     §725. SYLVESTER ROBINSON HAZARD, 7 (Thomas, 6; George, 5, 
     
     George, 4; Thomas, 3; Robert, 2; Thomas, I), was born March 3, 1791, on 
     
     Little Neck Farm on Point Judith. When he was nine years old, his parents, 
     
     leaving the old home that had been in the possession of the Hazard family for 
     
     over one hundred years, made a new home in Newport, Rhode Island, almost in 
     
     sight of the paternal Hazard and Robinson mansion—houses. Here he received 
     
     his education. In the war of 1812, being then twenty—one years of age, he 
     
     promptly responded to the call for soldiers, and served through the war as Cap- 
     
     tain in the Newport Artillery, and took an active part in the engagement oflf 
     
     Sachuest Beach with the British man—of—war, Nimrod. It was he who carried many 
     
     of the field—pieces from the town to assist in this brief battle. He was one of the 
     
     few pensioners of the war of 1812. Later he turned his attention to farming, 
     
     which occupation he followed for thirty years. When about fifty years old, he 
     
     accepted the oflice of Overseer of the Poor of the town of Newport, and faith— 
     
     fully performed its duties until about six months previous to his death. 
     
    
   
   
    
     “ W120 sweep: a room a: ta Tby laws, 
     
     Make: tlmt and the action fine.” 
     
    
   
   
    
     He also held several other offices under the municipal government. 
     
    

    
     Mr. Hazard was a “ tall, strong, good man,” so says Mr. Thomas R. Hazard, 
     
    

    
     in his Reta/[66270715 of Olden Timer, and so say many of his contemporaries. He 
     
    

    
     never had a week ofillness during his life until within two weeks of his death. 
     
    

    
     He was an industrious, unselfish man, of a kindly, genial nature. He is said to 
     
    

    
     have been a great and rapid talker, and was wont to preface his conversation,
