Vachel and Mary Hammond lived two miles east of "Liberty", Frederick County, Maryland. Mary died in the year 1814, January 22nd. Vachel married Mrs. Precilla Hough in the year following. This marriage was opposed, although there was no objection to the woman, but was finally consented to, when a proposition to divide the Estate among the children was made.

Vachel Hammond was a man of excellent habits and character, but was of stern disposition; he was of the English type of build, short and plump, but not too much burdened with flesh. Was very particular in his dress, holding strictly to the knee breeches, and ruffled shirt fashion of the day.

He was a good manager and overlooked his large possessions and numerous slaves with perfect ease, spending most of his time during harvest and the crop season on horseback. He was a kind slave owner, his slaves were very much attached to him; he never sold any of them to the Southern slave trade.

Mary Hammond was a beautiful woman, tall and slender with brown hair and a loveable disposition; a natural Christian, strict member of the church and had a voice of power and sweetness that made the Methodist hymns of that day (which she delighted to sing) attractive to her hearers.

Vachel continued to live in the old homestead until his death, December 18, 1821, when the farm was purchased by his son Thomas.
