(V) Judge Carder Hazard, son of Deputy Governor George (s) and Sarah (Carder) Hazard, was born August 11, 1734, died November 24, 1792. He was admitted a freeman at South Kingston, 1757, and from that time until 1787, when he was chosen chief justice there is scarcely a year during which he was not found filling some position of trust in the colony, as assistant, deputy or judge. Hist death was caused by a fall from a chair which he had mounted to take a book from the top of the bookcase. He was then visiting at the home of his son, Dr. George Hazard, and died there shortly after his fall. The Providence Gazette, December 1, 1791, said: "Last Sunday departed this life, at South Kingston, in the 59th year of his age, Honorable Carder Hazard, Esq., one of the judges of the superior court of this state. In political life he exhibited the honest citizen and upright judge. Subject to laws he reverenced them, and invested with power, he executed it without intrigue and without a view of self interest. In social life the goodness of his heart and the simplicity of his manners were peculiarly agreeable - but death closed his labors, and pity of that death has evidenced the innocence of his life. With that of the public his particular friends have united their own sorrow."
Judge Carder married (first) September 23, 1756, Alice [Hull], ... He married (second) March 5, 1761, Alice [Hazard] ...
