    1. [RIGENWEB] Christopher Hazard (Hassard)

    3. >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
