(VIII) Job Watson Hazard, son of Arnold and Hannah (Watson) Hazard, was born March 25, 1816, in Jamestown, and passed away Aug. 4, 1884, in the same place. After attending the schools of his native town he took up agricultural pursuits, which he followed with success during his life. He was also extensively engaged in the milling business in Jamestown. Like his brother. Dr. Thomas Arnold Hazard, he also took an active part in the affairs of his town, and during the excitement of the Dorr, war in Rhode Island, in 1842, he gave his services to his State. Mr. Hazard served for a number of years as town sergeant, and held various positions of trust and honor at the hands of his fellow citizens. Although of rather a quiet and retiring disposition, he possessed those traits of character and manner which won and held for him many warm and stanch friendships, and as a citizen he commanded the respect and esteem of the community in which his useful and exemplary life had been spent. Mr. Hazard was twice married, his first wife being Ann Eliza Weeden, daughter of John and Ann (Chase) Weeden, and she passed away March 7, 1841. His second wife was Mrs. Sarah Ann Gardiner. His first marriage was blessed with one daughter, Lucy Ann Hazard, who was born Nov. 28, 1837.
