General Notes: Husband - Nathaniel Hazen


History says that he was first located in the state of New Jersey, from which he removed to Washington County, Pennsylvania, and shortly afterward went to North Sewickley (later Franklin) township, Beaver County, and settled on a tract of land where S. M. Hazen later resided. A patent for this land, issued from the Government to the eldest son of Nathaniel Hazen, bore the date 1790. Nathaniel possessed considerable means, owning two hundred acres of land, and becoming a man of prominence in his day. Having very fertile land, he made a specialty of raising timothy seed, which he carried over the mountains on horseback, and exchanged for salt and merchandise. He conducted a small store, and was the proud owner of the first buggy ever seen in those parts. The house occupied by him as a residence was built of logs, as was the barn-the former containing only one door and one window. Nathaniel Hazen set out an orchard, a portion of which was yet bearing at the beginning of the twentieth century.

He was a soldier in the Continental Army, in the war for the independence of the colonies, from the Wyoming Valley; he and his wife moved to the Wyoming Valley, then known as Westmoreland, Connecticut, and resided there until the massacre, July 3, 1778, when they were driven out and went to Sussex County, New Jersey. There his family remained until the close of the War for Independence; and then they moved to Fort Pitt, now Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, thence to Peter's Creek in Washington County, where they resided until the disturbance known as the Whisky Insurrection, in western Pennsylvania. About this time they crossed the Ohio River and settled on the Conoquenessing Creek, then Allegheny, now Beaver, County, on a tract of land where he and his wife died. He took title to this land in 1791.
