From “Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of the State of Massachusetts” (1910), Volume IV, by Richard Cutter, William Frederick Adams, page 2189:

"John Hammond lived in Melford, England, and there is little doubt that he was John Hammond, the fuller and cloth manufacturer who is mentioned in the Melford records, and who was named as executor in the will of John Hammond the elder, of Melford, dated August 4, 1517, proved April 22, 1528. He may have been the son of this John, although he is not mentioned as a son in the will. John the elder was of the Lawshall family of Hammonds who trace their ancestry back to the year 1400. In any event he was undoubtedly a near relative and without doubt a descendant of the John Hammond of Lawshall whose will was proved December 19, 1440, and who was born before 1400."
