§ 944. WILLIAM HENRY HAZARD, M.D., 7 (Doctor George, 6; Carder, 5; Governor George, 4; George, 3 ; Robert, 2; Thomas, I), was born in South Kingstown, at Matunuck, in the house owned by his father, Doctor George Hazard. This house is still standing, but with the large ell removed, the great barn being replaced by a modern building, the apothecary’s shop, the ice—house and other out—buildings that once gave the place the semblance ofa small village rather than a private residence, being also taken down.

He often said that he felt his judgments more sure, and his knowledge greater than ever before.

In his early manhood Dr. Hazard was an enthusiastic politician, although not seeking ofl‘ice for himself, and never accepting a nomination with but one excep- tion, namely in I 838. Elisha R. Potter of Kingston, being dead, it was supposed
