“After the death of Mr. Bours, his widow wedded, February 9.7, 1763, Reverend Samuel Fayerweather. They were married in Newport by the Reverend Mar— maduke Browne, and the record adds: ‘And on that day (an exceeding cold day), Mr. F ayerweather preached on the occasion from these words to a large auditory : “ Do all to the glory of God.” ’ Mr. Samuel Fayerweather was the son of Thomas Fayerweather, of Boston. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1743; was ordained a Congregational minister, and settled over the second Congregational Church in Newport, in 1754. The Reverend Doctor Stiles was his successor. Mr. Fayerweather was ordained a Presbyter in the Episcopal Church, in 1756, in England. The degree of Master of Arts was conferred on him by the University of Oxford in the same year. Mr. Fayerweather died in 178 1, aged about sixty—one.” An extract from his will reads : “ ‘ I give all my library and books to King’s (now Columbia) College, New York, and ten pounds ster- ling, and my large picture of myself. And my desire is, that the corporation may suffer said picture to be hung up in the library room of said College forever. Also my silver framed square picture ofmyself, to my sister HannahWinthrope of Cambridge. My wife's picture of herself, to her niece, the wife of John Channing. My oval picture of myself, framed with silver, to my nephew, John Winthrope, of Bostdn, merchant.’ ” “ The executor of his will, Mathew Robinson, Esquire, received Mr. Fayerweather’s effects, and being aged and infirm, neglected the in- juné‘tions of the testator. He died ten years afterwards at an advanced age, and insolvent, and the pictures bequeathed by the Reverend Mr. F ayerweather were sold at auction as Mr. Robinson’s property, there being no legatee, or friends in this quarter to claim them. The large picture, by Copley, in his academical hon- ors at Oxford, is now (1847) in my house,I the others were in this town some years since. His library was also sold, and is now lost, except a few volumes in possession of the Church in Narragansett. The Reverend Mr. F ayerweather, while rector, baptized forty—five persons.” 2

§234. CARDER HAZARD, 5 (Governor George, 4; George, 3; Robert, 2; Thomas, I), was born August I I, 1734.; he died November 24., 1792. State and Colonial records give us something of the character of Carder Hazard, but it is from old papers, letters and family traditions, that we learn to know the grace of his private life. In the records we find his name in 1757, as admitted freeman of the Colony from South Kingstown; from that time until 1787, when he was chosen Chief Justice, there is scarcely a year during which he is not found filling some position of trust in the Colony as assistant, deputy, or judge; it is by his title of Judge that he is best known by his descendants. With justice, Carder Hazard could have written after his name, “ Gentleman,” a title often found in old deeds and wills; but he, more in keeping with the modesty of his character, writes “Yeoman.” In all the relations of his domestic life he was exceedingly gentle and lovable. In personal appearance he was tall and well formed, fair in
