 THE IIAZEN FAMILY. 
 
 FOPR AMERICAN GENERATIONS. 
 
 By Hbniiv Allen Hazen, A.M., New Haven, Conn. 
 
 :•('' 
 
 THE origin of this family beyond the sea bas not been traced. Recent 
 information locates a family bearing the name in Newcastle-on-Tyne, 
 in the last century, and possibly the fact may atFord a clue to the English 
 home of the Puritan Edward. 
 
 1. Edward' IIazen was the immigrant ancestor. The first mention 
 of the name, which has been found, occurs in thu records of Rowley. 
 " Elizabeth, wife of Edward Hassen, was buryed 1GI9 Sept. 18." Ho was 
 a man of substance and influence in the town ; was overseer or Selectman 
 in 1650, 1651, 1654, 1660, 1661, 1665 and 1668, and judge of delinquents 
 1666. In the records of surveys, Feb. 4, 1661, he appears entitled to 
 "seven gates." These related to cattle rights on the town commons; the 
 average number being three, and no one had more than seven. The inven- 
 tory of his estate amounted to £404 : 7 : 8. 
 
 Of his first wife, Elizabeth, nothing is known ; or where or how long 
 they had been married. 
 
 He married (2) in March, 1650, Hannah, dau. of Thomas ilnd Hannah- 
 Grant. He was buried in Rowley, July 22, 1683. His widow m. (2) 
 March 17, 1683-4, George Browne of Haverhill, who Sept. 9, 1693, adopted 
 her youngest son Richard as the sole heir to his large estate. Lieut. Browne 
 d. Oct. 31, 1699, aged 76; his wife d. Feb. 1715-16. The children of 
 Edward and Hannah (Grant) llazen, all born in Rowley, were: 
 
 EnzAnKTH, b. March 8, 1650-1 ; m. April 1, 1670, Nathaniel, aon of 
 John and Bridget-Harris of Rowley. 
 
 Hannah, b. Septl 1653 ; m. William (jibeon, and d. before 1683, leav- 
 ing three children. 
 
 John, h. Sept. 22, 1655. He is not mentioned in the distribution of 
 his father 8 astate ; while the children of Hannah, deceased, do re- 
 ceive their portion ; and Thomas receives two of the eleven shares, 
 or the double portion of the oldest sou. John must therefore have 
 died without issue. 
 
 Thomas, b. Feb. 2«, 1657-8; d. in Norwich, Ct., April 12, 1735. 
 
 Edward, b. Sept. 10, 1660 ; d. 1748. 
 
 IsAHELL', b. July 21, 1662; m. Jan. 16, 1680, John, son of Thomas 
 and Aim- Wood of Boxford. 
 
 Pricklla, b. Nov. 25, 106-1 ; m. July 21, 1681, Jeremiah, son of John 
 and Dorcas Pearson, of Rowley.

 again removed to Norwich, Conn., wlicre he died April 12, 1735, aged 77 
 years. He lived in the part of Norwich called West Farms, and, with

 To the line of this John it is probable that the extensive families in New 
 Jersey belong, from which offshoots are found in Pennsylvania, and in 
 Walsingham, Ontario, Canada. Among its present representatives are 
 Abraiiam Hazen, Esq., a successful merchant on IJrondway, New York, 
 and the Hon. Abraham D. Ilazen of Pennsylvania, now Third Assistant 
 Post Master General. 
 
 The last two children, Thomas and Hmmah, are sot here, as probably their 
 true place in the line. The record of their Itirth is found at Lyme, Conn., 
 where the birth of Thomas is entered 1722-3; probably an error for 
 1732-3. If the record is correct, the " ./(^/i« and J'b/w, ./?•.," of Lyme, at 
 same date, are not father and son, and no place can be found for the 
 father of this Tiionias in the line; while if we assume this easy slip of the 
 clerk's pen, — and clerks do make mistakes, — the dilRculty disappears, and 
 these children fall into a sequence so natural as to constitute a strong proof 
 of its correctness.

 10. Samukl* (Edward* Edward'). Note by Rev. Seth Chandler, of 
 Sbirli'V, Mitss. " In 1741), Samuel Ilazcn purchasml a farm in what was 
 then ealled Stow-le;;, a atnull strip of land soon after aiiiiexe<l to Shirjey, 
 forming its entire soutliern boundary. This estate, aft»ir many changes and 
 improvements, remains in possession of the family of the fourth and fifth 
 generations, lie was elioseii selectman at organization of the town in 
 1753, and held the same olHce in after years. Few families pass through 
 four generations like the Hazens of Shirley, maintaining such general good 
 character and sustaining such unvariahle thrift. A patient, faithful and 
 honest industry, and a consistent economy, are usually at the foundation of 
 such success." Samuel m. Oct. 1, 1723, Sarah Ilarriman. She d. Ang. 1,
