6. James Hammond, built-in January 14, 1794 in Foster, Rhode Island, died Conewango, NY, October 24, 1862 (migration from Rhode Island to Western New York was a common pattern), gravestone here, FindAGrave here (gravestone is in Picayune Articulate Creek Cemetery, Conewango, NY, coordinates: 42.22907, -79.05828); James may have had a brother (uncle?) named Daniel Hammon, who married Sylvia Talbot of Killingly, CT; hubby of Reddish Ann Rex (marriage probably took place in Sheffield, Berkshire, Massachuetts on Feb. 16, 1817), Ruby-red's FindAGrave hither; Reddish was born in 1796, died 1873; she was the girl of John King and Caroline Haxton Sage Rex; the original scrapbook contains a lengthy letter from James Hammond to his children, probably written in 1846; James and Ruby-red had 6 children: Rex James (born 1818), Caroline Southward.

8. Thomas H. Hammond born June 5, 1737 in Cranston, Rhode Island, died March 24, 1814 in Sherburne, Chenango, New York
   Joseph built-in 1767 was the son of Thomas H. Hammond and Alice Stone
   • Thomas was a Revolutionary War individual; Thomas married Patience Stone get-go (Patience was built-in in Providence in 1735, died 1760), then married Alice Stone, probably the sis of Patience; Thomas and Patience had 1 child, John, born November thirty, 1756
   • Thomas patently had a twin sister named Mary, who married Peter Rock, who was probably the brother of Patience and Alice.
   • the Foster Town House (on Foster Middle Route in Foster, Rhode Island) "was congenital in 1796 afterwards the Rhode Island General Associates voted a lottery for erecting 'Elder Hammond's Meeting Firm' in 1795." "Elder Hammond" is probably Thomas Hammond or his son, John
   • Alice born July 30, 1738 in Cranston, died May, 1826 in Dryden, Tompkins, New York
   • Thomas may accept been the son of John Hammond, born nearly 1710 in Rhode Island, died in Newport; it's more probable that Thomas was the son of Joseph Hammond (1717-1792) and his married woman, Phoebe/Pheobe (Joseph was also married to Elizabeth Paine; I'm non sure whether he married Elizabeth first or Phoebe first)
   • Alice'south parents were Peter Stone Jr. (born in Warwick, RI on Oct. 22, 1698, died in Cranston on Feb. 17, 1783) and Patience Press Stone (1700-1760)
   • Thomas and Alice had 9 children: Phebe (born Baronial 14, 1763), Amy (born April 7, 1765), Joseph (born March nine, 1767), Lydia (born November 25, 1768), Mary Molly (born Dec 23, 1770), James (born October 22, 1772), Thomas Jr. (born March 5, 1775), Daniel (born June 14, 1777), and Nancy (built-in January 7, 1782); peradventure the first daughter was named Phebe considering Thomas' mother was Phoebe/Pheobe
   • Peter Stone Sr. was born on March 14, 1672 in Warwick, married Elizabeth Shaw on June 25, 1696
   • Peter Sr.'due south father was Hugh Stone, born 1638 in Warwick, died in Cranston in 1732
9. Joseph Hammond, born August 28, 1717 probably in Norwich, CT; eldest of 5 or 6 children; died Newport, Rhode Isle, May 5, 1792; married Phoebe/Pheobe, about whom little is known; as well married Elizabeth Paine on Dec. 27, 1738 in Newport
   • Joseph and Elizabeth had i child, John Arnold Hammond (1729-1781); since John Arnold Hammond was built-in 8 years earlier Thomas H. Hammond, we can assume that Joseph built-in 1717 was married to Phoebe/Pheobe earlier he was married to Elizabeth Paine
   • Elizabeth buried in Newport Common Burying Ground, husband may be in Isle Cemetery in Newport (they have a carte du jour catalog, and their archway is on Warren St.)
   • Joseph'south youngest brother was William (born 1731 or 1733, died 1809), who was married to Chloe Wilbur (1733-1818); for more on William, click hither and here

Their oldest son was Pardon Tillinghast Hammond (born Jan. 31, 1792, died Sept. 17, 1872, married to Roby Hopkins Stanton)
   • For more than on connections to Tillinghasts and Stantons, click here
   • In 1798, William (1766-1827) congenital the Hammond House, 49 Chief Street, Wickford, Rhode Island. (For more on the Hammond House, click hither, and so search for "Hammond.")
   • Alice Tillinghast was the daughter of Pardon Tillinghast (1736-1805) and Ruth Fry (1734-1776). Pardon built-in 1736 was the son of Philip Tillinghast (1707-1787), who was the son of Pardon Tillinghast (1668-1743), who was the son of Pardon Tillinghast (1622-1718) and Lydia Taber (1640-1718); Pardon born 1622 has a large gravestone on Benefit Street in Providence, side by side to the Barker Playhouse. Pardon Tillinghast was built-in in England in 1622, came to Providence in 1643, and died in 1718 at the age of 96
   • One of William and Alice'south sons was William Gardiner Hammond (1802-1858), who married Sarah Tillinghast Bull (1808-1888). (Mayhap William and Sarah were cousins.) They had a son, George Tillinghast Hammond (born March 1, 1836 in Newport, RI, died March viii, 1897 in Middletown, RI), who was the editor and proprietor of the Newport Daily News from 1857 to 1866. George born 1836 was married to Mary Elizabeth Shipman on Nov. 22, 1855 in New York
10. Joseph Hammond, born November xvi, 1690, maybe in England, peradventure in Swansea, MA; died North Kingstown, Rhode Isle, June 24, 1776, at historic period 85; married Rachel Gardiner (born March 25, 1696, died January 8, 1757, girl of William Gardiner) about 1715
    • began equally a tailor in Swansea, then moved to Due north Kingstown, Rhode Isle, and bought a farm on what has ever since been known every bit "Hammond Hill"
    • Hammond Hill overlooks Narrow River; when the famous philosopher Bishop Berkeley was living in Rhode Island, and planning to start a college, Hammond Hill was considered as a possible site
    • William Gardiner (father of Rachel Gardiner Hammond, built-in 1696) was the quaternary son of Herodias Long Gardiner and George Gardiner (for more than nearly Herodias, click here). One of the descendants of Herodias was Stephen Douglas, who debated Lincoln. (Douglas' middle proper noun was Arnold, and he was related to the famous traitor Bridegroom Arnold, and to an earlier Bridegroom Arnold who became governor of Rhode Isle in 1657.) George was Herodias' 2nd husband. Her beginning husband, John Hicks, later moved to Flushing; he lived in Flushing when the Dutch controlled New York, and it was called New Netherland.ane Herodias' third husband, John Porter, was an early settler of Portsmouth and Southward Kingstown.
    • Joseph born 1690 may accept been the son of William Hammond (1659-1716) and Elizabeth Fiske (1659-1740). William was born in Watertown about 1659, died in Watertown in Jan., 1716. William born 1659 married Elizabeth born 1659 on May 22, 1677 in Wenham, MA
    • Joseph Hammond (born 1690) is buried in a Hammond cemetery at 2150 Tower Hill Road, North Kingstown, Rhode Island, backside horse barn, about .2 miles from Tower Hill Road; phone number for farm/stable is 401-855-4589 (owner is Gary One thousand., an employee is Heather)
    • "Joseph Hammond of North Kingstown was non closely related to the Rehoboth/Swansea Hammonds" ("The Hammonds of Rehoboth and Swansea, Massachusetts", Eugene C. Zubrinsky, New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 149(1995), pp. 211-229)
    • The name "Benjamin" appears amidst Joseph's children and grandchildren. Is in that location a connection to the Benjamin Hammond who endemic the gristmill where Gilbert Stuart was born? The gristmill can be visited today, and is only a short distance from Hammond Loma. Yes, at that place is a connection: Benjamin was the sixth kid of William Hammond (2/19/1733-1/23/1809), who was the 7th child of Joseph Hammond (1690-1776); Benjamin's dates: born in Newport 3/12/1769, died North Kingstown 3/vii/1834, merely before turning 65; co-ordinate to the website of the Gilbert Stuart Museum, "The fully restored eighteenth-century Hammond Gristmill houses the original granite millstones dated 1757. The mill was very of import to local farmers, grinding their whitecap flint corn into corn repast for the famous Rhode Island jonnycakes. A succession of milling families lived in the Birthplace house and operated the gristmill. One such family, the Hammonds, were widely-known for their finely ground cornmeal. They lived here and operated the gristmill from 1813 to 1867"
    • Benjamin Hammond had 8 children -- 6 with his commencement wife, ii with his second wife; his showtime wife was Ruth Cranston or Sarah Nichols (run across p. 493 of volume one of Frederick Stam Hammond'due south work on Hammond genealogy; the copy in the Rhode Island Historical Club Library has a handwritten annotation on that folio); Ruth died June, 1810, in her 37th year; Benjamin's second wife was Hannah Hazard, 1790-1840; Benjamin'south 4th child was Wilbur, who is cached near the Gilbert Stuart House with Benjamin and Ruth; Wilbur died 4/26/1867, in his 63rd year; Benjamin'southward 2nd child was Cranston, which may strengthen the argument that his first wife was Ruth Cranston
    • according to Frederick Stam Hammond, "trivial can be learned about Benjamin Hammond"; Frederick Stam Hammond doesn't seem to know that Benjamin was connected to the gristmill

• run into History and Genealogies of the Hammond Families in America: 1000-1902, past Frederick Stam Hammond (a fat, red, 2-volume book) p. 476, vol. one; this book connects Joseph Hammond, born 1690, with William Hammond who was born in 1635 and died in 1675 in King Philip's War; this is probably wrong; for more data, click here
• Newport Historical Club Library has a binder on Hammonds, with various messages, emails, etc.; they also take various useful books; besides try the Rhode Island Historical Society Library and the library of the New England Celebrated Genealogical Society, which is at 99 Newbury Street in Boston
• As for my paternal grandmother'south family, my father's mother was Nellie McKinnon, whose family was from Scotland (originally the Isle of Mull, later Edinburgh); she was the youngest of six children; her siblings were Katherine (Kittie), Beatrice (Bea), Margaret, David, and John; her father'south proper name was probably John; Nellie was born in 1895, and came to the U.South. at nearly age six; when she came to the U.S., her mother had already died; Nellie too died young (1934); the 1910 federal demography says that Nellie's existent proper noun was Helen, and she was xiv at the time of the 1910 demography; her begetter's proper noun was Malcolm (age 59 in 1910), her sisters were Elizabeth (24), Margaret (20), and Catherine (16), her brother was David (18); perhaps John had his ain residence; they're living in Brooklyn (Ward 8, District 0144/38, 466 47th Street); Malcolm is an fe-worker in a shipyard, David is a stonecutter in a stoneyard (perhaps this led to tombstone business?), Margaret is a typist in a law function; Elizabeth, Catherine and Helen aren't working
• in 1930 census, Malcolm is 79, he's living on Whaleneck Bulldoze (perhaps #98) in Hempstead/Merrick, he owns a firm valued at $2,000, he doesn't own a radio, he immigrated in 1872 (leaving family unit backside at first? or was he then single?), he's retired, he married at 24, he didn't attend school but he can read and write, he was built-in in Scotland, as were both his parents
• my mother remembers David McKinnon as very successful, started Brooklyn insurance business, may have attended my female parent's wedding, about 70 at time of wedding; my mother has no recollection of John
• Margaret married a Mr. Johnston; in her later years, Margaret lived in Mt. Vernon, New York, later moved to Bronxville, New York; Margaret lived to be at least 83; Margaret had ii sons, Eddie and Donald; Eddie Johnston lived with his female parent until she died, Eddie didn�t marry; Donald married Eileen Mott (Mott heiress), had perhaps ii children, lived in Timonium, Maryland
• My father'due south maternal grandfather, Malcolm lived on the same street in Hempstead, New York, as my father, and enjoyed driving, lived to be quite old
• Kitty (Catherine) was married, living in Hempstead, stayed there, she had 3 boys, Malcolm, Eddie, and Bruce Sprague; Mr. Sprague had state in Barre, Vermont, where granite for tombstones was quarried; tombstone concern near Hempstead cemetery, my father'south father buried with Nellie/Helen in that cemetery; Gladys Doty (my paternal grandfather'south 2nd wife) buried with Doty family unit (Grace, Gladys, Russell, Clarence; Grace married Mr. Polly, had sons Eddie and David; Clarence married Ethel, had a son named Lee Alden Doty)
• Kitty lived to be onetime, played golf game into her 80�s
• Beatrice (Bea) brought up her siblings, probably never married; probably lived in Brooklyn
• My paternal grandparents are buried in Greenfield Cemetery, Uniondale, New York. (Click hither for cemetery map.) This cemetery also has other relatives — Hammonds, Spragues, and Dotys.

Jarvis Side (my female parent'due south side):

• my female parent'southward sister was Edythe Hall Jarvis
• my mother's parents were Walter Frederick Jarvis and Edythe Mae Dixon (born February 8, 1904)
• Edythe Mae Dixon was built-in in New York City. When she was iii months old, her parents took her to Germany (Dresden). She lived there until she was ten years one-time, and learned German. In 1914, when Earth State of war I was breaking out, she was in Innsbruck with her mother, and her father cabled, "Leave for the U.S. as shortly as possible." So they went to the U.S. on a British destroyer. She then attended a French schoolhouse in New York City, The Velton School. So she learned French, in addition to High german and English. And so she went to Smith College, merely was dismissed in her first year (she apparently hid a volume that a class was using, and denied she had information technology).
• my maternal grandmother was the daughter of James Marsh Dixon, originally of Springfield, Missouri; husband of
• Edythe Hall Dixon, born Edythe Mae Hall; she had ii sisters who were much older than she: Jennie Hall Larry and Ella Hall Cooke; the iii sisters had a business called Hall, Larry, Cooke Real Manor; they probably owned apartment buildings at 3115 Broadway and 503 Amsterdam Ave.; Ella Hall Cooke probably didn't take children; a piffling silverish box was passed down from Mr. Cooke to my maternal grandmother; the box is inscribed
  O. W. Cooke from his friend C. V. 5. Ward
  June 24, 1878
  the three sisters (Jennie Larry, Ella Cooke, and Edythe Dixon) were the daughters of
• William Hall, a New York furrier with a store in lower Manhattan and a dwelling on Staten Isle; his daughter Edythe Hall Dixon may be buried on Staten Island
• James Marsh Dixon was an executive with an international tobacco company. He was imprisoned briefly in Turkey at the start of World War I, freed with help from Ambassador Henry Morgenthau
• James Marsh Dixon was the eldest child of Josiah (Joseph?) B. Dixon, built-in Burlington, Iowa; may have lived in Springfield, Missouri; born October 21, 1847, died May 14, 1918 in Springfield, Missouri; married to Ida K. Curtis.
• James Marsh Dixon�s paternal grandfather was probably Thomas Due south. Dixon, built-in in Pennsylvania in 1792.
• James Marsh Dixon had ii younger brothers (Joseph W. and Guy East.), and one younger sister (Ida).
• James Marsh Dixon�south mother, Ida K. Curtis, was born June 30, 1854 in Memphis, died April 13, 1930 in Corvallis, Oregon. Ida�s mother was Ophelia Farrell, born in Ohio December 27, 1815, died in Springfield, Missouri March 26, 1911. Ida�s father was Stephen B. Curtis, born in New York February 22, 1804, died in Tennessee July 22, 1861.
• Stephen�due south parents were Comfort Curtis and Rachel Chase.
• Rachel was born in Dutchess County, New York, on February 3, 1756, and died on October 26, 1835.
• The Hunt family goes all the style back to Abraham Chase, born October half-dozen, 1652 in Yarmouth, Massachusetts.
• Condolement Curtis was built-in on July 17, 1746 in New York, and died April 26, 1817. One of his descendants, Ernest Alonzo Curtis, wrote to Harlow Curtis in 1950 that �Comfort Curtis founded and occupied the Curtis Homestead on �Curtis Hill�, a little north and due west of White Creek.... Condolement and nearly all of the Baptist Congregation during the Revolutionary War remained loyal to England and on the eve of the Battle of Bennington nigh all of the men of fighting age joined Full general Von Phister under the Hessian Full general Baum, and were defeated and both Generals killed. The state of all the fighting Tories near White Creek was confiscated but Comfort Curtis' land was not taken from him.�
• According to the 1930 census, Edythe Hall Dixon was living lone in Manhattan at historic period 53, had no occupation, was renting for $192/month, was married, was age 20 at spousal relationship, was built-in Jan 12, 1878 in New York City, her father and mother were born in New York. Her historic period is ambiguous, and every document gives a different year-of-birth for her. She was separated, and possibly eventually divorced, from her husband.
• According to a family rumor (which I oasis�t been able to confirm), my maternal grandmother�s ancestors included Jane Rebecca McFarren, who lived in Tennessee and was a large slaveholder.
• My maternal grandfather, Walter Frederick Jarvis, was born in Philadelphia on August 4, probably in 1893, and died in July 1965 (I remember him slightly, and remember my mother crying when she received the phone call saying that he had died). His Social Security number was 113-01-5804. He was a man-about-town before getting married; he moved in a fast crowd, and patently dated movie stars, including a woman whose first proper name was Louise (Mary Louise Brooks?). My grandmother'due south female parent didn't attend her wedding ceremony, maybe because she frowned on Walter Jarvis' fast life, peradventure considering she thought he was from a lower course.
• According to family unit legend, Walter F. Jarvis was related to Anna Jarvis, founder of Mother's Day.
• Walter F. Jarvis had a dissimilar final name at nativity, a more than Germanic name, perhaps beginning �Sch�. During Globe War I, when anti-German feeling was running high, he dropped his Germanic final name, and took his mother�south maiden proper noun, Jarvis. Walter F. Jarvis may have been born in Germantown, which may be a section of Philadelphia.
• Walter F. Jarvis had at least 2 brothers: Raymond (who married Barbara; they had a son named Raymond Jr. and a girl named Barbara), and Harold, who was a minister. The 1930 Federal Demography for New York >> Kings Canton >> Brooklyn >> Commune 874 lists Raymond E. Jarvis, age 33, born Pennsylvania, both parents born Pennsylvania, occupation: clerk, married to Barbara L. Jarvis, historic period 31; a son, Raymond Eastward. Jarvis Jr., viii years old, a daughter Barbara, 3 years old.
• The 1920 Federal Census for Manhattan Assembly District 19 >> 1320 lists Joseph Jarvis age 76, his wife Jeanette age 51 (could be 61, hard to read), their son Walter age 28, other son Raymond historic period 24, and Raymond'southward wife Barbara. Joseph is listed as born in Pennsylvania, his father and female parent built-in in Germany (Germans often settled around Philadelphia); Jeanette is listed every bit born in Pennsylvania, her parents both built-in in England.
• The 1930 census describes Harold as head of family, Jeannette as mother. They alive at 85 Orange Street, Brooklyn Heights, and pay $60/month hire (in 1920, they lived at West 121 Street, Manhattan). Jeannette married at 17, became a widow in the 1920s. Since Jeannette�s father is described, in both the 1920 and 1930 census, as born in England, I don�t think Jeannette is related to the Jarvis family that�s cached in Trinity Churchyard (near Wall Street), though the Trinity Jarvis family unit has a Jeannette (Jeannette Hart Jarvis Loomis, 1815-1897).
• Raymond and Barbara had two children, "trivial Raymond" born about 1924, and "little Barbara" born most 1927; Barbara had 1 child, Robert F. Kennison, born eighteen May 1961, in Orange County, CA; "footling Raymond" had ii adopted children, may have married twice, lived in West considering he had bad asthma and was seeking different climate

My wife's family:

• Yafei had relatives in Seattle, and visited them several times. Her father's cousin, Winnie Lee, lived in Seattle with her husband, Ven. Ven was the son of a full general named Li Mo-an (or Li Mo'An, or Li Moan), who had attended the Whampoa Military Academy, fought against the Japanese, and may have fought against the Chinese Communists. Yafei was on friendly terms with Li Mo-an; in 1994, Yafei and I visited the general in Beijing.
  Here's a film of Li Mo-an in his ground forces days:

  Footnotes

  1.

  John Hicks was the father of Thomas Hicks (born about 1641, died almost 1741), who had a son named Jacob Hicks (born about 1669, died about 1755), who had a son named John Hicks (born nigh 1710?), who had a son named Elias Hicks (1748-1830). Elias was a prominent Quaker minister and Abolitionist. In 1829, the immature Walt Whitman heard Elias Hicks preach in Brooklyn. Hicks' views were somewhat unorthodox, and led to a dissever inside the Quaker community, the so-called Hicksite-Orthodox split up. Hicks' cousin, Edward Hicks, was a well-known painter. A branch of the Hicks family started the town of Hicksville, New York. back
