WILLIAM HAMMOND OF LONDON, ENGLAND.

f. William Hammond1 was born in London, County Kent, Eng., and there married Elizabeth Penn, [NOT] sister of the Admiral, Sir William Penn, and aunt to William Penn, the Quaker. [NB: DISPROVED]. William Hammond died and was buried in London, and was probably descended from the Hammonds of St. Albans Court, County Kent, Eng. His children were:

His children were:
*1. Benjamin. b. in 1621. d. in 1703.
*2. Elizabeth, b. d.
*3. Martha, b. d.
*4. Rachel, b. d.

These children were all born in London, County Kent, Eng.

Elizabeth Hammond, widow of William, with her son Benjamin and three daus., all young, left a good estate in London, and came over to New England in the troublesome times of 1634, from a desire to have the liberty to serve God according to the dictates of their consciences. They arrived in Boston, Sep. 18, 1$34, in the ship Griffin, and had with them the Rev. John Lothrop,* their minister. Mrs. Hammond lived in Boston and in Watertown, Mass., until the year 1638, when she joined Rev. John Lothrop's church in Scituate, Apr. 16, 1638, being the 33d member of said church.

Mrs. Elizabeth [Penn] Hammond probably returned to
Boston near the close of the year 1639, as she died and was
buried there A.D. 1640.

“Of the three daughters of William Hammond and Elizabeth Penn,—Elizabeth, Martha and Rachel,—nothing further can be learned.”
