"(IV) David, second son and fifth child of Thomas (2) and Sarah (Pickard) Hammond, was baptized November 23, 1690, in Watertown, Massachusetts, and dies September 22, 1765, in Rowley, same colony. He was a farmer living near the coundary line between Ipswich and Rowley, and there was continual controversy between these two towns as to which included his farm. This was not finally settled until some years after his death. According to the records, on May 5, 1784, this farm then occupied by his eldest son was "sette off" to Rowley. On this account some of the children of his family were recorded in both towns while some appear only in the church records of Rowley, of which he was a member. It is possible that he had other children, of whom no record is now to be found. He was married (first) July 11, 1719, to Mary Platts, who was born on June 29, 1684, in Rowley, daughter of Samuel and Phillipa (Phelps) Platts of that town. She died in March, 1747, and he married (second) August 6, 1748, Elizabeth Platts, who was born Fenruary 8, 1699, daughter of Moses and Hannah (Platts) Platts. All his children were born of the first wife, namely: David, Jonathan, Mary, Sarah, Phineas and Johanna.".
