Calvin Hammond, the ninth child of Nathaniel Hammond and Dorothy Tucker, was born in Bolton, Connecticut in the winter of 1775.

Calvin married Roxanna Field (b. June 1, 1775, d. Mar. 13, 1850), of Coventry, Conn., in 1798. She was the daughter of Daniel Field and Sarah Welles (b. 1727, Glastonbury, Conn.) Callvin and his wife moved up the Connecticut River to Fairlee, Vermont soon after their marriage, for their first child, Lucinda, was born there on October 10, 1801. Some records indicate that Calvin for some years operated a store there. We know that his father and family were involved in mills, stores, and large agricultural land holdings in Bolton, Conn. Of Calvin's children, at least the first four were born in Fairlee. Calvin and Roxanna's children were:

• Lucinda, b. October 10, 1801, m. March 18, 1824, John Burt, d. February 11, 1840, Granger, Ohio, see page
• Lewis, b. August 10, 1803, d. September 28, 1821
• Ward Kingsbury, b. May 9, 1805, m. May 31, 1827, Sophronia Hale, d. Sept. 30, 1878, see page
• Royal, b. April 13, 1809, see page
• Maria, b. February 29, 1812, d. October 10, 1813

Calvin and Theodore Hammond were both in Bath, Ohio, by 1814, and one source records that Maria died in Bath, indicating an arrival in Fall, 1813. Lewis died in 1821 at eighteen while lumbering, when a tree fell on him. Therefore, Calvin and Roxanna had only three adult children. Calvin is thought to have opened a store in Bath and settled there, dying in 1826.
