By the way, did I mention before that Stoddard, Jr., never had a dghtr named Nancy, as your database claims? He had two girls, Ella and Carrie, who died very young, as well as Martha and Mary Ann (giving birth to whom your several-greats-aunt Mary Ann Parks died), but no Nancy. In fact, I don't know of a Nancy in our whole Hammond family line, as far as I have uncovered it.
Since neither Martha nor Mary married, Stoddard Jr. had no direct descendants.
The infomation you gave me about Stoddard (& Rens. Jr., as it turned out) procuring hides & tanning agents (incl. hemlock, hence Rens' eventual involvement in the lumber business, which also became the business of his son, Virgil, my grandfather) was very helpful.
I am enjoying my research into Binghamton & environs. Hard to believe I have NO relatives there (that I know of) anymore. Visits to Binghamton were SO important in my childhood.

9 Dec. 2005,
Hello & Happy Holidays, Fellow Hammond Researchers,
After working on my family history for nearly two years, I've had two exciting new discoveries at almost the last minute (as I hope to present a draft to my dghtr's family on 12-26, when we go up to Seattle for the post-holiday). As I may have told you, I was feeling a bit blue that I have NO Hammond cousins to read the "Hammond section" of the history--literally no one who wd care. But in going through a small box of old clippings, etc., I found a death notice for Cousin Mary Hammond (the youngest dghtr of Stoddard, Jr.) who died in 1950. It said that she was survived by two nieces, Mrs. Raymond Gunnison of Pawling, N.Y. and Mrs. Pauline Mason White of NYC, and a nephew, Robert H. [for Hammond, I'll bet] Mason of Brookline, Mass.
I guess it had never registered on me before that these MUST be the children of Mary's sister Carrie whom I had erroneously told you had died. I recently found her in the 1880 census, age 18, which caused me to wonder! Now I realized she had married a Mr. Mason. Sure enuf, I found him (Frank) and their 4 children-- Pauline, Olive, Robert & Benjamin Mason-- in the 1900 census for Worcester, Mass. (which happens, coincidentally, to be my husband's father's home town--Harold, Sr., was born in Worcester in 1898). I have NO idea how the dghtr of the mayor of Binghamton happened to marry a man from Worcester & spend the rest of her life there; maybe she didn't get along w/ her stepmother Caroline (King) Hammond (Stoddard's 3rd wife-- the second being Hannah Somebody, NOT the same as Mary Ann Parks--his first wife & a distant aunt of Harold van Aken--who died.giving birth to Mary Ann II in 1868). Stoddard married "Carrie" King (same first name as his dghtr, confusing) in 1899--they show up in the 1900 census, married one year. But I think she had been part of his life for a while, because when my grandfather & his sister Mae showed up in Bing. in 1896, after the death of their mother, they were put to board w/ a "Mr. King," Carrie's bro.
Caroline also had a sister named Lucy King, who married a Mr. Eastman & had a son Joseph, who (my mother said) was a member of FDR's first administration. Hope to find out more about HIM.
Anyway, Carrie (the dghtr) was married in 1881, moved to Worcester, had 4 children, & died before 1910, by which date her widower had moved to Brookline, m. a woman named Bertha, & gotten into the publishin g business, in which both his sons were also involved. I found Robert in Newton with his family (wife Marjorie, sons William R. & Richard A.), & Benj. still a bachelor & living at home in Brookline, as was his sister Olive, then 22. I suspect one of Olive's bros. brought Raymond M. Gunnison home to dinner. (I eventually found Pauline m. to Frederick H. White and living in Brighton, part of Boston, in 1920, but not subsequently anywhere; they were apparently childless & later divorced.)
By 1930, Olive is m. to & living w/ Mr. Gunnison in Scarsdale, Westchester Cty., in apparent wealth; Mr. G. is vice-pres. of a publishing co., doesn't say which one. They had 3 children: Pauline, Alice, and Herbert, who was 10 in 1930. Here's where I really got lucky! I looked up "Herbert Gunnison" in the whit e pages & found two addresses--turns out, both are for the same person! The one in Saugerties was for the home he left for a nursing home in Rhinebeck, where he is now.
I sent Herbert a note at both places explaining that I tho't he was my 4th cousin, that our common ancestors were Robert & Betsy (Randall) Hammond. And bless his heart, this nice old man (b. 1919) called me, sounded interested but a bit confused, & told me to contact his dghtr Alice (named for her aunt Alice Gunnison, of course). I Googled her (this gets better & better!) & found she'd been featured in a mag called Today's Woman for renovating the log cabin she grew up in (with her parents "Herb & Dorothy"), in Prospect KY (near Louisville). She is divorced and has re-assumed the name Gunnison, but apparently her husband's name was Stewart. She has 3 dghtr s, two of whom are married, & the youngest living w/ her in the renovated cabin (which looks beautiful).
I have written Alice & sent her the (corrected) family chart I sent Harold van Aken more than a year ago. Please, both of you correct Carrie Lomira's entry in your databases to show her marriage and her death about 1905.
Now--more luck! In going thru an old photo album of my grandfather Hammond's, I found (1) a photo of Stoddard Hammond, (2) another that presumably shows Stoddard w/ a bunch of other people, and (3) a picture of my mother (age 3--1911) with her mother, Ada (Lester) Hammond and 3 other ladies--taken in DeBruce NY!
Oh, & also, the census taker who covered Scars dale in 1930 was both sloppy & overly punctilious, in that amidst many blots & crossings-out she carefully entered Olive Gunnison's mother's birthplace as "DeBruce, N.Y." rather than just "New York." And her father's as "Worcester, Mass." And Olive's as "Worcester, Mass."
We know that Stoddard had a tannery at DeBruce at one time, so in 1911, when my grandparents were living at Willowemoc (they moved to Ga. the next year), they must have gone to some sort of family reunion there. I think the 3 ladies may well be Stoddard's 3 dghtrs--Carrie, Martha, & Mary--& am hopeful Herbert Gunnison or his dghtr will be able to tell me which is which.
Wait, there's more! While looking thru the same album, I found some pictures labelled, "Dad's Boston cousins"--(4) the man , (5) the child, & (6) the cat w/o names. But the WIFE was labelled "Elissa"--two photos of her (7 & 8). That was the name of Merville Hammond's dghtr! The bad news is--I don't know her married name. But I do know that HER dghtr's name was Vincentia, b. about the same time as my mom (1908), and SHE was living in Houston, TX at the time Merville died (1938) taking care of a baby dghtr (b. 1938, the same yr I was born). These photos in the album were taken on a visit to Boston in winter 1912.
I was so excited, I even put the names "Vincentia" and "Elissa" into Ancestry's search engine (which I can now access thru the kind offices of a fellow researcher), looking for anyone w/ that name in Boston in 1910. Since I knew the birth years (Elissa, 1877) I tho't I might find something--but I didn't. And then I remembered that Elissa's real name was "Mary"--after her mother, Mary Ella (Erwin) Hammond. It could well be that Vincentia also had some other 1st name, and V. was her middle name. But perhaps the married name will turn up, & I can trace some cousins in Houston (or elsewhere).
Oh, I also found (9) a picture of Merville (NOT "Merrill" as it appears in the Hammond Genealogies).
If either of you wd like the photos I mention above, let me know, & I'll zap them out to you. In fact, I will attach Elissa's photo, taken indoors wearing a big hat & not much else--in 1912! She is something! I can imagine what my grandmother had to say about Virgil's desire to take pictures of her. And her name made an impress ion on my very young mother.
I already knew her name & her dghtr's name from a note Cousin Mary sent my Aunt Mae when Merville died (1938).
Oh, I have ONE more discovery--not as exciting, but--. I found a note from a woman named Jennie Gibbing to my grandfather, written 1918 from Flint, Mich. She was enclosing a photo of my great-grandfather, Rensselaer, Jr., in his Civil War uniform (lost, unfortunately). She said how her mother (a Hammond? a Cash?) always said what a good-looking man "Rens" was. She said she was hungry for contact w/ her mother's people. She asked if "Stoddard's son" (that wd be Stoddard, Jr.) was still alive. (I don't think he was--don't have a death date for him--sometime after 1900, obviou sly, & I think after my grandparents' marriage in 1905). And she said she was corresponding w/ "Dr. Schuyler Hammond" in Rutland, VT, who had a son fighting in WWI. I found the good dr. (name mangled into "Winstead"--it was probably Weston Schuyler, but cd hv been Schuyler Weston, & he's listed under both in the census). He had two sons, Weston & Morris. I think Morris was the one who fought in WWI, because he somehow married a girl from Maryland & was living in Ga. in 1920, but by 1930 is in Burlington, Vt., selling cars. They have a dghtr, age 4, Mary Hammond, who again, may still be alive.
Weston Schuyler Hammond was another descendant of Asa & Lois (Durkee) Hammond. Not as close a relation, but I'm glad to find him & his progeny--if any.
Please let me know if any of the above is unclear to you. Please fix your charts! I am so happy to have rescued Carrie from the grave--tho' she did die young (before age 50), but at least she fulfilled her biological imperative.
Harold--Any info you can send me on Stoddard, Jr. wd probably be appreciated by Alice Gunnison & her dghtrs. I am eager to hear from her! Her old dad is a dear. Oh, and he has another dghtr whose name & status I hope to obtain.
And Robert--You are very good at running down marriage contracts (e.g., Nellie Hammond's marriage to Mr. Hand), so if you can somehow find out who Mary Elissa Hammond married (probably about 1902) I'd be grateful.
Best regards,
Patricia R. Sweeney
