Hazard and Elizabeth Helme[1,4].
He married, on 22 February 1727 in South Kingstown, to Hannah Slocum, the daughter of
Samuel Slocum and Hannah Carr[2,4]. They had only one child:
* Stephen Hazard (1730-1804), who married Elizabeth Carpenter (1741-????) in about 1760,
probably in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.
Thomas Hazard's father, Stephen Hazard, wrote his will on 19 September 1727 and it was proved
on 9 October 1727 in South Kingstown, Rhode Island town council records[5]. The will bequeathed
to Thomas "Hassard:"
"Item. I give to my beloved son Thomas Hassard a Certain parcell of Land lying and being in sd
North Kingstown Containing by Estimation three hundred Acres be it more or less bounded
Northerly partly on Coles harbor so called and partly on Samuel Slocumbs Land and the Mill

"Item. I also give to my son Thomas Hassard all my Remaining part of my Said Land Lying in
said Mumford's Island (so called) being the Easternmost half of said Land on the Said Island
bounded Northerly and Easterly on the Salt Water Southerly on Land belonging to Jahleel
Bunton Esqr westerly on the halfe part before given to my Said Son Samuel Hassard to him
his heirs and assigns for ever."
Hannah (Slocum) Hazard died on 24 January 1737 in North Kingstown.
Thomas married Hannah Updike (1707-????), as his second wife, in May 1738 in North
Kingstown[3,4]. They had two children, registered in South Kingstown:
* Thomas Hazard (1741-????)
* Hannah Hazard (1745-1798).
The book The Hazard Family of Rhode Island, 1635-1894 by Caroline Robinson Hazard,
published in Boston by the author in 1895, included information about this family[4].
"Thomas Hazard was born July 28, 1707. He was admitted freeman in 1730. By his father's
will he was given three hundred acres in North Kingstown, and a part of Mumford Island in
Point Judith Pond. The three hundred acres in North Kingstown were on the south side of the
road that leads from Bissell's Mills (and is a part of that which is now known as the Hiscox
home farm), and so on west to the country or Post Road. In 1729, Samuel Slocum,
father-in-law to Thomas Hazard, sold to him, in company with his brother, Samuel Hazard,
fourteen acres east of his home lot, with fulling mills and houses. In 1741 Thomas sold his
interest to Daniel Fontain. At the sale there was conveyed fourteen acres of land with 'mills,
houses, fulling mill, tenter, brass and iron press plates, iron bars and a blacksmith shop.' The
whole farm was sold in 1772 to Gervase Elam, and was confiscated in 1775 by the State, Elam
being a royalist and accused of giving assistance to the enemy. About 1741 Thomas Hazard
seems to have moved to South Kingstown, for his children by his second wife were born there,
and their births recorded in that town. In 1748, he was paid 3 pounds, 13 shillings from the
estate of Benjamin Waite, who was a tenant on his three hundred acre farm in North Kingstown.
He married, February 22, 1727, Hannah, daughter of Hon^ble Samuel Slocum. He had a child
by this marriage, "Short" Stephen Hazard, and perhaps other children. The North Kingstown
records are so badly injured by fire that it is impossible to verify this. His wife Hannah died
January 24, 1737. He married, second, in May 1738, Hannah Updike."
The death date and place of Thomas Hazard is not known[4]. The last record noted in the Hazard
book is 1748 when he was paid money from an estate. There are no known burial records, and
no known probate records, for Thomas Hazard.
