From Fourth Doughty Reunion:
"In 1854 when Samuel Doughty, son of Samuel and Elizabeth Nelson Doughty, came to Lake City there were few roads and bridges to speed the journey. He came up the Mississippi River in a packet boat and was urged by a man named Anthony to locate at St Anthonys Falls, now Minneapolis, Minnesota, but because of the abundance of game of game and the beauty of the locality he located on Lake Pepin at what is now Lake City. In 1855 he brought his family from Bloomington, Illinois where they had lived since 1852. They built the first frame house of Norway

Autobiography of James S. Lawson http://www.lib.noaa.gov/edocs/jlawson.html
The Autobiography of James Lawson recounts the experiences of James S. Lawson, an Assistant in the Coast Survey, who proceeded to the West Coast with the famous George Davidson in 1850. This work is unique, describing Lawson's experiences on the Pacific coast of the United States when it was still a rough and wild pioneer coast. It also is an invaluable record of his life and work in the United States Coast Survey for a thirty-year period beginning in 1848. This version of Lawson's autobiography, presented by the NOAA Central Library, has received minor editing to make it more understandable for the modern reader but remains true to the original. As the Autobiography of James Lawson was written as one continuous document, headings and sub-headings have been added in order to separate the work into manageable segments for presentation on the Internet.
1869. In the early part of this season I returned to Port Discovery, but soon received orders to have some repairs made to the Fauntleroy, which was taken to Seattle for this purpose. The loss of time to field work was not of great consequence on account of the smoke coming unusually early this year (June). Fortunately, however, about the time the vessel was again in commission, rains appeared (Aug. 22), and cleared the atmosphere.
During the time the Fauntleroy was undergoing repair, Hon. Wm. H. Seward came North, en route for Alaska. At Victoria he was met by Hon. Alvan Flanders, Governor of Wash. Terr., Capt. Marshall Blinn, and others of Olympia, by whom Gov. Seward was induced to make a visit to Puget Sound, while the steamer Active (formerly in the Coast Survey service) on which he was going to Alaska, would be detained by coaling at Nanaimo, Vancouver ld. The steamboat Wilson G. Hunt was chartered for this special duty. The trip up and down the Sound was a complete ovation--at every port crowds gathered on the deck to do honor to the venerable Statesman. At Olympia he was the guest of Gov. Flanders, and was entertained at my house where a reception was held, but the space being limited a more public one was given at Olympic Hall.
Gov. Seward was accompanied on his trip to Alaska by his son Fred Seward and wife, Abijah Fitch, Esq. of Auburn, N.Y., Judge Hastings, of San Francisco, and Dr. Franklin, R.N.
The federal officials resident at Olympia were invited to meet Gov. S. at luncheon. While this was going on Mrs. Seward invited my wife to accompany them to Alaska. Mrs. S. was the only lady in the party, and insisted on Mrs. L. going. It required some persuasion to make her consent, not because she did not want to go, but for the reason she could not get ready, she had about forty minutes to pack up, and get to the steamer! This objection was overcome, a trunk was packed in the "quickest time on record" for such a journey, and in due time all were on board. My step-son Fred accompanied us at the request of his mother. A large party escorted Gov. Seward and his suite to Nanaimo, where the latter were transferred to the Active, where we were all elegantly entertained at dinner, Gov. Seward presiding. That P.M. we said our Goodbyes, and we returned to the Sound via Victoria.
Gov. S. had a pleasant trip; the steamer called at all places of interest. At Sitka, the party was joined by Gen. Jeff. C. David, U.S.A., then in command of the forces stationed there, and other officers. Among other places visited was the Chilkaht River, where Prof. George Davidson, Assist. U.S. Coast Survey, was engaged observing the total eclipse of August 7th. All enjoyed, and were in raptures with, a sight so rarely witnessed under such favorable circumstances and surroundings. Gov. Seward and his party returned about end of August to Victoria where I met them, being at work at that time in that vicinity.
After the Seward party had left, and while yet the repairs of the Fauntleroy were going on, the U.S.S. Pensacola,flagship of the North Pacific Squadron, Rear-Admiral Thos. Turner, U.S.N., paid a visit to Puget Sound. I made my first call on board at Olympia, and among the officers I met my old friend Capt. Phil. C. Johnson, Chief of Staff. Our meeting was a complete surprise to both, and a most pleasant one. By especial invitation I took up my quarters on the Pensacola, and assisted in piloting her from Steilacoom to Port Townsend. Between Olympia and Steilacoom, Gov. Flanders and myself had made an overland trip with the Admiral, having some partridge shooting on the way, trout-fishing at McAllister's Creek (Nisqually Bottom), and an impromptu picnic there with some ladies from Olympia.
The repairs to the Fauntleroy having been completed, she had gone to Port Townsend, a day or two before, and there awaited my arrival. I was then under instructions to connect a secondary astronomical station at Esquimalt, Vancouver Island, occupied by Assist. Davidson while en route to Alaska in the U.S. Quartermaster's steamer Newbern, with the triangulation of Straits of Fuca; and when the Pensacola started for Esquimalt, Capt. Geo. H. Preble, U.S.N. kindly took the Fauntleroy in tow. Thus it happened that I was near Victoria, as previously stated, when Gov. Seward and his party returned. Assist. Davidson, also returned on the Active at the same time.
After completing the work above referred to, the topography of Port Discovery was resumed, and two sheets were completed. As usual during the winter the vessel was laid up at Olympia, and the usual office work was done during the winter.

Hazard genealogy, #1003:
"He was sometimes called, by way of distinction, "Squire Hazard." His father died when he was but seven years of age, leaving his mother with six small children. Her means for the support of the helpless little family were not large, as a relative had taken advantage of her unprotected condition to defraud her of the patrimony left to her by her grandfather James Perry. She herself taught school for a time, to help feed her little brood, and her sons were taught serviceable trades. Jonathan, her third son, learned the carpenter's trade. About 1820 he commenced manufacturing coarse woolen goods, in company with Isaac Peace Hazard, at a place called Brushy Brook, in the western part of the town. This enterprise was very successful for a few years. Mr. Hazard then moved to Rocky Brook and operated Thomas R. Hazard's mills, in that place; here he was successful. Thomas R. Hazard was enabled to retired from business a few years afterwards, with what was at that time considered a fortune.
"Jonathan Hazard then bought one of the mills on his own account, which he run until about 1837, when he gave up the manufacturing business; and after one year spent in Newport, he bought one-half of a property in Narragansett Pier. At this time he ran a line of sloops to Providence, Newport, and New York. The sloop Washington made three trips a week to Providence and Newport; the Point Judith and Pettasquamscutt sailed one each week to New York. These sloops were built and launched at the "Pier," near when the Casino now stands, and were built by Capt. John Saunders.
"Mr. Hazard was an exceedingly quick-tempered, but also an exceedingly kind-hearted and sympathetic man. While scolding a miserable drunkard for his improvidence and neglect of his family, he would at the same time busy himself in filling a basket with provisions, and to the last denunciatory word he would add, "Come for more when that is gone." He truly understood the meaning of the word, "neighbor." One one occasion, seeing a heavy thunder-storm coming up, and also seeing his neighbor's hay, that was well cured and ready for the barn in danger of injury, and knowing his friend was away from home, Mr. Hazard called some men from his mill, and taking his teams, went to the field and gathered the hay into the barn. When thanked for his kind deed, he said, "There is nothing to thank me for; am I not they neighbor?" His wife was a member of the Society of Friends, and thus his changing fortunes did not prevent his children from being well educated in the Friends' School in Providence." | Jonathan Nichols Hazard

Robert-2 HAZARD (1635->1710); m. Mary BROWNELL
Posted by Perry Streeter on March 06, 1999 at 12:02:50:
In Reply to: Thomas-1 HAZARD (1610-1680) posted by Perry Streeter on March 06, 1999 at 12:00:47:
2. Robert-2 Hazard (Thomas-1) was born in Rhode Island in 1635;
died there after 1710. He married Mary Brownell (Thomas-1), born
1639, died 12 January 1739; daughter of Thomas-1 and Anne (Bourne)
Brownell.
... In 1665 [sic, 1655] he was admitted freeman of
Portsmouth, Rhode Island. From this time until 1698 his
name often appears in the Colonial records as chosen to
fill some important position. In 1658, he sold John
Roome, of Portsmouth, all his interest in Conanicut and
Dutch Island. (Robinson, 3)
On 18 March 1659, Robert and Mary sold eight acres of land to
James Sands. From 1662 to 1670, he served as a Commissioner. On
1 March 1663, Robert bought 25 acres of Abel Potter. Presumably
this Abel Potter was Robert's first cousin, the son of his maternal
uncle, George-1 Potter. The compiler is also a direct descendant
of Abel-2 Potter. (Austin, 320)
In 1667, the Court at Plymouth ordered, in reference
to a controversy between the English and Indians about
bounds in Dartmouth, that in case Robert Hazard, of Rhode
Island, could be procured, he should run the lines, etc.
In 1670, he was juryman. In 1671, he bought five hundred
acres of land in Kingstown, of the Pettaquamscutt
purchasers. (Robinson, 3)
On 24 November 1671, Robert sold two-thirds of a ten-acre plot
in Naragansett to Gideon Freeborn for ?18. He had already sold the
other one-third of the land to George Brownell.
In 1676, he and three others of Portsmouth were a
committee ordered by the Assembly to appoint their own
men as keepers of Indians above twelve years of age. The
Indians were to have "a sufficient place of security."
Any master offending was to pay a fine of ?5. In 1676,
Robert Hazard was on a committee to procure boats for the
colony's defence "for the present, and there were to be
four boats with five or six men in each." [Footnote: RI
Colonial Records, 3:535-536] At the same time he and
three others were empowered to take exact count of all
the inhabitants on the island, "English, negroes and
Indian, and make a list of the same, and also to take
exact account of how all persons are provided with corn,
guns, powder, shot and lead." A barrel of powder was put
in charge of himself and three others, and two great guns
in the yard of the late William Brenton, were to be
impressed into the country's service and carried to
Portsmouth,a nd placed, one "in the Ferry Neck and one
near the house of John Borden." Robert Hazard and three
others were to see that the guns were set on carriages
and fitted for service. In 1676, also, he was appointed
as commissioner to take care of and order the several
watches and wards on the island, and appoint the places.
In 1687, he was taxed 11s. 7d. in Kingstown [Footnote: RI
Colonial Records, 2:537]. (Robinson, 3)
Not long after this date [1687], he built his house
in Kingstown, which was still standing in the early part
of the present century. It was on the site where now
[1894] stands the house owned and occupied by the
daughters of William Watson, Esq-r., in the village of
Mooresfield. The old house was very large,þpossibly the
largest in the town, not only at that time but for many
years after. A well authenticated story is told of Dr.
William Shaw, who, being called in to attend a sick
person in the house, drove into the back yard, and
entered the house by the kitchen door. When he went out,
he asked if the family always walked from the front door
to the rear of the house, or did they have some
conveyance? The ell was longer than the main body of the
house, and in this ell was a capacious chimney. Inside
the chimney were two stone seats, where, tradition says,
the little slave children were wont to sit; the heat from
the big oak-logs being no bad substitute for the hot
sands of Africa. (Robinson, 3-4)
In 1695, Robert Hazard gave to his son George the
larger part of his Pettaquamscutt purchase. The deed
runs: "I Robert Hazard, late of Portsmouth, now of
Kingstown, alias Rochester, for the natural affection
that I have unto my son George,... have given to him all
my whole right and interest in or to the farm I live on
now, by virtue of a deed from the whole Company of
Purchasers, as may appear by a deed given under their
hand. Said farm contains five hundred acres of land,
more or less, bounded as in my original deed from
aforesaid purchasers. Only I, said Robert Hazard, do
reserve one hundred and twenty acres, and my now
dwelling-house." ... (Robinson, 4)
Previous to the deed of gift to his son George,
Robert had, in 1692, given to his son Stephen "all rights
and interests in land belonging to Point Judith Neck,
being y-e seventh part of y-e same, excepting one hundred
acres and Little Neck, so called, next Boston Neck."
In 1695, he also gave his son Jeremiah two hundred
acres of land in Tiverton; and that his eldest son Thomas
had land given to him by his father, is proved by the
fact that in his will he says, "land that came to me by
inheritance from my father, Robert Hazard." By these
deeds it would seem that Robert Hazard owned more than
one thousand acres of land. (Robinson, 4-5)
On 9 December 1710, Thomas deeded "to son Robert for ?300,
land where I know dwell, 100 acres, with housing, orchard, &c."
(Austin, 320)
Robert Hazard married Mary Brownell, daughter of
Thomas and Anne Brownell. She was born in 1639, and died
in 1739, being exactly one hundred years of age. In an
old copy of the Boston Gazette, dated Feb. 12, 1739, is
found the following notice: "Newport, Feb. 9. Mrs. Mary
Hazard, widow of Mr. Robert Hazard, of South Kingstown,
and Grand Mother to the deceased George Hazard, Esq.,
late Deputy Governor of Rhode Island, departed this life
the 28th day of January last, in the Hundredth Year of
her age, who was decently interr'd the Wednesday
following. She had 500 Children, Grand Children, and
Great Grand Children, and left behind her now living two
hundred and five of the aforesaid number. She was
accounted a very useful Gentlewoman both to the Poor and
Rich on many accounts, and particularly amongst Sick
Persons for her Skill & Judgement, which she did Gratis.

THOMAS HAZARD, of Nottinghamshire, England, the progenitor of the HAZARD family in America, was b. 1610; d. 1680. He was in Boston in 1635, and was admitted freeman 25th Mar. 1638. Freeman of Portsmouth, R. I., 1640. 28th Apr. 1639, with eight others, signed the contract for the settlement of Newport, R. I. 12th Mar. 1640, appointed member of the General Court of Elections. Member of the Governor's Council, 10th Dec. 1654. Member for Newton, L. L., of the Provincial Convention of November and December, 1653. m. (firstly) Martha (surname unknown), who d. 1669; m. (secondly) Martha SHERIFF, d. 1691, widow of Thomas SHERIFF.
1. Thomas-1 Hazard was born about 1610 and died in 1680. He married first Martha Potter (George-A). Martha died in 1669; she was probably the daughter of George-A and Martha (_____) Potter of London, England. Thomas married second Martha (_____) Sheriff; she died in 1691; she was the widow of Thomas Sheriff. Hazard. Thomas Hazard came to this country from Wales about 1639, bringing with him his son Robert at that time about four years old. He has been supposed to be Goffe, one of the King's Judges, but this is improbable as it is proved from deeds, &c. that he was here in 1640. (Source?)
It also seems improbable that Thomas Hazard was a native of Wales or departed from there. Despite the forgoing quotation, it seems most likely that Thomas Hazard was a native of England.
... His name is first found in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1635. In 1638, March 25, he was admitted freeman of Boston. Two years later he was admitted freeman of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. In 1639, April 28, he and eight others signed the following contract, preparatory to the settlement of Newport, Rhode Island: "It is agreed by us whose hands are underwritten to propagate a plantation in the midst of the island or elsewhere, and to engage ourselves to bear equal charge, answerable to our strength and estates, in common, and that our determination shall be by major voice of judge and elders, the judge to have a double voice." The founders and first officers of the town of Newport were William Coddington, Judge; Nicholas Easton, John Coggeshall, William Brenton, John Clarke, Jeremy Clarke, Thomas Hazard, and Henry Bull, Elders; William Dyre, Clerk. In 1639, June 5, he was named one of four proportioners of land in Newport, any three of whom might proportion it; "the company laying it forth to have 4d. an acre for every acre laid." September 2, 1639, he was admitted freeman of Newport, and in 1640, March 12, he was appointed a member of the General Court of Elections. In 1665 [sic, 1656], he was for a short time in Newtown, Long Island. (Robinson, 1-2)
At Portsmouth, on 30 January 1658, Thomas Hazard deeded as dower, with his daughter Hannah Hazard, to Stephen Wilcox of Portsmouth, 34 acres adjoining Thomas' farm. On 10 December, Thomas deeded to Thomas Sherriff, a house, 30 acres, orchard, etc in Portsmouth for ?20 and a quarter of a share in Misquamicut. The Sheriffs were not to take possession of the deeded property until Thomas Hazard died. Ironically, Thomas Sheriff died first and his widow, Martha, married Thomas Hazard. (Austin, 320) On 30 November 1669, in a will that was voided by subsequent ones, Thomas named wife Martha, daughters Elizabeth, wife of George Lawton, Hannah, wife of Stephen Wilcox of Misquamicut, and Martha, wife of Ichabod Potter, son Robert Hazard, and grandson Thomas Hazard (Austin, 320). On 16 October 1674, Thomas testified in a dispute regarding the corn mill at Pawtuxet between Stephen Arnold and Samuel Reape. Thomas stated that he was sixty-four years old (Austin, 320). On 29 May 1675, Thomas made a formal statement prior to declaring marriage intentions with Martha (_____) Sheriff:
This is to notify all men whom it may concern,
whereas there is a promise of matrimony betwixt Thomas
Hazard and Martha Sheriff, yet I, the aforesaid Thomas
Hazard, do take the same Martha Sheriff for her own
person, without having anything to do with her estate, or
anything that is hers for matter of goods, etc. (Austin,
320)
This prenuptial agreement of sorts was probably intended to reassure the heirs of Thomas and Martha (_____) Sheriff that Thomas Hazard would not interfere with the inheritance they had envisioned. Apparently, relations between Thomas and his only son, Robert, were strained at one point. Thomas made another formal declaration on 6 August 1677:
That whereas son Robert claims right to my lands by virtue of a writing as he saith by me formerly passed and given him, &c.þthis is denied. I, Thomas Hazard, do by these presents solemnly protest and affirm that I never made any writing, only in a will drawn by John Porter at John Lawton's house about thirty years past, wherein if I had then deceased, being sick and weak, my said son was to have had my lands and my other children my movables; nor made any writing to said son only in a will 1669, Nov. 30, in which I appointed him executor, since which time have seen cause to make null and void, and do absolutely abolish the two wills and have made another will dated 1676, Nov. 6. (Austin, 320) In his will, proved 1680, his wife Martha, whom he calls his "beloved yoke-fellow," is sole executrix, and he gives her "all movable and immovable estate, as housing, goods, cattle, and chattels, etc." To his son Robert he gives 1s. To his daughters, Hannah Wilcox and Martha Potter, wife of Ichabod Potter, 1s. (Source?)
Children, by Martha Potter:
2. i. Robert-2, b. 1635; m. Mary Brownell.
ii. Elizabeth, m. George Lawton.
iii. Hannah, m. Stephen Wilcox, son of Edward and _____ (_____) Wilcox.
iv. Martha, m. (1) her first cousin, Ichabod-2 Potter (Nathaniel-1, George-A), son of Nathaniel-1 and Dorothy (_____) Potter; m. (2) Benjamin Mowry, son of Roger and Mary (_____) Mowry.
