HAMMOND.
A widow of the above name came to Industry with her three daugh- ters and lived during the following winter in the old Pike house, near Withee's Corner. Tradition says seven families, numbering thirty-five persons, spent the winter together there. It is supposed that the Ham- monds came from Connecticut. The father was a sea captain and brought his family to Gardiner, Me., in his own vessel. He was soon after drowned at sea, as the tradition runs. It seems probable that the family had relatives in Industry, otherwise they would not have come to this town to reside.

HATCH.
DAVID HATCH, who settled at the head of Clear Water Pond in In- (lustry in the spring of 1850, is supposed to be a descendant of Thomas Hatch,' who, with his wife Grace, came to America from Sandwich, Kent Co., England, with Governor John Winthrop and his party, land- ing at Salem, Mass., early in the year 1630. About 1638, O. S., Thomas Hatch settled in Yarmouth, Mass., where he died in 1661, leaving a widow Grace * and daughter Lydia, who married, Dec. 19, 1650. Henry Taylor ; also a son Jonathan 2 (born about 1624), who married, April 11, 1646, Sarah Rowley, daughter of Henry and - (Palmer) Rowley, and was subsequently one of the original proprietors and pioneer settlers of the present town of Falmouth, Mass. Jonathan Hatch 2 was a man of strict, unbending integrity, possessed of indomitable perseverance and energy. From him descended the numerous Hatch family of Falmouth, whose descendants are now scattered over the length and breadth of the civilized world. His early life, passed away from home, had been a checkered one, characterized by many changes and hardships. He was the father of eleven children, seven sons and four daughters. Nine of these children grew to manhood and womanhood, and in turn had fam- ilies of their own. He died in Falmouth, Mass., Dec. - , 1710, aged about 84 years .; The fourth child of Jonathan and Sarah ( Rowley) Hatch was Joseph,3 born May 7, 1654 (June 10, 1654, Falmouth Rec.) He was the most distinguished of Jonathan's sons-a soldier in King Philip's War, 1675-6, lieutenant in the militia in 1702, and afterward captain. He inherited the homestead. Married, Dec. 7, 1683, Amy Allen, of Chilmark. She joined the church at Barnstable and was baptized Aug. 3, 1701. On the formation of a church in Falmouth,
* Amos Otis, author of " Barnstable Notes, " who is of the opinion that Grace was a second wife, inferentially says : " If Jonathan and Lydia had been her children, she would not have allowed them in youth to have been aliens from their father's house and exposed to all the tempta- tions of a wicked world. I have no other evidence that she was a second wife. I want no other."
This does not agree with date of his birth, which, as given by Amos Otis ( Barnstable Notes, p. 463) would make him So.

Oct. 10, 1708, she, with others, was dismissed to that church. He died Feb. 16, 1735, aged 83 years. The fourth child of Joseph and Amy (Allen) Hatch was Ichabod,+ born Oct. 28. 1691 ; married, Dec. 2, 1714, Abigail Weeks, and settled in Tolland, Conn. The sixth child of Ich- abod was David,5 born Sept. 24, 1726. It is believed that he returned to Falmouth and there married, March 19, 1749, Mary Tobey, of Fal- mouth. It is probable that this David married a second wife, Elizabeth, prior to July 10, 1777, at which time he conveyed certain lands to his sons Abel and Micah.# The date of David's death is unknown, but he is supposed to have moved to Western Maine near the close of the eighteenth century. The children of David were :
I. DAVID, who settled in Falmouth, or the adjoining town of Sandwich, Mass. ABEL, b. April 9, 1752; m. Sept. 14, 1777, Fear Weeks (b. Dec. 26, 1757). MICAH, settled on Onion River in Vermont.

Aug. 9, 1802, he purchased of Ichabod McLain the farm in the northeast corner of Farm- ington now owned by his grandson, Reuben Hatch. He there spent the remainder of his life and died after a brief illness, May 16, 1814, aged 62 years. His widow died Feb. - , 1833, aged 75 years. Children.

4. DAVID HATCH, son of Reuben and Thankful (Collins) Hatch, married Harriet Collins. The boyhood of Mr. Hatch, like that of most farmer's sons, was an uneventful one. On attaining his majority he found employment with the neighboring farmers, sometimes working for the same person the entire season. The winter months were usually spent in the lumbering regions of Northern Maine. The spring follow- ing his marriage he purchased the farm in Industry now ( 1892) owned and occupied by Frank W. Stetson. Here he resided for thirteen years, and here his four children were born. Early in the winter of 1863, he sold to Col. James Davis, of Salem, and removed to the adjoning town of Stark, where he remained three years. Returning to Industry he settled at West's Mills, where he owned and operated the saw and shingle-mill in company with Albert Shaw. Afterward engaged in farming. His wife, who had been in feeble health for many years, died Aug. 16, 1882, and during the remainder of his life he lived with his children. He was somewhat reserved iu his intercourse with his fellowmen, hence those most intimately acquainted with him best appreciated his sterling char- acter and moral worth. He loved the right and detested sham, fraud and deceit. He was a kind father, manifesting a deep solicitude for the welfare and happiness of his children, even to the close of his life. Both he and his wife were devout christians and worthy members of the Methodist Church in Industry. He died in New Sharon, Me., Nov. 12, 1891, aged 67 years, 9 months and 20 days. His wife was a fine scholar and a successful school teacher prior to her marriage, and died at the age of 64 years, loved and respected by a wide circle of friends.

HAYES.
JACOB HAYES,+ who came to Industry about 1809, traces his ancestry to John Hayes,' who with his brother Ichabod immigrated to this coun- try in 1680. Ichabod, it is believed, went South. John settled in what is now Dover, N. H. He married a Miss Horne, who is said to have been but thirteen years of age, as one has written, "as true now as ever." To John Hayes, by his marriage with Miss Horne, were born seven sons. Peter,2 the fifth son, was born April 25, 1688, and died March 28, 1757. He married Sarah Wingate (born Feb. 17, 1697) ; died in Berwick, March 28, 1779. Their children were Ichabod,3 John.3 Reuben,3 Eli- jah.3 Elijah,3 youngest son of Peter,2 was born Jan. 4, 1741, O. S., and died Nov. 10, 1805. He married Elizabeth Chadbourne, of Berwick, Jan. 8, 1764. He was the father of sixteen children, twelve of whom grew up to maturity and most of them lived to old age. Of these Jacob + was born in Berwick, District of Maine, Feb. 26, 1787. He came to Industry about 1809, as has already been stated, and purchased a farm (lot No. 18) of Jonathan Knowlton, Jr., situated on the north side of Bannock Hill. He married. Feb. 3, 1811, Ruth Hobbs (born March 18. 1789), daughter of Stephen and Abigail (Varney) Hobbs, of Ber- wick. Soon after his marriage he exchanged farms with John Patterson and removed to the south side of the same hill, where he continued to live until his death. which occurred March 17, 1853. He was a prac- tical farmer, and under his cultivation the farm which he received in exchange with Mr. Patterson became one of the best in town. He was especially interested in sheep husbandry, and it is said that he made

I. STEPHEN HOBBS HAYES.5 son of Jacob and Ruth ( Hobbs) Hayes, married Elizabeth Bean. Fitted for college at Farmington and subse- quently entered Bowdoin College, from which he graduated in the regu- lar course in 1838. Previous to and during his college course, he taught several terms of school in Industry and elsewhere. After graduating he was principal of the Lincoln Academy at Damariscotta for two years. Entering the Bangor Theological Seminary in 1840, he graduated three years later. In the autumn of that year he became pastor of the Con- gregational Church in Frontport, now Winterport, Me., situated at the head of winter navigation on the Penobscot River, for years a large ship- building town, where he continued for fifteen years. In March, 1858, he accepted a call to the Union Congregational Church in South Wey- mouth, Mass. There he remained for thirteen years. From 1870 to 1880 he was pastor of the Salem and Mariner's Church, Boston. His ministry had been so unbroken that from his entrance on his first pas- torate to the close he was not without his own pulpit for a sabbath. In later years, while preaching at times, he has been connected with the Young Ladies' Home and Day School at 68 Chester Square, Boston, es- tablished by Mrs. Hayes in 1872 .* His wife died in South Weymouth, Jan. 1, 1863, aged 48 years. June 2, 1869, he married Mary E. Cobb,

For a year he was on the report- er's staff of the New York Sun. He then entered the service of the Union Bridge Company at Buffalo, N. Y., in the engineer's depart- ment. Hle had inherited a delicate constitution and here his health failed. By advice of his physician he went to Colorado and spent two or three years there and in New Mexico, but with no permanent relief to his lungs. He returned in the spring of 1886 and spent the sum- mer with his friends in Boston, going to the seashore and the moun- tains, but having little strength. In November he visited his friends in Buffalo, where he failed rapidly and died Jan. 29, 1887. Hle had an active mind and a fine literary taste. He was fond of books and read much and with discrimination. He loved music and painting, and might have excelled in either. He was choice of his friends and drew them strongly to him.
