Abbott Lawrence Snow, youngest son of Willis and Rebecca ( Gould ) Snow, was born in Orleans, Massachusetts. September 11. 1853. While hardly more than a boy he left school and went out from Wellfleet in a fish- ing vessel to the banks of Newfoundland, and followed the occupation two years. In the spring of 1873 he gave up fishing and went to Cambridge and learned the trade of box mak- ing. In 1883 he established himself in business on his own account in East Boston, where his factory is still located, with twenty-one men. In April, 1905. he took over a planing business in connection with box making.

Mr. and Mrs. Snow have one child, Ralph Waldo Snow, born in East Cam- bridge, Massachusetts, February 15, 1881, now manager of his father's business in East Bos- ton. He attended the public schools, gradu- ated from the high school in 1899, and then went into business with his father. He is a member of Hammatt Lodge, F. A. M., of East Boston, and Lodge No. 36, 1. O. O. F., of Everett.
HAMMOND The Hammonds are of Eng- lish descent, and the line was founded in this country by William Hammond ( I), born in Lavenham, Suffolk county, England, baptized there Octo- ber 30, 1575, only surviving son of Thomas and Rose ( Trippe) Hammond ; Thomas Ham- mond died in 1589. Little is known of the early life of William Hammond. He married, June 9. 1605, in his native town, Elizabeth Paine, also of Lavenham, and there their chil- dren were born. In the absence of records it is impossible to state the year in which he came to America. In a Boston record of the year 1632 is found mentioned one William Ham- mond, but this may have been the William Hammond who settled in Lynn in 1636 and who was probably the eldest son of William Hammond of Watertown, and who was born in Lavenham in 1607.
About 1636 he settled at Watertown. Massa- chusetts, probably at the same time with his brothers-in-law William Paine and Dr. Simon Eire, from Scituate, where record is found of him previous to 1636, the name being writ- ten Hamans. His older children are supposed to have come to America with him, and his wife and younger children two or more years later, the latter party having come on the "Francis" from Ipswich, England, in April, 1634. Of his children, Elizabeth married Samuel House, of Scituate, who died 1661. There is a possibility that the Anne who mar- ried, as his second wife, Rev. John Lothrop, was a daughter of William Hammond, but the connection is very slight. Mention of John, the youngest son, is found on Scituate records for 1643 as able to bear arms there. William Hammond was admitted freeman in Water-
town, May 25, 1636, and before 1644 possessed seven lots by grant and three by purchase. A plot of forty acres situated on the west of Common street, he held as a homestead, this later passing to his grandson Thomas. In a land division on March 10, 1642, he received a grant of a lot. No. 76. containing one hundred sixty-five acres, and thus became one of the largest landholders of the town. His inde- pendence in religious matters in those days of puritanical restriction of individual opinion brought Mr. Hammond somewhat into disfavor with the bigoted majority of his fellow towns- men, records showing that he was not often in public office, and his house was once ordered searched, May 27, 1661, for hidden Quakers, it being known that he had considerable sym- pathy with that sect. His neighbor and partic- ular friend. John Warren, who came from the same place in England where the two families had maintained most friendly relations through previous generations, was even more suspicionsly regarded and his house was also searched at the same time. The high standard of refinement and respectability maintained by the individuals in each generation of the Hammond family may well be a source of pride to the living representatives. The accu- sation of narrow-mindedness can not be raised against them for they were wont to rely upon their own sturdy and well-balanced judgment even in the days when one man's creed must be his neighbor's, under penalty. Unitarian and Universalist congregations have claimed Hammonds among them, also Baptist, and in later generations many have held aloof from (lenominational alliance.
William Hammond married Elizabeth, daughter of William Paine; she was born in Newton parish, near Bury Street, Edmunds, Suffolk, England. 1578. When forty-seven years of age she sailed with her children to join her husband in America, embarking at Ipswich, England, in April, 1634, with chil- dren Elizabeth, aged fifteen, Sarah, ten, John, seven, in the ship "Francis," John Cutting master. Of her father's family five children came to America, all, for a time at least, be- coming residents of Watertown, Massachu- setts, namely: Phebe, Elizabeth, Dorothy. William and Robert. William Hammond died in Watertown, October 8, 1662, and Elizabeth, his widow, died September 14, 1670. Their children : 1. William, baptized September 20, 1607, died about 1637. 2. Anne, baptized No- vember 19, 1609. died June 7, 1615. 3. John, baptized December 5, 1611, died August 16,

(11) Thomas Hammond, fifth child and third son of William and Elizabeth ( Paine ) Hammond, born in Lavenham, England, bap- tized there September 17. 1618. He died in Watertown, Massachusetts, December 1655. Although dying comparatively young he had become known as an active enterprising man among the planters in the colony. He married, about 1654, Hannah Cross, born in Ipswich, Massachusetts, April, 1636, baptized in Ilampton, October 9, 1638, daughter of John and Hannah Cross. John Cross and wife Hannah sailed from Ipswich, England, to New England in April, 1634. They settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts, probably after a period of two or three years in Hampton, where their only child Hannah was baptized, and John Cross soon took an active part in town affairs. He was admitted freeman in 1639, and in 1640 was chosen as representa- tive. Ilannah Cross died March 24. 1657, sur- viving her husband, Thomas Hammond, but a little over one year. Their only child was Thomas.
(111) Lieutenant Thomas Hammond, only child of Thomas and Hannah ( Cross ) Ham- mond, was born July 11, 1656, in Watertown. His father died a few months previous to his birth, and his mother shortly after his birth. His grandfather, William Hammond, and his grandmother Cross died during his early years, and it is thought that he was raised and edu- cated by his uncle. Lieutenant John Hammond, of Watertown. He was uncommonly well educated for that day, wrote an excellent hand, had received some military training. and fought in the Indian wars in 1675 and 1676. llis title of lieutenant is found in Ipswich records, and it is probable that he saw active military service later in his life. From old accounts it is found that he was a driving busi- ness man, openly displaying his preference for the turning of an honest dollar to subjec- tion to the hard, sometimes hypocritical, ortho- doxy of his day, and acquired a large landed property. He was selectman in 1694 and in 1696. He died February 26, 1724-5, in Ips- wich, and he was buried at Rowley. He mar- ried first.

( \\') David Hammond, second son and fifth child of Lieutenant Thomas and Sarah ( Pick- ard ) Hammond, born in Watertown, Novem- ber 23. 1600, died in' Rowley, September 22, 1765. He was a farmer, and lived on a site so near the boundary line between Rowley and Ipswich that there was much controversy as to which town might claim the farm, that went on some years after the owner's death and the place was occupied by his son David. The matter was not finally settled until May 5. 1784. when the farm was "sett off" to Rowley. Hence there is confusion in the birth records of the children of the family, some being re- corded in one place and some in the other. David Hammond married first, July 11, 1719, Mary Platts, born in Rowley, June 29, 1684, daughter of Samuel and Philippa ( Felt ) Platts, of Rowley. She died March, 1747.

From the mutilated remains of old records of Salem, New Hampshire, has been gathered the fol- lowing: "November 22, 1777. A warrant delivered to Henry Sanders, constable, to warn out of this town David Hammond, who came from the town of Ipswich, in the county of Essex, in the state of Massachusetts Bay, sometime in the last of April or the first of May." This act of warning was an estab- lished practice, and was delivered against every newcomer to a town as a precautionary measure so that if any person so warned ever become indigent the expense of their maintain- ance must have been incurred by the county and not by the town. David Hammond was a soldier of the revolution, enlisted July 21, i779, as private in Fourth company, Third New Hampshire regiment, and served until the end of the war. He was granted a pension for his service, and the same was paid him until his death in 1840. In 1791 he purchased a farm in Bow and lived there during the re-
mainder of his life. He married first, March 21, 1777. Patience Ifarris, of New Salem, his first cousin, who died about 1790, leaving two daughters.

ROBINSON In the early history of Maine as a province of New Eng- land there was a period which had its beginning in the first quarter of the eighteenth century and was known as that of the Scotch-Irish immigration ; and a most for- tunate event it was for the English colonists of that isolated region that the Scotchmen came to settle among them, for they were the best fighting stock in the region and during the next half century even to the close of the revolutionary war, there were many occa- sions when the fighting qualities of the Scotch- men saved the frontier settlements from com- plete devastation and their inhabitants from inhuman death at the hands of bloodthirsty and merciless Indians.
One of the first five settlers in Thomaston, Maine, was a Robinson, and they all, like those who went with them and settled in what now is Warren, were immigrants from the northern and Protestant part of Ireland. There they were called Scotch because they or their ances- tors had come thither from Scotland; but in the New England provinces they were called Scotch-Irish, though there was little affinity and less kinship between them and the native Irish, who were Roman Catholics and spoke an entirely different tongue.
(I) Dr. Moses Robinson was one of the first settlers in what became the town of War- ren, Maine, and his son Archibald, born Janu- ary 31, 1737, was the first white child born on the river, near the boundary of the towns of Cushing and Warren. Mr. Eaton in his ex- cellent history says: "Moses Robinson, father of the above named Archibald, having some knowledge of roots, herbs and the use of the lancet, and hence called doctor, resided then on the lot afterwards inherited by the said Archibald and his posterity ; although he also early took up a lot farther up the river in Warren, whither he removed and which still ( 1865) remains with his descendants there. Captain Andrew Robinson, probably a brother of the doctor, was also here, employed about the government works."
During the Indian troubles in 1747 Dr. Rob-
inson was the physician and surgeon stationed at the fort in Warren and his account for medical attendance upon the sick settlers who had found refuge there was presented in April the following year. He lived in Warren to the end of his years and was buried in the graveyard of the old Presbyterian meeting- house. His brother Andrew died in 1742 and was buried at the old fort. The name of Dr. Robinson's wife does not appear but he had a family of nine children : 1. Joseph. 2. Moses. 3. John, married Sarah Carver. a descendant of Governor Carver of the Plymouth colony. 4. Major Hanse. 5. Archibald, born January 31. 1737, the first white child born in Warren : married Margaret Watson. He lived in Cush- ing and died there February 25, 1820. 6.
