§ 54. OLIVER HAZARD, 4 (George, 3; Robert, 2; Thomas, I), was born September 13, I 7 IO ; died April 14, 1792. It is somewhat difficult to place the resi— dence of Oliver Hazard, but probably he lived and died in South Kingstown. In 1734 he was admitted freeman of the Colony from that town, and in 1743 he had a valuable estate given to him by his father’s will. A part of this land was trusteed, Colonel Thomas Hazard having the guardianship. He was also to have a part of the rents until 1747, but in 1744 he released the land to Oliver, doing so “in consideration of the love I have for my brother.” In 1744 his nephews, William and Caleb, sons of Caleb, sold to him all the rights they had in their grandfather’s estate. At the last date he was called Oliver Hazard of North Kingstown. His daughter Elizabeth was born in South Kingstown in 1737, and his daughter Mercy, grandmother of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, was born in North Kingstown in 1740.

He married, December 9, 1736, Elizabeth Raymond of North Parish, New London. This made him the grandfather of those remarkable men, Oliver Hazard and Matthew Calbraith Perry, and, through them, the ancestor of a long line of brave soldiers, both on land and sea. It would be interesting to know something of the family of Elizabeth Raymond, for, before the Civil War, the name Hazard was rarely found in army or navy lists, and it may be that the “fighting blood ” was taken from the Raymonds. It was first developed in the Perry family in Christopher Raymond Perry, grandson of Oliver Hazard.
