§ 403. THOMAS HAZARD, 6 (Thomas, 5; Benjamin,4; Thomas, 3 ; Robert, 2; Thomas, I), was born May 8, I787 ; died April 16, 1846. He married March 13, 1814, Ruth, daughter of James and Ann (Rodman) Carpenter; she was born 1789; died August 7, 1860. He was a peculiar man.

It is needless to add that, after this occurrence, he was, by the advice of the surgeon, sent home as unfit for service. Mr. James

Wilson, who kindly gave this account, says that he saw him once on Tower Hill with
