They had only one child, Susan Louisa, the wife of Mr. Thomas Rawcliffe, of Tarrytown.

Staats Hammond, whose parentage does not appear, was a Sergt. in Capt. Requa's Company ; was shot through the left leg, near Sing Sing, June 17, 1779 ; a .State Pensioner by the act of April 22, 17S6. From the Commissioners of Forfeiture he took title to no acres, north by Jacob Van Wart and Moses Miller, and west by Abraham Storms, as formerly possessed by Win. Vail. Also 38 1-2 acres, east and south by Isaac Hammond, and north by Win. Underhill.

By the following account it will be seen that Major Andre passed that way on the fateful morning of Sept. 23d, 17S0 :

"From Pine's Bridge, the adjutant general of the British army followed the Crum Pond road, which passed the house of Mr. Staats Hammond. The son of this gentleman, David Hammond, of North Castle was living in (1847), an advanced age. He related, that on the day Andre was taken, he was standing at the door of his father's residence, upon the Crum Pond road, when he observed a person approaching on horseback, leisurely walking his horse. As he rode up, he observed the stranger to be closely enveloped in a light blue swan's down cloak, with high military boots, and a low-crowned and broad brimmed hat on his head. The animal he bestrode was a beautiful bay, bitted with a handsome double snaffle bridle ; the mane, particularly about the head, being thickly matted with burs. The stranger immediately asked for a drink of water. It deserves to be noticed, in connection with this incident, that Mr. Hammond's father --who was lying at the time badly wounded on the floor-- caught a glimpse of the stranger, whom he pronounced to be a spy, from the fact of h:s being enveloped in the manner described.
