I wonder if there is a link here. Hiram Hammond, b abt 1815 married Catherine Cutler, b abt 1810. Catherine's parents were Catherine Allen and ? Cutler. I believe that they were in Upper Jay, Essex County. Catherine died in Troy, Rensselaer County, NY. They were married about 1830. Their daughter Catherine Lillian Hammond, b October 18, 1840 married Charles Thomas Bowen. They were my great grandparents. Sam Wait
