     square, with handsome oak staircase and balustrade. In the south end of the 
     
     house was the parlor, a very large room, in one corner of which was the buffet, 
     
     with the quaintly carved, scrolled back and top, that seems to have been a fea-1 
     
     ture common to the houses ofany pretension in Colonial days. The house was 
     
     two stories high in front, but the roof ran down to the first story in the rear, a 
     
     style still to be seen in some of the old houses that have been allowed to stand 
     
     as monuments to the old builders. By his will, 
     
    

    
     George gave this house, with all outbuildings and (3)9 gfi. 
     
     an “Island called Ram Island,” to his son George 7%” W 
     
     Hazard, who was Mayor of Newport. 
     
    

    
     He married Sarah, daughter of James and Mary (Whipple) )Carder. She was 
     
     born May 14, 1705, and died 1738, after her husband.

     §53. THOMAS HAZARD, 4 (George, 3 ; Robert, 2 ; Thomas, I), was born 
     
     March 30, I704, and died about 1787. He was Deputy in 1745, ’48, ’52, ’53, 
     
     ’55, ’56; in 1757 he was Assistant; in 174.5 he was appointed Major, and in 
     
     174.8, Colonel, by which title he is best known by his descendants. In 1725, he 
     
     being then twenty—one years of age, his father, Colonel George Hazard, conveyed to 
     
     him a “ certain tract of land, being by estimation ten acres, be it more or less . . 
     
     with all Housings, Mills, Presses, Shears, and other things which may tend or 
     
     belong to the Cloathing trade.” This property was the fulling mill established 
     
     by his father, Colonel George Hazard, in 1722—3, near what is now known as 
     
     Moorsfield, at a place called Lawton’s saw—mill. The land was a part of the 
     
     homestead farm of Robert (2) Hazard. This whole farm of three hundred acres 
     
     was given to Colonel Thomas by will, in 1743, and by him sold to John Rose in 
     
     I748. The residence of Colonel Thomas is not precisely known, although he was 
     
     certainly living in Boston Neck in 1752, when his daughter Sarah was married 
     
     to her second cousin, George Hazard, son of George, and grandson of Thomas (3) 
     
     Hazard. 
     
     A certain unity of opinion, and tradition, all seem to point to the faét that he 
     
     was a man of ability; and that he was well educated is proved by the formal, 
     
     facile hand—writing seen in his family Bible, and in the few autograph documents 
     
     which escaped the destroying touch of time, and have been handed down to his 
     
     descendants.
