Notes |
- He is the progenitor of the line of Anne Arundel Hammonds discussed in Newman 1.190-287. There are other Hammonds; one, John Hammond, is known as a pamphleteer, especially of Leah and Rachel, or the Two Fruitful Sisters Virginia and Maryland (1656), which his entry in the American National Biography calls "an early statement of love for America." This person is not on Newman's tree.
Note that Newman (1.191) argues that his wife was Mary, daughter of Matthew Howard Sr. (also see Newman 2.229). F.Z. Saunders, however, argues that this is not true (see S122).
He did apparently have two wives however, his second being Mary, the widow of Thomas Roper; this is because his he had sons who were married as early as 1690, within 13 years after his marriage to the Widow Mary Roper.
His death record in the St. Anne's register reads "Hon. John Hammond, Esq. Major Gen. of Western Shore of Md., and one of her Majesty's Honorable Councell and Judge of High Court of Admiralty, bur. 29 Nov. 1707" (S125, 67).
