Lombard was a seafaring man and moved to Athol in 1767 where John lived with him and served as his substitute in some campaigns.

Notes:

Hannah called herself Hannah (Cross) Wood when she married John, so she may have been previously married to someone named Wood. She was the daughter of Capt. Christopher and Jemima (Eaton) Cross.
