9252	ROBERT HAZARD was born 1635; he died 1710. In 1665 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. In 1667, the Court of 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. 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 L5. 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." At the same date he and three others were empowered to take exact account of all the inhabitants on the island, "English, negroes and Indians, and make a list of the same, and also to take exact account 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 John Borden." Robert Hazard and three others were to see that the guns were set on carriages and fitted for service. In 1676, he was taxed 11s. 7d. in Kingstown. Not long after this date 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 stands the houe owned and occupied by the daughters of William Watson, Esq., in the village of Mooresfield. The old house was very large,---possibly 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, wehre, tradition says, the little slave children were wont to sit; the heat from the big oak-logs being not bad substitute for the hot sands of Africa. 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." the boundaries mention a big rock in the boundary line, about ten feet high. This rock is still to be seen in a substantial stone wall, and gave rise to the familiar name of his grandson Robert, who was called "Roc" Robert. This was also his signature, Robert Roc (his mark) Hazard. In 1710, a short time before his death, Robert sold the remaining part of this farm, with "my manor house where I now live," to his son Robert ( for L300, current money), who, in 1718, gave it by will to his son Robert, after his mother's death; making three Roberts who had successively owned and occupied the old house. The last, upon the death of his mother in 1739, sold to his uncle George the remaining part of the farm. he in his turn gave the whole farm to his son, Col. Thomas Hazard, by will, in 1743. col. Thomas, in 1748, sold it to John rose. And thus, after sixty years, the old homestead passed out of the possession of the Hazard family. 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 ye seventh part of ye 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.	HAZARD, Robert (I71502)

9262	Robert of Colchester undoubtedly led an industrious life and was largely engaged in the acquisition of wealth, though it would probably do him an injustice to say that he did not divide his time impartially between treasures of the heavenly and earthly sort, for his interest manifested in the affairs of the Colchester Society indicates that he did not overlook the spiritual concerns of the good people with whom his fortunes were cast. His daily duties and exemplary life, as commemorated by local and family records, mark him as an interesting character. He and Alice reared a large family, 7 boys and 4 girls, and all them, so far as the history of their careers has been preserved, seem to have achieved success in their varied lives, and their share of honors in public stations. Robert died supposed on the old farm near Colchester.	RANSOM, Robert (I45931)

9281	Robert was said to have married as his first wife Mary Ball, given as born 1852 and buried in Killany 14 September 1627, daughter of Zachery and Margaret Ball of Stephenstown. Robert (as claimed) inherited the blacksmith shop of his father in Killany, Barony of Ardee, County Louth, Ireland, in the will of his mother made at Killany 15 May 1607: "The Inwarie of the goods of the said Jane Paddock, widow of John Paddock, deceased, late of Killary...to my son Robert Paddock the balcksmith shop, one cow, five yardes of broad cloathes and to him my movable personalty and to his wife, Mary Paddock, born Ball my blake cloak" The name of the ship and the year of the emigration of Robert Paddock remain unknown. He may well have been in Plymouth by 132, there having been two of his children entered in the Plymouth Colony records born before 1636... After his death in 1650 "some of the Children of Robert Paddocke Deceased" were entered in the Plymouth colony vital records (MD 17:185): "The Register of the age of some of the Children of Robert Paddocke Deceased Imprimis William Palmer the son in law of the said Robert Paddocke; was born the 27th of June 1634 Zacariah Paddocke the son of Robert Paddocke was borne the 20th of March 1636 Mary the Daughter of Robert Paddocke was borne the tenth of March 1638 Allis the Daughter of Robert Paddocke was borne the 7th of March 1640 John the son of Robert Paddocke was borne the first of April 1643 There are two other that are before registered in this booke" (MD 17:185) Thus the births of Zachariah, Mary, Alice and John were recorded in the Plymouth Colony records, and indirectly Elizabeth, not named but implied by reference to her husband William Palmer "the son in law of said Robert Paddocke" (MD 17:185). Robert, Jr. and Elizabeth were likely the "two other that are before registered in this booke" but the accidental omission of Susanna from this list is not accounted for. (The original record of Plymouth births does not extend earlier than 1648, as it now stands. The first few pages are badly worn and there are pages missing.) Some accounts included a potential son George, probably due to an error in an early article on the Paddock family (NEHGR 12:220) wherein this supposed son was said to have marriedSarah Ricard in 1657. The original record reads: "Georg Pdcock & Sarah Ricard marred the XVIth may 1640 Plymouth" (MD: 13:85)	PADDOCK, Robert (I42374)

Miss King used the story of a job as a maid in the Nathan Shlimovitz home as a ruse to leave home without arousing suspicion. Not for several days did her mother inquire about Miss King at the Shlimovitz residence. It was learned that the daughter had not called there in search of work. The missing girl is the daughter of Mrs. Thurston by her first marriage to Edward King. She is described as being five feet four inches tall, with straight black hair and a sallow skin. She is of slight build and has a peculiar stilted walk. Neither Miss King nor Mr. Vian have been located since their strange dissappearance last month.

Devon. He was born in 1472 (aged thirty and more at his father's Inq.p.m.). He was summoned to Parliament from 28 Nov 1511 by writs directed 'Roberto Willoughby de Brooke', but sat in Parliament as Lord Broke, presumably so as to void confusion with his cousin, Lord Willoughby.

9293	Robert, Jr., lived at one time at Dartmouth, Massachusetts (NEHGR 12:220).

"About 1632" (FPdkHA) is reasonable. There appear to be no known records of his death or of a possible marriage. Only his name has been perpetuated through private family records.

9296	Rockton Herald, Thursday, October 18, 1900 LIFE'S LABORS ENDED Demise Of Albert Hulett Occurs On Tuesday Morning. The community was startled Tuesday forenoon by the report that Mr. Hulett was dead. While it was well known that he was sick, but very few were aware that his condition was considered at all dangerous. He had been sick with an ailment of the stomach, but a short time and the news of his death was a surprise and a shock to everyone. Albert Hulett was born at Veteran, N.Y., August 14, 1833, where he lived with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John M. Hulett, until 1837 when they moved to Ohio. Shortly afterward they moved to Indiana and in 1842 they came to Illinois, settling a few miles south of Rockton which was then in its infancy. May 1st 1866, he was united in marriage with Rachel Ann Lake who passed away November 25th, 1876. To them were born seven children, five sons, three of whom died while quite young, and two daughters. The living are Mrs. Mattie Black of Latham Park; Mrs. Lorena Ricker of Sioux City, Iowa, John of Belvidere and Marson whose present address is unknown. October 17, 1889 he was married to Mary M. Feakins, who with their one son, Paul M., survives the husband and father. Of Mr. Hulett's life and public service many of our readers are better fitted to speak than we, whose acquaintance with him has been of comparatively short duration. Suffice it to state that for five years he held the important office of supervisor of the town of Owen, and since moving into town a few years ago he has served a term as village Trustee and one as Village President. He has always been a great student and his opinion was often in matters requiring careful thought and study. As one who has long known him has said: "He was a kind husband and father, a thoroughly good man and always showed the best side of his character in his family." The funeral will be held from the house t 10:30 o'clock to-day, interment taking place at the west side cemetery in Rockford where his first wife and children are buried.

9300	Rodolphus removed from the City of Buffalo, Erie County, New York, and first arrived in Elgin, Illinois, on October 19, 1842. He first resided in City of Elgin on lots 11 and 12, Block #1 James T. Gifford's Addition. Occupations: Clerk of the Baptist Church of Elgin 35 years Treasurer Town of Elgin 34 years Town Clerk 28 years Clerk of the Baptist Assn. 31 years Deacon Baptist Church of Elgin 30 years Clerk of the City of Elgin 20 years Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas of City of Elgin & City Court of Elgin 21 years Sec. of the Board of Trustees of Illinois Northern Hospital for the Insane 8 1/2 years Upon settling in Elgin in 1842, Rodolphus was the first one to locate a daguerreotype gallery. His place of business was located just west of where the railroad tracks now cross Chicago St. People used to say that no one did a more careful job of bookkeeping than Rodolphous. One calamity that befell him was that his office caught fire at one time and among the things that were burned were all the records he had so carefully kept of the meetings of the Baptist Church. He was always a friend of the downtrodden. At one time, he conducted a station on the "underground railroad". Many a colored person owed liberty to him. It was said that he held an open hand and an open heart to all men. Upon the death of his wife, Rodolphus went to live with his youngest daughter, Isadore. He died quietly in his daughter's home. Rodolphous often made the following statement to his friends and family: "I am truly proud of my family tree, because of the brave and upright people who are on it. How much superior is the lineage which contains such men as Roger Williams and the martyrs who have died for freedom than an ancestry containing Kings who did nothing to make a better world." Named in a executor's bond in the last will and testament of Manly Padelford, dated October 5, 1848 Named administrator of estate of Thankful Padelford. Elgin Daily News (Kane County, Ill.) April 2, 1875, p. 4 Reads: "47 years ago, today, Mr. and Mrs. R.W. Padelford were married at Buffalo, New York. They have resided in Elgin for 41 years." Elgin Evening Advocate (Kane County, Ill.) April 3, 1883, p. 4 Reads: After Many Days "Yesterday was the 53rd anniversary of the wedding of R.W. Padelford, Esq., and Mary Wilber, who were married in Buffalo, New York. Saturday it occurred to a few nieces that the occasion would be a proper one on which to visit "Uncle Rudolphus" and "Aunt Mary", and so the relatives who were convenient of access were warned to be on hand Monday evening, as six o'clock for a picnic. At that hour about 35 relatives marched in, little and big, armed with baskets and packages, and took possession of the house. The number at seven o'clock had increased to over sixty, including sixteen children, holding the relation of grand-children,great-grandchildren, grand nephews and nieces under twelve years of age. A table was soon loaded by the nieces and all were abundantly satisfied, and then music, recitations by the little ones, and general sociability followed fro a couple of hours. The nieces present were Mesdames C.D. Church, E.H. Hill, C.V. McClure, J. O. Wedell, and Misses Julia Padelford, MInnie Wilber and Emma Davidson. The occasion was thoroughly enjoyed by all present, and at a seasonable hour the guests departed, leaving loving words wit the venerable couple whose house for so many years has been a rallying point for legions who from childhood have regarded "Aunt Mary" as a mutual and loving friend." Elgin Daily Wuner (Kane Co., Ill.) March 31, 1888 p. 4 Reads: A Long Time "Monday, April 2d, will be the 60th anniversary of the wedding of R.W. Padelford an Mary Wilber. It is a long time to look back over, but to them full of the pleasant memories of a life wel lived, there is not a shadow of regret of the union. Mr. Padelford at 82 years of age is as active as most men of 60, and gives daily attention to business and receives the confidence of the community. Mrs. Padelford, though partially helpless, still commands the love and respect of a large circle. None of our citizens but will wish them continued peace and happiness." Elgin Daily News (Kane Co., Ill.) December 6, 1894 p. 3 R.W. Padelford Another Pioneer of Elgin Has Gone Came to This City 52 yearsaAgo- useful life. "Rudolphus Williams Padelford died Wednesday evening at 6:30 o'clock and with his departure has passed one of the most familiar personages of Elgin's history. Everybody knew him, as he was for many years prominent in various ways. He was born in Savoy, Mass., July 21, 1806, making him over 88 years of age. He came to Elgin in 1842, and this had since been his home. First he engaged here in merchandising, afterwards was in the daguerreotype business. For many years he was an insurance agent. He was city clerk of Elgin from the organization of the city until 1875, when he was succeeded by the present incumbent. He was also the town clerk for years, and when the city court ws established was chosen clerk. That position he filled until a few years ago, when J.R. Tuttle succeeded him. He was secretary of the asylum board, township treasurer, and for many years was clerk of the state Baptist association. Always prominent in the Baptist church, his counsels since infirmaties overcame him have been much missed. A few years ago his health so failed that retirement from active duties was imperative. Since then, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E.C. Kincaid, he had been peacefully awiting the end. His wife died a few years ago. His other children are Jane (Mrs. E.S. Joslyn), Jeannette, and George W. Mr. Padelford was of English descent. Previous to coming to Elgin he kept a hotel in Buffalo, N.Y. and also was a merchant there. At this writing arrangements have not been completed for the funeral." Elgin Evening Dial December 7, 1894 p. 5 "R.W. Padelford died Wednesday evening, aged 88 years. He came to Elgin over 50 years ago, and has been a prominent citizen ever since, until two years ago, when his failing health compelled him to retire. He leave 3 daughters, Mrs. E.C. Kincaid, with whom he resided, Mrs. E.C. Joslyn, Jeannette, and one son, George W. The funeral will be held Saturday from the home of E.C. Kincaid" Elgin Every Saturday (Kane Co., Ill.) December 8, 1894 p. 8 "The death of Deacon Padelford removes from Elgin one of its old landmarks, a man as widely known and respected and as closely identified with the history of this city as any of the pioneers who witnessed the city's growth from the early forties until the present time. On Wednesday evening Rudolphus Williams Padelford breathed his last and an active and honorable career came to an end. He was born July 21, 1806 at Savoy, Mass. He came to Elgin in 1842, engaged in mercantile business, then conducted a daguerreotype gallery and later turned his attention to the insurance business. He was Elgin's first city clerk, which office he held until 1875. He was also town clerk, clerk of the city court, secretary of the insane hospital board, and township treasurer, all offices of trust, showing the esteem in which he was held. Deacon Padelford was very prominent in Baptist circles and held the office of clerk of the State Baptist association. Four children survie, Mrs. E.S. Joslyn, Mrs. E.C. Kincaid, Miss Jeannett and George W. Temperate and frugal in all his habits, Mr. Padelford accumulated a comfortable property which has been entirely dissipated in late years, a fact which has added especial pathos to his declining days." The Quincy Daily Whig: 1869 Mar 29 Elgin, Ill March 17 - The family of R.W. Padelford, consisting of six persons, was nearly suffocated by gas from a coal stove last night. A daughter on awaking past midnight and feeling ill arose, but immediately fell to the floor. The noise awoke another of the family, who was unable to rise and well nigh suffocated. Mrs. Padelford on awaking attempted to get out of bed, but was too near suffocated to do so; she suceeded in arousing Mr. Padelford, however, who finally succeeded by the utmost exertion in reaching the window and raising it. A physician was immediately called who administered restoratives. All are improving at present.	PADELFORD, Rodolphus William (I42918)
