Thomas Hammond, son of HAMMOND William and Mary Ham- mond, of Milford, Suffolk county, England, and grandson of John and
II43
MASSACHUSETTS.
Agnes Hammond, of the adjacent town of Lavenham, was baptized in the Parish church at Milford with his twin brother, John Ham- mond, September 2, 1603. Thomas and John Hammond were cousins of William Ham- mond, who settled in Watertown, Massachu- setts Bay Colony, in 1636. The marriage of Thomas Hammond to Elizabeth Carson, daughter of Robert and Prudence (Ham- mond) Carson, and maternal granddaughter of Robert and Elizabeth Hammond, of Whel- hetham, where she was born before 1604, took place in Lavenham, November 12, 1623, and their first child Thomas was born there about 1630 and accompanied his parents to America in 1635 and worked the farm in conjunction with his father and inherited the estates at Newton after his father's death. He married Elizabeth Stidman, who died in Newton in 1715, thirty-seven years after the death of her husband which occurred as the result of small- pox, October 30, 1678. Their children were: Elizabeth. 1664; Thomas, 1666; Isaac and Sarah, twins, 1668; Nathaniel, 1671; John, 1674; Eleazer, 1677. Thomas and Elizabeth (Carson) Hammond with their young son Thomas and daughter Elizabeth embarked for the New World in 1636 and located at Hing- ham, of which town he was one of the first settlers. He was at once assigned a grant of land and was admitted a freeman by the gen- eral court, March 9, 1636-37. That he was a man of considerable importance in church and state is evidenced by his service on the grand jury in 1637. Before he left Hingham, his third and fourth children were born and bap- tized in the First Church of Hingham, Sarah, September 3, 1640, and Nathaniel, March 12, 1643. Some time after the birth of his young- est child, he joined a party of migrants who had found on the hills rising from the Charles river opposite Watertown a desirable place for settlement. This territory was under the control of the church at Cambridge and was known as Nonantum. the Indian name, and after 1654 as Cambridge Village, and later New Cambridge and by authority of the gen- eral court after 1691, took the name of the original town, Newtown. The Hammond homestead in Newtown was near the Brook- line boundary, and near a beautiful sheet of water, which has since borne the name of Hammond Pond; remained in the family for several generations ; it now belongs to the fam- ily of the late Judge John Lowell. Between 1639 and 1649 there were only seven families in the territory including in the order of their
coming, Jackson, Hyde, Fuller, Park and Pren- tice, direct from England and the following from Hingham and other earlier settlements: Parker, Hammond, Ward, Kendrick, Trow- bridge, Bacon, Stone. By 1664 twenty families had come in and located, and there were twelve young men of the second generation, including Thomas and Nathaniel Hammond. The number of freemen in the town was about sixty-five and a town government was estab- lished over a territory which included between thirteen thousand and fifteen thousand acres of land, including several ponds, the largest of which is still known as Hammond's Pond. Religious meetings for public worship were first held in 1655, but the inhabitants were refused their independence for which they con- tended for thirty-three years. In 1660 they built their first meeting house, and in 1661 the general court granted them "freedom from all church rates for the support of the ministry in Cambridge and for all lands and estates dis- tant four miles from the Cambridge meeting house, to be measured by the usual paths of travel ordinarily passed in attending public worship-so long as the south side of the river shall maintain an able ministry" and the next year definite lines of boundary between the two towns were established. The first town meeting of the town of New Cambridge was held June 27, 1679, by virtue of an order of the general court, but the court did not admit a deputy from New Cambridge till 1688 and it was not till 1691 that the name Newtown, New Town, Newtowne was used so variously written. When Laurence Hammond was clerk and when Judge Fuller became town clerk in 1766, he adopted the name and spelled it New- ton, and it has so continued. After his re- moval to Cambridge Village, probably in 1650, he still held lands in Hingham for several years. He was one of the wealthiest men in the village. He died in 1675, leaving an un- signed will which was admitted to probate, and his estate was inventoried at nearly eleven hundred and forty pounds. The children of Thomas and Elizabeth (Carson) Hammond were: I. Thomas, born in England about 1630. 2. Elizabeth, born in England about 1633-34, married George Woodward, August 17. 1659. 3. Sarah, baptized September 13, 1640, in Hingham, Massachusetts, married Nathaniel Stedman and died before 1675. 4. Nathaniel, baptized March 12, 1643 (q. v.).
