Young Thomas was certainly badly “hit” about the heart; but his head seemed in no more danger of being broken than his neck. But then one must remem— ber that “ Miss Nancy ” was really an exceptionally beautiful woman. Thomas B. Hazard (“ Nailor Tom ”), was perhaps one of her

Nancy Rodman were married last week, AMEN.” As

this is the only time in his diary where “Amen” 13

used, it would seem to be a sigh of resignation, equiva- lent to, “ The Lord’s will be done.”

§ 363. ROWLAND HAZARD, 6 (Thomas, 5; Robert, 4; Thomas, 3; Rob— ert, 2 ; Thomas, 1), was born the fourth of the fourth month, second day of the week, about ten o’clock in the forenoon, 1763 ; he died July 1, 1835. He mar— ried, in 1793, Mary Peace, daughter of Isaac Peace. She died June 28, I852. Peacedale was named in honor of this lady, and there Rowland Hazard early established a manufaéturing business. The first carding—machines set in South Kingstown were in operation here, and as early as 1800 the industry was estab— lished which has since developed into the Peacedale Manufacturing Company.‘ He also had shipping interests, first at Charleston, South Carolina, and afterward in Narragansett.
