• Robert Hazard 2 (Thomas, 1) was born 1635; he died 1710. In 1665 he was admitted freeman of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. From this time until 1698 his name often appears in the Colonial records as chosen to fill some important position. In 1658, he sold John Roome, of Portsmouth, all his interest in Conanicut and Dutch Island. In 1667, the Court at Plymouth ordered, in reference to a controversy between the English and Indians about bounds in Dartmouth, that in case Robert Hazard, of Rhode Island, could be procured, he should run the lines, etc. In 1670, he was juryman. In 1671, he bought five hundred acres of land in Kingstown, of the Pettaquamscutt purchasers. In 1676, he and three others of Portsmouth were a committee ordered by the Assembly to appoint their own men as keepers of Indians above twelve years of age. The Indians were to have "a sufficient place of security." Any master offending was to pay of fine of L5. In 1676, Robert Hazard was on a committee to procure boats for the colony's defence "for the present, and there were to be four empowered to take exact account of all of the inhabitants on the island, "English, negroes and Indians, and make a list of the same, and also to take exact account how all persons are provided with corn, guns, powder, shot and lead." A barrel of powder was put in charge of himself and three others, and two great guns in the yard of the late William Brenton, were to be impressed into the country's service and carried to Portsmouth, and place, one "in the Ferry Neck and one near the house of John Borden." Robert Hazard and three others were to see that the guns were set on carriages and fitted for service. In 1676, also, he was appointed as commissioner to take care of and order the several watches and wards on the island, and appoint the places. In 167, he was taxed IIs. 7d in Kingstown.:
• Not long after this date, he built his house in Kingstown, which was still standing in the early part of the present century. It was on the site where now stands the house owned and occupied by the daughters of William Watson, Esq., in the village of Mooresfield. The old house was very large, - possibly the largest in the town, not only at that time but for many years after. A well authenticated story is told of Dr. William Shaw, who, being called in to attend a
• https://archive.org/stream/hazardfamilyofrh00byurobi#page/4/mode/1up
• sick person in the house, drove into the back yard, and entered the house by the kitchen door. When he went out, he asked if the family always walked from the front door to the rear of the house, or did they have some conveyance? The ell was longer than the main body of the house, and in this ell was a capacious chimney. Inside the chimney were two stone seats, where, tradition says, the little slave children were wont to sit; the heat from the big oak-logs being no bad substitute for the hot sands of Africa.
• In 1695, Robert Hazard gave to his son George the larger part of his Pettaquamscutt purchase. The deed runs: "I, Robert Hazard, late of Portsmouth, now of Kingstown, alias Rochester, for the natural affection that I have unto my son George...have given to him all my whole right and interest in or to the farm I live on now, by virtue of a deed from the whole Company of Purchasers, as may appear by a deed given under their hand. Said farm contains five hundred acres of land, more or less, bounded as in my original deed from aforesaid purchasers. Only I, said Robert Hazard, do reserve one hundred and twenty acres, and my now dwelling-house." The boundaries mention a big rock in the boundary line, about ten feet high. This rock is still to be seen in a substantial stone wall, and gave rise to the familiar name of his grandson Robert, who was called "Roc" Robert. This was also his signature, Robert Rock [his mark] Hazard. In 1710, a short time before his death, Robert, sold the remaining part of this farm, with "my manor house where I now live," to his son Robert (for L300, current money), who, in 1718, gavie it by will to his son Robert, after his mother's deathl making three Roberts who had successively owned and occupied the old house. The last, upon the death of his mother in 1739, sold to his uncle George the remaining part of the farm. He in his turn gave the whole farm to his son, Col. Thomas Hazard, by will, in 1743. Col. Thomas, in 1748, sold it to John Rose. And thus, after sixty years, the old homestead passed out of the possession of the Hazard family.
• Previous to the deed of gift to his son George, Robert had, in 1692, given to his son Stephen, "all rights and interests in land belonging to Point Judith Neck, being ye seventh part of ye same, excepting one hundred acres and Little Neck, so called, next Boston Neck."
• In 1695, he also gave his son Jeremiah two hundred acres of land in Tiverton; and that his eldest son Thomas had land given to him by his father, is proved by the fact that in his will eh says, "land that came to me by inheritance from my father, Robert Hazard." By these deeds it would seem that Robert Hazard owned more than one thousand acres of land.
• Robert married Mary Brownell, daughter of Thomas and Anne Brownell. She was born in 1639, and died in 1739, being exactly one hundred years of age. In an old copy of the Boston Gazette, dated February 12, 1739, is found the following notice: "Newport, Feb 9. Mrs. Mary Hazard, widow of Mr. Robert Hazard, of South Kingston, and Grand Mother to the deceased George Hazard, Esq., late Deputy Governor of Rhode Island, departed this life the

• (I) Thomas Hazard, the first American ancestor, born in England, in 1610, came from England, some say Wales, and settled in Rhode Island, in 1635. His name is first found in Boston in 1635. in 1638 he was admitted a freeman of Boston; in 1639 he was admitted freeman of Newport, Rhode Island, and in 1640 he was appointed a member of the general court of elections. He married (first Martha --- , who died in 1669. Married (second) Martha, widow of Thomas Sheriff, who died in 1691. Thomas Hazard died in 1680. There were four children, probably all by the first marriage: Robert, whose sketch follows; Elizabeth, married George Lawton; Hannah, married Stephen Wilcox, son of Edward Wilcox; .Martha, married (first) Ichabod, son of Nathaniel and Dorothy Potter, and (second) Benjamin, son of Roger and Mary Mowry.
• (II) Robert, eldest child and only son of Thomas and Martha Hazard, was born in 1635, in England or Ireland. In 1635 he was admitted freeman of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. He appears to have been a Prominent man in the colony, and ws a large landowner. He built a big house in Kingstown, Rhode Island, which stood for a century, and a half. The house had a long L in which was a capacious chimny with two stone seats where, tradition says the little slave children were wont to sit. Robert Hazard, according to the deeds given to his sons and others, owned more than a thousand acres of land. He married Mary, daughter of Thomas and Ann Brownell. She died January 28, 1739. at the age of one hundred years, having lived to see five hundred of her descendants, as mentioned in the first paragraph. She appears to have been remarkable in more than one way, for the "Boston Gazette," dated February 12, 1739, says of her: "She was accounted a very useful Gentlewoman, both to the Poor and Rich on many accounts, and particularly amongst Sick Persons for her Skill and Judgment, which she did Gratis." Thomas and Mary Hazard had eight children: Thomas, born in 1660, died in 1746. married Susannah Nichols; George, married Penelope, daughter of Caleb and Abigail Arnold, died in 1743 ; Stephen, married Elizabeth Helme, died September 20, 1727; Martha, married Thomas Wilcox, died in 1753: Mary, married Edward Wilcox, and died before 1710; Robert married Amey --- , died in 1718; Jeremiah, whose sketch follows; Hannah, married Jeffrey Champlin. Robert Hazard died in 1710.
• (III) Jeremiah, fifth son and seventh child of Robert and Mary (Brownell) Hazard, was born March 25, 1675. He lived at Kingstown, Rhode Island. Like others of the family he owned much land, some of which remained to his descendants for generations. Jeremiah Hazard married Sarah, daughter of Jeremiah and Mary (Geready) Smith. They had seven children: Mary, born March 16, 1669, died in 1771 ; Ann. born February 28, 1701, m. married John Browning; Robert, whose sketch follows ; Sarah, born January 11, 1706, married Robert Moore, October 24, 1728; Martha, born October 8, 1708; Hannah, born in April, 1714, married Samuel Watson; Susannah, born May 21, 1716, married --- Smith. Jeremiah Hazard reached the age of ninety-three, dying February 2, 1768. __________________________

Mary4 Brownell (Thomas A.3, Robert2, Thomas1) was born December 08, 1639 in Braintree, Massachusetts, and died January 12, 1738/39 in South Kingston, Washington, Rhode Island. She married Robert Hazard Abt. 1658 in Portsmouth, Newport, Rhode Island, son of Thomas Hazard and Martha Potter. He was born 1635 in England, and died 1710 in Portsmouth, Newport, Rhode Island.

Notes for Mary Brownell:

"Mary, the eldest of Thomas and Anne Brownell's nine children, was probably born during the time they lived in Braintree. Her date of birth is given as April 1639. There is, however, no record of this birth as the recording of births in Braintree did not begin until 1643 and were very sketchy for the early years, few births being actually recorded."
