     Ponds.” His will, proved in 174.3, gives to his son Colonel Thomas Hazard “the 
     
     homestead farm where I now live, with all housings, goods, chattels, and credit, 
     
     and he to have profits till 174.7 of northern part of Back Side farm, and profits 
     
     of land given to grandsons Robert and Caleb, sons of my son Caleb, till said 
     
     Caleb is twenty—one, my son Caleb having had his share of my estate before his 
     
     death.” 
     
    

    
     To his son Oliver was given three hundred acres of land in North Kingstown, 
     
     this being in addition to other land given him by deed. Land in Point Judith, 
     
     including the Foddering Place, with islands in the pond, had been given to his 
     
     son Governor George Hazard, who died before his father. Colonel Thomas 
     
     Hazard was made residuary legatee. 
     
    

    
     Mr. Hazard’s slaves were named Jack, Jane, Caesar, Ming, Prish,Betty, Jenny, 
     
     Joe, Paro, Harry, Will, Jacob, John, Cufi’, and infants Dinah and Moll. As the 
     
     old slaves seem to be more or less identified with the old plantations and the old 
     
     masters, it does not seem out of place to mention them here. 
     
    

    
     George Hazard married Penelope, daughter of Caleb and Abigail (Wilbur) Ar— 
     
     nold, and granddaughter of Governor Benedict Arnold. She was born August 3, 
     
     1669, and died in 174.2. '

     §8- STEPHEN HAZARD, 3 (Robert, 2; Thomas, I). The date ofhis birth 
     
     is not known; he died September 29, 1727. He was an active and enterprising 
     
     spirit in the aficairs of the Colony. A large landholder, he early in the century saw 
     
     the possibilities for water—power in North Kingstown, and bought large tracts of 
     
     land so situated as to control the power, near Bissell’s (now Hamilton) Mills. It is 
     
     possible that he built the mill, that was after his death owned by his son Thomas. 
     
     He was admitted freeman in the Colony in 1696, but previously to this date (in 
     
     1687), he was taxed II. in Kingstown. In 1702, ’06, ’08,’09, ’15, he was Deputy; 
     
     in 1707, ’08, ’19, ’20, ’21, ’22, he was Assistant. In 1707 he was appointed Justice 
     
     of the Peace for Kingstown : I this oflice gave him the title of Judge, by which he 
     
     is known by his descendants. In 1715 he was allowed 185. by the Assembly for 
     
     running the line between Eldred’s purchase and Hall’s purchase.2 
     
    

    
     On January 14., 1692, his father Robert gave him by deed “all my rights in Point
