from: 'Diary of Walter Yonge esq. Justice of the Peace and M.P. for Honiton from 1604 to 1628'

The habitual wearing of arms was discontinued. The effects of this upon society can hardly be sufficiently estimated. Armed citizens upon an affront at a church-ale or bull-baiting drew upon each other as readily as men would now resent any personal indignity or insult by a blow with the fist.

The great reform was not always quietly submitted to. Nicholas Hassard [appears to be the cousin of John b.1531], a member of the corporation of Lyme Regis, forfeited his freedom in 1584, for refusing to lay down his weapons, and not to wear them in the street, when commanded to do so. His indignation at cuch an order led him "to shoulder the mayor." Robert Yonge, uncle of the writer of diary, married a Hassard.

[footnote: Constables made such characters the subject of their presentments at the Court Leets. A furious, passionate man ran a risk of being desribed, like Nicholas Hassard, by the constables as, Preicolosum et irregulatum et pronum homines ad eos ledend' et nocend'. . .]

. . ."Given the inclusion of Robert Hassard and John Viney among the confederates of this libellous action, this case may well have had a religious aspect as well; Hassard and Viney were deprived of their magistracy by an order of the town council in October 1608 in part because they were supporters and special favourites of John Geare an 'unbeneficed Preacher who hath bin a cause of great factions & devisions amongst us. . . by such libells is often infringed, but unlawfully Combyning, Conspiring and Confederating with divers and sundry other lewd and ill disposed persons and namelie one Susan Harvey wife of the said Richard Harvey, Milicent Tompson, Robert Hassard thelder, John Hassard, and Ann Hassard his wife, . . .

Robert Hassard held a moiety of the manor of Seaton. He was one of a family settled as merchants at Lyme in the reign of Henry VIII. The first prepositus of Bristol in the reign of Henry III [1207-1272] was Rainold Hassard. Several of the family represented Lyme in parliament. The family removed about 1650 to the county of Fermanagh, in Ireland, where they have a seat, called Garden Hill.

Robert Hassard was a great supporter of the Puritan minister, and vicar of Lyme Regis, named Geare, who licence to preach had been withdrawn. This caused great divisions in the borough, engaging in which Mr. Robert Hassard was Star-Chambered, and expelled from the corporation.

from : The city of Exeter: Letters and other papers : The Bodley Lectureship :

. . . Nov., 1615, John Periam, John Prouz and 14 others write to the Bishop [William Cotton] nominating Mr. John Hazard as Bodley preacher,

. . . Jan. 16, 1616, the Chamber agree to nominate and appoynt Mr. John Hassard, minister, to be lecturer accordynge to the will of Doctor Bodley

. . .April 5, 1616." The report is given in the form of a dialogue between H. (i.e. Hazard) and B. (the Bishop of Exeter):—

. . . B.: You have preached false doctrine [but would not shew me wherein, because I know he could not]. And beside (sayth he) you have been a companion with Trasque.—H.: My lord, ytt is not so, for I can bringe good testimony that I have twise publickly in two severall sermons att Lyme confuted the erroneous fancyes of Trasque, beside my brief notes I have yett to shew and I refere you to Mr. Knowles his testimony of the truth of this the whole towne of Lyme can wittnes the same.

B.: Where are you letters demissory?—H.: My lord, I brought you an ample certificate from Lyme, where I have last made my aboade, and beside I have my lord of Canterbury's approbation.

. . . (ffinis.) John Hassarde.

. . . May 21, 1617, it is agreed to have a Divine from the Universitie to supplie the place of Mr. Hasard in reading the Sabbathe Day's lecture founded by Mr. Doctor Bodlighe, late deceased,

It appears that John Hazard/Hassard/Hassarde/Hasard did not get the job, but...

from: Ancestors of David Kipp Conover

Rev. Peter Maverick was born circa 1550 at Awliscombe, Devonshire, England. He married Dorothy Tucke on 7-Nov-1577 at Awliscombe. Rev. Peter Maverick died before 3-Feb-1616/17 at England, This is the date when John Hassard was instituted Vicar of Awliscombe in his stead. We know that The Reverend Peter died a “violent death”. It is noted thus in the Intitution Books of Exeter, 1573-1630, in which the replacement of Peter Maverick by John Hassard is noted via the former’s death per necem - indicating that the former had suffered a violent death.
- Awliscombe is not far from Colyton. This looks like the same John Hassard.

There is a record of John HASSARD, clerk, Awliscombe, made a Will in 1638
