Hello everyone, this information came to me in a pamplet I sent away for to the Providence Public Library. The librarian sent me the pamplet titled, Minority Minilary Service - Rhode Island 1775 - 1783. In writing to the library, I was looking for a listing of who actually served, not the 1777 Military Census of Rhode Island. My interest was in gaining pension numbers to send away for files. The National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution appear to be the ones who may have put this together in 1988, there may be copies at the Rhode Island Historical Society but I'm not sure. Anyway, since I'm unsure of reproducing the list here, would anyone want a lookup of this pamphlet? Here are the abbreivations used in the listing, 1777 Chamberlain, Mildred Mosher, trans.

Not meaning to take away from the value of the book which sounds from the table of contents very informative, the Improved Order of Red Men is a men's fraternal organization chartered by Congress during the 19th century which traces its origin to about 1765 when it was founded patterning itself after the Iroquois Confederacy. It is composed mainly of white men. It has a website which I found at www.redmen.org. Robert Ward Randy Weeks writes: > The name of the book is " MASSASOIT" written by Alvin G.

Bill, thanks so much for taking the time to research Christopher Hazard.

Naomi, Checking Arnold's Vital Records of Rhode Island at newenglandancestors.org I did not find a death record. I did not find anything with a quick look in the Beaman books. So obtaining a death cert is not likely. I checked the RI Cemeteries database and did not find him listed. I did find these marriage entries in Arnold: 1796 HAZARD HAZARD Mumford, of Newport, and Eliza Robinson, daughter of Christopher, at South Kingstown.

Hello List, My grandparents Catherine Fletcher born August 1875 in Nova Scotia and George Warren born September 1858 in England were married about 1902 in Providence, RI, I believe. In the New England Historic Genealogical Society, Index of the Births, Marriages and Deaths Recorded in Providence, RI there are two entries found in Vol. 16 Marriages 1901-1910. Is there anyone on the List who could provide me with further information, please. It would be wonderful to find the missing piece to my puzzle! Greatly appreciate your help. Regards, Vivian Warren

Thanks for posting this, Randy. Can you give us the name of the book? Maybe it could be found in a library or archive somewhere.

Thank you Wm Wright and Bonnie for responding to my query about Christopher Hazard. Per Nailer Tom Hazard's diary, a Christopher Hazard died April 21, 1815. I don't know whether a lister can track death cert info down. The diary also said Christopher Hazard's wife was buried July 9, 1824. Her name and their burial places?? I am interested in Christopher Hazard because his daughter Meriam Hazard born about 1770+/- married Abiathar Rodman. I am descended from their son William Rodman born about 1806 in Kingston/North Kingston. Meriam Hazard's death was published in (Connecticut) Courant on May 5, 1834 stating that "In Marlborough (Conn) M. Rodman wife of Mr. Abiathar Rodman died April 28, 1834." Her Death was not recorded in town records and burial places for Meriam and Abiathar Rodman are unknown as well as a death date for Abiathar Rodman. Abiathar must have died before the 1840 census as he is not found after the 1830 census where he was listed living in Marlborough, CT with a family of 5. Abiathar Rodman was native american according to 1774 census. Meriam's race?

>I am looking for information on a Christopher Hazard of South Kingston area. I don't have a birthdate but he died about 1818. His wife (name?) died in 1824 per Nailer Tom Hazard's book. Naomi, Christopher is a tough one to find. He does not appear in the index of Caroline Robinson's "The Hazard Family of Rhode Island." On p 79 she says that Robert-6 may have had a son named Christopher who had a son Ezekiel and a daughter Desire. But Robert was born in 1753 and had one or two daughters b in 1784. The 1782 census lists a Christopher Hasard in South Kingstown. He and the oldest female were between 22 and 49. Three males under 15 and two females under 15 are listed in the household. The 1790 census listing is 1/4/1-/-/. The 1800 lists him and his wife as over 45. In 1810 Christo. Hazard is still over 45, but the oldest female is 26-45. I couldn't find him in 1820, but there is a George C. Hazard over 45 who doesn't appear to fit in Robinson. I am really stretching on this one. In RIGR:8:265. From SK Probate 2:55. 14 Nov 1808, Grant unto George C.Hazard chattles of his deceasedwife Sarah Hazard who bef this marriage was Sarah Gardiner widow of Daniel Gardiner late of Newport merchant dec. The only Hazard female head of household listed in SK in 1820 was Hannah R. Hazard. No age bracket listed. Was Christopher a grantor on any land records in SK? Did his wife join in signing those deeds? From whom did he acquire the land? Who were his immeidate neighbors? The answers to these questions may help to identify him. Bill Wright
