    Notes 
    • John Hammond,[second son of Benjamin. William] was born at Sandwich, Mass., came to Rochester, Mass., with his brother Samuel about 1680. He settled in the Southwesterly part of the present town of Mattapoisett, where about the year 1700 he built the "Old Hammond House," known in 1894 as the "Howes House." It stood on the West bank of the Mattapoisett River until 1910 when it was torn/taken down.

      John Hammond was a noted man of his time; was selectman and assessor three years; member of the state legislature two years; a lieutenant of the militia, and justice of the peace. He was also one of the founders and a prominent member of the first Congregational Church of Rochester. He married in 1691 Mary Arnold, eldest daughter of the Rev. Samuel Arnold, first minister of the gospel that was settled in Rochester. They had seven sons and four daughters.
