CARDER HAZARD, 6 (Mayor George, 5 ; Governor George, 4; Colonel George, 3 ; Robert, 2 ; Thomas, I), was born in 1774; he died March I8, 1823. He settled in Norwich, Connecticut, and made a large fortune in business. He died young. His descendants speak of him as a man of fine physique, charm— ing in manner as in person. Some old letters, carefully treasured by his descend— ants, illustrate somewhat the beauty of his domestic relations. The following was written soon after the death of his wife, to his friends in South Kingstown:— “ Some time has elapsed since I lost the only comfort of my life, the very best of wives, far dearer to me than my own life. She was beloved by every one, as was evidenced during her most distressing sickness of several months, which she bore with perfect composure and resignation, and retained her senses to the last moment; for forty—five nights I never removed my clothes, and for months, night and day was out of her room scarcely for a moment; yet with all that I could do, all that physicians could do, all that her numerous friends could do, could not keep her here to me a day longer. She died a week ago to—day, and left me a little son, by name, George Carder. “ As I have not seen the death of my beloved Sally noticed in the papers, I wish to have it done for my numerous friends in Rhode Island. My wife was in her thirty—fourth year, she died November 9.7, leaving five children. I have enjoyed fourteen years of true love ; never, no never was there her equal. My eldest child is twelve years old, and takes charge of my family, a remarkable child.” Mr. Hazard being a handsome man, was much courted, after his Wife’s death, by marriageable dames. His daughters were afraid that he would give them a step— mother; he however assured them that he would never marry again as long as one of them remained at home as his housekeeper; but he added, “ If you all leave me, I will marry again if I am so old and feeble that I am obliged to be carried into church on a cot—bed.” These few faéts are gleaned from correspondence with his great—granddaughter. He graduated from Rhode Island College, and commenced his married life in Middletown, Rhode Island, where several of his children were born. It was about 1809 that he moved to Norwich, Connecticut, and passed the remainder of his life in that city. He married, April 4, 1804, Sarah Coggeshall, of Boston; she was called the most beautiful girl of her day. She had wonderful rich—brown hair, which at twenty—eight was as white and shining as silver.
