FIFTH GENERATION 39

“Cousin Hazard ” had mounted his horse and ridden over the brow of the hill well out of sight, she turned to enter the house. “Wait awhile,” said Mrs. Hazard,“ my husband will return, for he has forgotten something , ” and pres— ently was heard the clatter of the steel— shod hoofs of the returning horse. Without a word spoken, the rider, as he reached the gate, bent down and kissed the up— turned face of the waiting wife. This incident occurred late in life, and Is all the more touching for the reason, that it stands in proof of that steadfast love which naturally combines with “ the steadfast convictions,” that we are told controlled his life. He married, on March 27, 1742, Elizabeth,

daughter of Governor William and Martha (Potter)

Robinson, she was born on June 16,1724; she died on /3

February 5, 1804.. She was a great—granddaughter of '

Thomas Hazard, the first in America, and consequently

The record of the children of Thomas Hazard was taken from a little book en— titled Extmct: from the 70mm! of Sara/z Howland, published in 1890, by How— land Pell of New York.
