SAMUEL HALL, (Samuel, Josiah, John, Andrew), m. Jan. 1, 1813, Sophia, dau. of John and Lois (Jackson) King, of Newton.
Capt. Samuel Hall was born in Newton, Mass., May 7, 1787. He lived in Newton, during his minority, with his father, who was a farmer and hand-loom weaver, receiving only the educational advantages which the district schools of that period afforded, and in. that time he learned the trade of a blacksmith.
January 1, 1813, he was married to Miss Sophia King, of Newton. In 1816, after the birth of two children, they settled in Grafton, and in 1822 he purchased the " Wood" estate, situated on the road leading to Millbury, took down the old house, and built the cottage which he occupied up to the time of his death, a period of some fifty-six years. They had twelve children, seven of whom are now (May, 1879), living, four daughters and three sons, all of whom are filling well their respec- tive situations in life, the sons being favorably known in business and official circles. The oldest, Samuel Hall, was for many years a partner

HISTORY OF GRAFTON.
in a commission house in Boston, doing a large and successful business. S. D. Hall, of Grafton, is one of the most efficient deputy-sheriffs in Worcester County ; and the youngest, Sanford J. Hall, is the well known secretary of the Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance Company.
More than fifty years ago he was elected captain of a military com- pany, and served for several years with great acceptance. He had a good ear and natural love for music, and, by study and practice, he made himself one of the best musicians in the county. He played the bass-viol, and directed the singing with marked success, at different periods, in the choirs of each of the religious societies in Grafton ; and his interest in, and love for this art, he retained almost unabated to the close of his life; his passion for music being strong so long as he was able to receive and entertain his friends and neighbors. Indeed, his friends listened with pleasure to his rendering of several of the old- time tunes, npon his bass-viol, so recently as the anniversary of his ninetieth birthday. Captain Hall was eminently social and cheerful, characteristics which he retained to the last. He seemed young at ninety. He was a man of truth, justice and charity, and the spirit which characterized him in his daily life governed him also in his treat- ment of political and moral questions. He had no taste for contro- versy, but acted quietly on his own convictions, and left others to act as they pleased. In all things he was an independent and intelligent thinker and actor. His word was as good as his bond, and his promises seldom, if ever, excceded what he performed. In a word, he despised pretence and hated corruption wherever found. .
Politically he was a Whig, until the formation of the Republican party, with which he acted, depositing his last ballot for Hayes and Wheeler.
Whatever failings he had dwindled into insignificance in the presence of his intelligence, his love of right, his amiability, his courteous man- ner, his devotion to his family and friends. He was an affectionate husband, a fond and indulgent father, and, endowed as he was, lie be- came to his large and happy family its guide and blessing, leaving behind him a memory of undying fragrance. He died February 24, 1878, in the ninety-first year of his age; at that time the oldest man in Grafton. Children,

HAMMOND.
The families of the name of Hammond, in New England, are most, if not all of them, descended from two brothers, viz., William, of Water- town, and Thomas, of Hingham and Newton. They came from Laven- ham, County of Suffolk, England.
JOSIAH H. HAMMOND, (Benjamin, Col. Benjamin, Nathaniel, Nathan- iel, Thomas), b. Oct. 4, 1806, m. Oct. 14, 1829, Auna G. Warren (W). He d. Mar., 1860.
Josiah Hovey Hammond, son of Benjamin and Mary (Hovey) Ham- mond, of Rutland, Mass., was born Oct. 20, 1806, at Newton, Mass., on the old Hammond farm, on Hammond street, adjoining Hammond pond. He was the last Hammond born there. The farm was first purchased hy Thomas Hammond (who came to Hingham from Lavenham, England, in 1632), in 1656. When Josiab was three years old his father and grandfather removed to Rutland. Here he passed his boyhood. When he was twenty-two he came to Grafton, and followed his occupation of house-builder, and with the exception of two years passed in Roxbury, and two years at Rutland, he lived in Graftou until bis death. In 1840 he built the house now occupied by his widow. Children,

Mr. Harrington was born on Brigham Hill, on what is now known as the "Knights farm," where he remained until he was engaged by Charles Prentice as clerk in his store, the "Green store." After at- taining his majority he bought out Mr. Prentice. For fifty years, with but a few years while engaged in other business, Mr. HarrIngton was in business in the old "Green store." By close attention to business, and honest dealings with his fellow-citizens, he retired in 1877, having accumulated a handsome property. He was one of the founders of the Savings Bank, of which he was vice-president a number of years. He is now one of the trustees; and is also a director of the National Bank. Children,
