General Notes: Husband - Benjamin W. Hazen

---

He was a farmer and stock raiser, owning the old family farm on Crabapple run, Fayette County, Pennsylvania.

He bought a farm in 1901. It was land that had an interesting history. The first record of its purchase was when Rev. Joseph Smith took out a warrant on September 30, 1785, for a tract of land on the waters of Cross Creek, this tract being called "Welcome" and containing about 363 acres. About eighty-four acres of Mr. Hazen's farm were included in that purchase. This eighty-four-acre tract was conveyed by Joseph Smith and wife to Thomas Pollock by their deed dated May 3, 1786, and Thomas Pollock and wife by deed dated May 6, 1787, conveyed the said eighty-four acres to Robert Fulton, the man of steamboat fame. Mr. Fulton's father, mother and three sisters occupied this farm and it was here his father and mother died. It was long known as the old Fulton farm. James Maxwell moved onto this tract about 1830 and later more land was added to the purchase. It continued in his possession and in that of his son, James B. Maxwell, until 1901, when Benjamin W. Hazen bought it.
Benjamin W. Hazen died on the old Hazen farm in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and his wife passed away at Uniontown in 1909.
