Indexes: About this entry:
|
The second of the six children of Hamfast 'Gaffer' Gamgee and Bell Goodchild, Halfred was one of Samwise Gamgee's elder brothers. Born in the Shire year 1369 (or III 2969), Halfred was thus eleven years Sam's senior (the eldest brother, Hamson, was four years older than Halfred). Halfred would have been raised in Hobbiton, but beyond that we know little of his life beyond a brief comment that he left his childhood home and removed to the Shire's Northfarthing,2 though we are not told precisely where he settled within that farthing. Halfred was just a year younger than Frodo Baggins, and thus almost certainly saw the takeover of the Shire by Sharkey, and Sharkey's subsequent defeat. If he played any part in the events of those years, however, his deeds were not recorded. Notes
