woman.

Not bein;,^ inclined to the life of the farm he } entered the employment of the Cheshire Cotton Mills at Jaf- "' frey as bookkeeper and paymaster. Here he remained for a 5 year and a half and then vv-ent to Keene, where he si[)ent i another term of equal length a- salesman iu the dry ^'oods store of il. W. Briggs & Co. Feeling himself now (pia lifted .-. for a larger field he went to Boston where he found employ- ment as salesman and bookkeeper in the dry goods establish- • ment of Libby «a: Brothers, and was afterward occupied as an expert bookkeeper on private accounts. On account of i)Oor > liealth he \v:is soou ol>l!ged to lea\e Boston and seek an in- j; land loeatien. He went to Northern New York and kept a \ general store at Rouses Point and Fort Covington until 1857, i when he rtturned to his native state and resolved to try his ] fortums at tlie Capitol, lie remained in Concord until the * breaking out of the war, being employed as a salesman by ' John P. Johnson, a prominent dealer in dry goods. The President's call for three months' men aroused his patriotic spirit and he enlisted under th;;t call but was not mustered. i A short time afterward he received from Col.

He enlisted Sept. 2.3, 18G1, and ; was nuistcied in Oct. 2'), 18G1, served his three year's term with this famous regiment and was mastered out Oct. 29, 18G4. ■ roAiirt \\ irkidw // I .\-\--i.

It bears the proLKl record of having lost more men killed and mortally wounded in action than any other regiment in the Union armies, heavy artillery excepted. Twenty-three engagements it passed through and the losses in action were 282, of whom 18 were officers, and 176 died from disease and other causes than wounds, making a total loss of 458 officers and men. William F. Fox, in his book "Regimental Losses in the Civil War," says: •' The one resinieiit in all the Union arniio!- which snstiiined the great- est ln?s in battle durine the An\erieau Civil War was the Fifth New Hamp- shire Infantry. [Thi?: staten:ent does not include heavy artillery.] * * * It served in the tir«t division, second corps. This division uas connnanded successfully by (ienerals Kichardson. Hancock, Caldwell.

Its loss ineludes eighteen oflicers killed, a nunilKT far in excess of the u.=ual j.rojwrtion and indicates that tlie men were bravely led."' Mr. Hammond's only brother, Albert 0. Hammond, was also in the service in the latter part of the \var. and his patriotism cost him his life. He enlisted in Company M., Second Massachusetts Cavalry, and was mustered in Jan. 4, 18G4, }x?ing a resident of Dedham, Mass. He was captured and sent to Anderson ville prison, where lie was so reduced by starvation tliat he died Sept. 12, 1864, shortly after being transferred to Savannah. After the expiration of his three years of service, Mr- Hanniiond resided in. Fast Concord for a short time, and ni 1868 removed to Mancliestrr, where he successfully carried on a small farm in the district known as Hallsville. His health was so undermined by malaria and other affiictions incident to army life in the south, that some such out-door life as this was deemed necessary. He also improved this time in learn- ing the cariHL-nter's trade. He returned to Concord in 1874, and followed his nt'W occupation until di^^a.blcd by a fall from :»2 WILTJAM ii.nnioxi) tlie roof of a building, from the eHecls of wiiicli lu* never fully recovered. In 1877 be was a^'pointed deputy secretary of state and continued in tbat olHce by successive re-appointment for ten years. In June, 1887, he was elected librarian of the New Hampshire Plistorical Society, and he served the society for three years or until he was obliged by failing health to resign. During this time he edited volume 9 of the collection of the society. In 1881 he was appointed editor of state papers, and during the remainder of his life he com. piled and edited volumes 11 to 18 of the State Papers of New Hampshire, in- cluding the Revolutionary rolls, wliich comprised volumes 14, 15, 16 and 17. He was deputy V. S. mar.-hal for taking the census of 1870, member of the New Hampshire constitutional convention of I87fi. commander of the E. E. Sturtcvant Post, No. 2, G. A. P.. of Concord, secretary of the New Hampshire college of electors in 1884, vice-president of the Manufacturers' and Merchants' Insurance Co. He was a member of the New Hampshire Historical Sot-iety, and the New England Historic Genealogical Society, honorary member of the ]\Iaine Histori- cal Society, and was elected a member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. Although not a man of college education, he received the degree of xV. M. from Dartmouth College in 1883. He was a Mason, a member of Blazing Star lodge of Concord, and served as marshal of the lodge for several years. During his army service he was secretary of one of the " traveling" lodges then in existence in the field. Children : 2014. 1. Cr.AiiKxrK Everktt, b. Aug. G, I8G0; d. Sept. 20, 18G5.
