John5 Hazen (John*, John3, Thomas2, Edward1), born at Lyme, Conn., 10 Feb. 1737/8, died at Minisink, Orange Co., N. Y., 1795; m. Anna Landon of Connecticut, who survived him.* The first evidence of this family in New York is found in a mortgage given 19 Nov. 1772 by John Hazen of the "Precinct of Goshen, County of Orange, and Province of New York" to Wm. Wickham of the City of New York, on a tract of land of about 98 acres in Warwick, "to be void on payment of £154 with interest on 19 Nov. 1773, in full discharge of one bond bearing even date with these from John Hazen and Joseph Hazen." Again, on 20 Mar. 1791, John Hazen of the Precinct of Goshen, etc., purchased "one half of lot no. 3 situated at the south end of lot no. 9 in the first west Division in the Patent of Wawayanda, County of Orange," and gave a mortgage for the full amount (£60), which was paid 16 Feb. 1796. By his will, dated 26 Mar. 1795, which begins "John Hazen of Minisink township, weak in body but of perfect mind and memory," he left to his "eldest son Samuel ten shil- lings" and to his wife all his lands, etc., and named his friend Paul Lee and his wife Anna, executors. The will was proved in April 1795. Children: 302 i. Samuel', b. 3 July 1765. 303 ii. Isaiah, b. 15 June 1768. 304 iii. Jeremiah, b. about 1771-3. 305 iv. John; m. Lizzie Stewart.

They are said to have lived in Wallkill or Chester, Orange Co., N. Y. Michael's will was dated 11 Nov. 1786 and he left to his grandson Moses Moris a black mare and colt; all the rest of his estate was to be equally divided among his children: John Hendershot (said to have lived near Florida, N. Y., in 1820), Elizabeth Semen, Cateren [Catherine?] Denis, Casper Hendershot, Jacob Hender- shot, William Hendershot, Sarah Roof, and Suffiah [Sophia] Roof. The names of Isaiah Hendershot, unmarried, and Israel Hendershot, who mar- ried Betsey Stidd and lived in Sullivan Co., N. Y., are also given in this family. 'Probably daughter of Capt.

Nathaniel5 Hazen (John*, John8, Thomas2, Edward1), born in New Jersey, 17 Mar. 1745, died in Beaver Co., Pa., 3 Nov. 1835; married 27 Nov. 1768, Maky Bell, born 24 Oct. 1748, died 29 Dec. 1834, probably daughter of Isaac Bell. The family tradition* is that Nathaniel Hazen, soon after his marriage, joined the other Connecticut colonists in the Wyoming settlement on the Susquehanna River, but was driven out by the Indians at the time of the massacre in 1778. He, together with two or three brothers of his father, returned to New Jersey. [The records of Sussex Co., N. J., show that he was named an executor of the estate of his brother-in-law James Bell in 1778 and that "Nathaniel Hazen late of Newton, Sussex Co." sold land in Newton in 1793.] He is said to have served in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, and at its close to have moved with his brothers Joseph and Samuel to Fort Pitt (now Pittsburgh, Pa.). Not satisfied with Fort Pitt, they located in Washington County on Chartiers Creek in the Monongahela valley. They were very poor, having lost all when driven from the Wyoming valley, and here in the west, without convenient markets, their life was full of hardships. They took to making their grain into high wines, which they transported on pack saddles to Philadelphia, where they traded it for necessaries. Then Congress passed the Act levying an excise tax on high wines payable in coin, but the settlers had no coin and considered the tax unjust. In the ensuing Whiskey Rebellion, the Hazens were among the insurgents and at its close, rather than ask pardon for wrong which they did not admit they committed, the family in council decided to seek refuge m the wilderness. They went north of the Ohio River and opened up the tract where North Sewickley, Beaver Co., is now located. Nathaniel Hazen's farm was still in the possession of his grandson Smith McDaniel Hazen in the 1850*s. On 28 Jan. 1797 Charles Morgan of Allegheny Co., Pa., for i91 10s. conveyed to Nathaniel Hazen of Allegheny Co. 182 acres 143 perches called "Harcourt," [also read "Mancourt"], situated on the waters of Montours Run in Allegheny Co. [Allegheny Co. Deeds, 18: 463.] On 9 Sept. 1807 Benjamin Chew, Jr., conveyed to Nathaniel Hazen of Beaver Co., Pa., 200 acres, part of a tract called "Hatfield," situated on the Conequenessing Creek. [Beaver Co. Deeds, B: 83.] In Jan. 1821 Nathaniel Hazen and wife Mary of Beaver Co. for $1000 conveyed to Samuel Hazen land in North Sewickley township, Beaver Co., bordering on land of Nathaniel Hazen, J. Merrick, and James Hazen, and on Conequenessing Creek, containing 115 acres, being part of Hazen's Delight * This la the story as told for the most part by Isaac Hazen, son of Nathaniel, to Aaron L. Hazen about 18S7.

THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE BIOGRAPHY OF
CHARLES SMITH

…..Charles Smith was born Sept. 14, 1807, in Windham….

Mr. Smith was married at North Windham, Nov. 3,1835, to Mary Abbe, who was born Aug. 14, 1816, in Windham, and died April 10, 1901. She was a descendant of a family long noted in Colonial annals, and was the mother of two children: Guilford, mentioned elsewhere; and Mary, who became the wife of P. H. Woodward, of Hartford, and has two children, Helen and Charles Guilford, the former now the wife of Rev. Stephen Henry Granberry, rector of St. Barnabas’ Episcopal Church at Newark, N.J. Mrs. Granberry is the mother of two children, Helen and Mary Emeline.

The Abbe genealogy is traced to Mrs. Smith as follows: John Abbe a resident of Salem, Mass., as early as 1637, had two wives, both of whom bore the name Mary. The first died in 1672, and he was married to the second in 1674. He died at Wendham, Mass., about 1690.

Samuel Abbe, son of John Abbe, married Mary Knowlton in 1672, and died in 1698, having made his home at Wendham.

Ebenezer Abbe, son of Samuel Abbe, was born in Salem, Mass., in 1683, and was at Norwich, Conn., in 1705, and at Windham the following year. His home was near North Windham, in the town of Mansfield. In 1725, he united with the Hampton Church. He married Mary, a daughter of Joshua Allen, in 1707, and she died in 1766.

Joshua Abbe, born in 1710, married Mary Ripley in 1736. She was a daughter of Joshua Ripley, of Willimantic. Mr. Abbe had an extensive farm near the Chaplin line, which he called his “kingdom,” and owing to the influence which he exercised in the community, was often called “King Abbe.” He died in 1807, and his wife in 1769.

Phineas Abbe, son of Joshua Abbe, was born Nov. 22, 1746, and in 1767, married Mary, daughter of Gideon Bingham, Sr. She died, and in 1778 he married Susannah Brown. Mr. Abbe was a prosperous farmer in Windham, his homestead being south of Windham Center, where he died in 1800, his widow, who was born in Windham May 15, 1752, surviving until April 26, 1804.

Moses Cleveland Abbe, son of Phineas, was born Nov. 16, 1785, and married Feb. 1, 1809, Talitha Waldo, daughter of Zaccheus Waldo, of Windham. Mr. Abbe lived two miles south of Windham Center. His daughter, Mary, became the wife of Charles Smith, as above related. The other children are thus briefly noted: Susan married Andrew Frink, of Windham, and was the mother of a son, Edwin; George went to New York City, where he married Charlotte Colgate; Eliza Taintor is the widow of Henry S. Walcott, who was at one time president of the Windham bank, and died in Windham; Mary was fourth; Joshua G., now deceased, married Sarah Fuller, of Windham, who bore him a son and two daughters, Jessie, Waldo and Susan; and John Randolph, who was twice married, first to Lucy Avery, of South Windham, and, second, to Josephine Robbins, resides in Providence, R.I. (Lucy A. Abbe was the mother of Charles S. Abbe, now a citizen of Pittsburg, Pa.).

ABBY, ABBEY, or ABBEE, JOHN, Salem 1637, when gr. of ld. was made to him, of Reading later, and freem. 1685, then call. sen. so that perhaps he had s. of the same name, and very prob. is it, that he had others.

He was of Salem vill. now Danvers, when adm. freem. 1690. Only the youngest ch. was b. at W. and some discrepance. from the pro. rec. as to the ages of most of the ch. is furnish. me (by Mr. Felt) in the rec. of b. as that Ebenezer was b. 31 July 1683 ; Mary, 1 Mar. 1685 ; Sarah, 6 July 1686; Hepzibah, 14 Feb. 1689; Abigail, 19 Nov. 1690; John, 4 June 1692; and Benjamin, 4 June 1694. THOMAS, Enfield, perhaps br. of Obadiah, had Sarah, b. 31 Mar. 1684; Thomas, 1686; Mary, 3 Feb. 1689, wh. d. bef. her f. and John 1692; beside Tabitha. He d. 1728, leav. w. Sarah, and in his will of Dec. 1720, she and the two s. are nam. as also two ds. call. Sarah Geer and Abigail Warner. His s. Thomas had s. Obadiah, and Thomas; and John had John, Thomas, Daniel, and Richard; but prob. no gr.ch. ought here to be ins.
