    HAMMOND, Mary, d. Sam[ue]ll and Unic [dup. d. Samuel and Eunice], [born] Oct. 4, 1733 [dup. Oct. 4, 1734].
    [Note: since 4 Oct 1733 is about 10 days shy of 9 months after previous child, 4 Oct 1734 is presumed the more likely date. This conclusion is shown in Source:Hammond, Frederick. History and Genealogies of the Hammond Families in America, p. 96, but is far from certain. The (apparent) original is here, Eunice near bottom of left page, Mary near bottom of right page. Both dates are recorded chronologically in the location that suits the recorded dates. But this old record has fairly neat and consistent writing and has the appearance of itself being a copy? Given the marriage date in 1730, it may be that Eunice was born in 1731/32, making 1733 very reasonable for Mary.]

  2. ↑ Source:Hammond, Frederick. History and Genealogies of the Hammond Families in America, p. 96, has no further information about Mary, but it is presumed that she is the Mary Hammond that married Moses Bigelow and named children Samuel and Eunice, after her parents. Source:Bond, Henry. Family Memorials. Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, Including Waltham and Weston (1855), p. 38, shows a different Mary Hammond marrying Moses Bigelow, but is incorrect in its choice, because neither her nor any of her children have any mention in the probates of either the father (whose property went to brothers and sisters indicating no surviving children) nor the grandfather of that Mary Hammond. This Mary Hammond is additionally a much more appropriate age to marry in 1756 than Bond's choice.
