Excerpt from My Friend the Partridge: Memories of New England Shooting

Mr. Hammond was born in Webster, Mass., Dec. 21, 1831. A year or two later his family moved to Dudley, Mass., and when he was a little more than nine years old, moved again to Pomfret Landing, Conn. It was in Pomfret that he killed his first partridge, caught in a snare, in 1842, when he was eleven years old. Since then he has hunted them every season, more or less, but usually more.
