Abijah Hammond and Mary Saltmarsh.   Abijah Sr. was a soldier in the French Indian War and the Revolutionary war.  Abijah Jr. was born i 1757 and died in 1832.  He too fought in the Revolutionary War.  He was married three times.  1) Hannah Fairservice b 1757 m 1778 in Boston.  2) Catherine Ogden b 1771 m 1791 in Newark NJ. making him a brother-in-law of David Ogden 3) Mary Aspinwall b 1757 Boston M 1816 at Trinity Church in NY.   He had a number of children.

It is of interest that when Alexander Hamilton lost his life in a dual with Aaron Burr in 1804, Abijah Hammond along with Richard Harison, Josiah Ogden and General Matthew Clarkson along with others were pall bearers. (from an old New York Times Article)

Abijah Hammond was said to be one of the founders of the Tontine Coffee House located at 82 Wall Street (corner of Wall and Water Streets) where the New York Stock Exchange was located.  http://maap.columbia.edu/place/16

From Wikipedia:

A 1797 oil on linen painting by Francis Guy (1760–1820). The building sporting the American flag on its roof is the Tontine Coffee House. Across the road is the Merchant's Coffee House, where the brokers of the Buttonwood Agreement and others did trade before the construction of the Tontine. On the right is Wall Street, leading down to the East River.

" New York merchants founded the Tontine Association in 1790 as a center for the merchant community. Until that time, there was no ideal place where merchants could congregate, and they would have to travel a significant distance for their daily coffee. Between 1792 and 1794, the Tontine Coffee-House was constructed on the northwest corner of Water Street and Wall Street. Initially the building operated as a coffeehouse, but the merchants quickly realized the building could generate greater profits for the Tontine if leased out to more profitable businesses. By 1834 the Court of the Chancery legally made this a reality, and the Tontine Coffee-House would operate as a tavern, a hotel, and a newspaper publishing headquarters over the course of its existence. Nine years later, the coffeehouse changed its name to the Tontine Building. The Merchants' Exchange also operated in the building until 1825, when construction of the exchange on Wall Street was completed. The original building survived the Great Fire of 1835, but was demolished 20 years later to make way for a larger Tontine Building.

The Association dissolved after November 18, 1870 with the death of the 8th nominee. The remaining seven nominees were Maria Bayard, William Bayard, Robert Benson Jr., David Murray Hoffman, Gouverneur Kemble, Horatio Gates Stevens, and Mary Ray (widow of New York Governor John A. King). Frederic De Peyster, Chairman of the association and past president of the New-York Historical Society, stood to receive a significant portion of the tontine's assets as owner of one share depending on the life of David Murray Hoffman.
