They had eight children, the eldest of whom was Thomas, and the third son, Stephen (from whom descends Miss Sarah Rodman Baldwin) . ...
Robert Hazard, (1635-1710), was admitted Freeman of Portsmouth, R. I., in 1665. He sold all his interest in Canonicut (now called Jamestown) and Dutch

He bought, 1671, five hundred acres of land in Kingston, of the Pettaquamscutt purchasers. He bought his house in Moorsfield, South Kingston. In 1695 he gave to his son George the larger part of the Pettaquamscutt purchase, and in 1710' sold the remaining part of the farm, with the manor-house, to his son Robert, for £300, current money, who gave it by will to his son Robert, three Roberts thus owning and occupying the place in succession. Previous to the deed of gift to George, he had given his son Stephen rights and interest in land belonging to Point Judith Neck, "being ye seventh part of ye same, excepting one hundred acres, so-called Boston Neck." His son, Jeremiah, also received two hundred acres in Tiverton. These deeds to his sons show the ownership of more than a thousand acres of land. He served the government on various committees and was Commissioner to the Court of Commissioners, 1662-1670, and Deputy five years, 1664, 1665, 1667, 1670, 1671.
