General Notes: Husband - Samuel Hazlett

---

The Hazlett ancestry were English, Samuel Hazlett, having been a native of the "land that bears a well-known name," whence early in life he moved to Ireland. He married and shortly afterward emigrated to America, making their first home in the New World near Baltimore, Maryland, where he followed carpentering, and where were born to them two children. About 1778 the little family set out on a journey to Pennsylvania, on horseback, accompanied by a slave named "Jingo," and a convict whose "time" had been purchased by Mr. Hazlett. Slowly the party wended their way over the rough roads, until they finally reached Washington County, and there they made a halt, near where A. O. Day later occupied a farm, in Franklin township; being among the first to settle in the township. Here their first dwelling was an old abandoned log cabin, with no floor save mother earth, and here they had to make a clearing for their farm-the men chopping down the forest trees, while the grandmother dug up the briars and other underbrush. They afterward learned that the family who had previously occupied this old cabin had been murdered by Indians. For the first year the young Hazlett colony raised but little on their small clearing, and their chief article of food was hominy, and such other provisions as they may have brought with them; they had to bring salt from Baltimore on horseback. Their nearest neighbors were a long way removed, and consequently they had but few visitors, except it might be a prowling Indian or wolf; on one occasion a couple of rattlesnakes entered their cabin, and coiled themselves up for warmth on the stones on which the fire had been burning.

He was born in Ireland. [GPHFC, 327]
