Halfast Gamgee: Halfred Gamgee: Halfred Gamgee: Halfred Greenhand: Hanna (Goldworthy) Brandybuck: Hamfast "Ham / Gaffer / Old" Gamgee: (From Anglo-Saxon hām, "house", and fæst, "fixed") Father of Samwise Gamgee. He married Bell Goodchild, with whom he had six children, including Samwise (his youngest son), and lived at number three Bagshot Row in the Shire. He was a gardener on the Baggins property at Bag End for many years. He was frequently consulted for his knowledge of root vegetables, generally over a pint at The Green Dragon, an inn at Bywater. Early in The Fellowship of the Ring, he erroneously tells a Nazgûl that Frodo had left Bag End that morning, while this meant that the Nazgûl did not continue on to Bag End, it did give-away the general direction that Frodo was headed. He also plays a minor role in The Return of the King. Samwise, after adopting the name Gardner, named one of his children after Hamfast. Sam often refers to his father as "Gaffer" or "the Gaffer". Hamfast Gardner: A son of Samwise Gamgee.
