Job married Elizabeth Ann Bryant on 25 Dec 1853 in Westminster, Middlesex, Ontario. Elizabeth (daughter of William Bryant* and Lavina Margaret McCauley*) was born in 1830 in Westminster, Middlesex, Ontario. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

-DWT indicates that this Thomas Hammond was the father of Ann Hammond; both are buried at BSC
BSC has Thomas Hammond d. 9 Jul 1838 age 45(Hammond 3). The stone is next to Richard Tunks but there is a gap between them. Elizabeth Tunks was the wife of this Thomas Hammond and it is believed that she was the sister of Richard and is probably buried in this gap, unmarked or missing stone.

Thomas married Elizabeth Tunks*+ on 02 Apr 1819 in London, England. Elizabeth (daughter of Thomas Tunks and Elizabeth Beddoes) was born before 26 Nov 1786 in Bitterley, Shropshire, England; died on 09 Oct 1878 in Brooke, Lambton, Ontario. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

her relationship to Richard Tunks is not obvious. Could she be the sister of Richard, b. 1786 in Shropshire? Since Thomas Hammond and the Tunks came from Shropshire, they could have married and come to Canada.
She does not seem to be at BSC. BSC has Thomas Hammond d. 9 Jul 1838 age 45(Hammond 3). The stone is next to Richard Tunks but there is a gap between them. Elizabeth Tunks was the wife of this Thomas Hammond and it is believed that she was the sister of Richard and is probably buried in this gap, unmarked or missing stone.

-the 1852 census transcription shows Elizabeth Harmon when the original clearly says Elizabeth Hammond, 66, widow, born England, living with son Job and his wife Mary on L40 C1, which was owned by her brother Richard Tunks
1861 census:
1871 census: Elizabeth Hammond, 84, widow; living in Brooke Twp, Lambton with daughter Mary McGregor and husband John;

She probably died sometime in the 1870s. A search for her grave in Lambton county revealed nothing.

He was in a great many battles, and was wounded. He was sent to this country during the war of 1812, and was with the British forces at the battle of Lundy's Lane [this can't be true] . Afterwards he received his discharge, and after remaining at Niagara Falls for about a year, settled on the 2nd Concession, Lot 36, in 1819, and there received his final summons. While at Niagara Falls he had married Miss Susan Wright, who bore him four children - James, William, Emma and Mary.
