Notes:

Josiah Hammond lived first on the southeast part of his father's farm, the house standing quite near the waters of Buzzard's Bay. He afterwards sold this farm near the salt water, to his son Josiah, and received land to the north of his father's place, where he built a second house. Although the house has disappeared, the place is still pointed out as the "Siah" place.
