Description:Excerpt from The Hazard Family of Rhode Island, 1635-1894: Being a Genealogy and History of the Descendants of Thomas Hazard, With Sketches of the Worthies of This Family, and Anecdotes Illustrative of Their Traits and Also of the Times in Which They Lived The compiler of this volume, who is a descendant of the Hazard family, has not endeavored to make a scientific, formal or final historical work, but simply a collection, more or less complete, of genealogical data in relation to the Hazard family. Such sketches of individuals have been inserted as the writer has been able herself to compile, or readily to obtain from sources of information open to everyone. The facsimiles and portraits have been, as is often the case in books of this class, secured where it was possible to secure them, without always bearing a strict relation to the importance of the individual represented. In many cases where it would have been desirable, owing to the eminence of the person in question, to have given them greater distinction by this means or by a very full biographical sketch, it has not always been possible to do so; while, in other cases, less known members of the family have obtained a fuller treatment, owing to sources of information more readily available. Of the defects of the volume the author herself is more fully aware than the reader can be; but she is also more cognizant of the many difficulties which have prevented the perfection which she wished to obtain. Valuable assistance has been given to the compiler of the records by Mr. Peleg F. Pierce of Wickford, Dr. Henry E. Turner of Newport, the late Mr. Stanton Hazard of Westerly, Mr. H. J. Cundall of Prince Edward Island, and Mr. James N. Arnold. Thanks are especially due to Mr. Thomas Crombe, Town Clerk of North Kingstown, and Mr. Howard Perry, who holds the same office in South Kingstown, for unvarying kindness and great assistance in searching the manuscript records of which they are the custodians. It should here be said, in passing, that the references to the Rhode Island Colonial Records allude to the printed volumes, not to the manuscripts themselves.
