At the age of fifty years he relinquished the sea, devoted himself to sail making, and removed from Salem to Providence. His ancestor was one of the early settlers of Salem.) Joseph went to school until he was about fourteen years of age. His only school books were the bible and spelling book, and his only studies were writing, reading, spelling, and arithmetic. On leaving school, he learnt the trade of a sail-maker. He made a public profession of religion, and united with the Congregational ch., in Providence, in 1775. In 1785, he began to preach in Plainfield, Conn., to the Congregational ch., where he continued fifteen months. In 1787, he was dismissed from the Congregational ch. in Providence, and united with the Baptist ch. there, and preached in the Baptist ch. in Hampton, Conn., sev- eral months, and was invited to settle, but declined. After preach- ing sixteen Sabbaths in the Baptist ch. in Newton, he was invited to become its Pastor. He accepted, and was ordained June 18, 1788. [See Rev. S. F.

HAGER - HAMMOND.
HAGER, AARON, m. Betsy Parmenter, 1809.
I. HAMMOND, THOMAS, was one of the first settlers of Hingham, and had land granted to him there, in 1636 ; took the freeman's oath there, March 9, 1636-7. Two of his chil. were baptised in Hingham. Thomas Hammond, Vincent Druce, John Parker, Nicholas Hodg- den, and John Winchester, all had land granted to them in Hing- ham, in 1636, and were probably there in 1635. They all removed from Hingham about the same time. The three first settled in Camb. Village, and the two last within the bounds of Boston, (now Brookline,) but all five were in the same neighborhood. Hodgden first purchased sixty-seven acres of land on Camb. Hill, in Camb. Village, but he and w. Elizabeth, then of Boston, (Brookline,) con- veyed the same to Thomas Hammond and Vincent Druce, (then both of Hingham,) on the 4. 12, 1650; also, thirteen acres more, which was granted by the town of Camb. to Robert Bradish; and also sixteen acres more, in Muddy river, next to Camb. hill, ad- joining John Parker's land N. N. W., and N. E. Hammond and Druce bought, 1658, of Thomas Brattle and others, six hundred acres at Muddy river, (Brookline,) called the Royton farm, for £100, N. partly on the Rox. line, and s. partly on the Camb. line, surveyed by John Oliver. Hammond sold his place in Hingham to William Sprague, in March, 1656, for £60. Hammond and Druce's purchases were held in common until 1664, when a division was made; " the dividing line was one hundred rods long, running over the great hill," the pond being in Hammond's part. Hammond also bought of Esther Sparhawk, dr. of Nathaniel Sparhawk, three hun- dred and thirty acres, for £40, in 1656, being the same land granted by the town of Camb. to her father, " bounding s. and w. on land of Robert Bradish, and N. by land of Elder Frost, now in the pos- session of John Ward and Lieut. Prentice." It is not known whether his w. Elizabeth came to this country with him, or whether he was m. at Hingham. Hobart's Diary states that his dr. Sarah was baptised Sept. 13, 1640, and s. Nathaniel, March 12, 1643. His will is on record, but is neither signed nor dated; was exhibited to the Court by his wid. Elizabeth, Sept. 30, 1675, and was in his own handwriting. It was set up, and Elder Wiswall and John Spring were appointed to appraise the estate; and their inventory, amount- ing to £1,139, 16s. 2d., dated Oct. 25, 1675, states that he d. Sept. 30, 1675. His will names but two sons and two daughters, Thomas and Nathaniel, and Sarah Stedman and Elizabeth Woodward, w. of

George Woodward, and divides his estate between these four, and his wid. Elizabeth, to whom he gave his dwelling house and a portion of his land. To Thomas, the house he then lived in, and portions of land. To Nathaniel, the house he then occupied, with the land adjoining, and the cranberry meadow, from the corner of the pond to "Troublesome swamp." In his division of the farm, the orchards and the barn were put into his son Thomas' part, and so he added the following item, which is the last clause in his will :- " Further- more, my will is that my son Nathaniel have one-third part of the fruit of the orchards with my son Thomas, year by year, till he have an orchard of his own, and use of the barn till his brother Thomas help him build one." Appoints his w. sole executrix, and his friends Jonathan Hyde and James Trowbridge, overseers. The maiden name of his w. Elizabeth was Cason, of Lavenham, Eng. There is a tradition in the family relative to this mother of the New- ton Hammonds. It is said that when a young woman, in England, she took a walk with a party of young folks and went into the Mint, to see how money was coined. The master of the Mint was pleased with her appearance and chat, and gave her an invitation to try her hand in the operation. She had evidently made some impression upon him, and he was desirous to know if she could make as good an im- pression upon the coin ; so he placed a piece of silver coin upon the die, about the size of half a crown, - she came forward and grasped the lever, and stamped a fair impression upon the coin, whereupon he presented her with the silver piece, which she bore off in triumph; and from her fair hand, it has passed through those of her descend- ants, to the seventh generation, and is now possessed by Stephen Hammond, of Roxbury, whose s. William, of the eighth, is looking wishfully for it.
