Page 2 of 3 Vo1.33 1879.] The Hazen Family. 229 His will, dated 13 June, and proved 15 August, 1650 (REGISTER, vii. 334), mentions his father Richard, his brothers Richard, Samuel and Henry, and sisters Rosamond and Grace. He leaves a certain amount towards releas- ing Aunt Clarke's son from Captain Middleton, in the Barbadoes, and appoints Uncle John Clarke and George Munninge as executors; the former gentleman renouncing this trust on the will of 46 his cosen R. Salton- stall."* This will appears to be the only contemporary allusion to any kinship between Martha, wife of Dr. John Clarke, and the Saltonstall family, but, unfortunately, it leaves us in uncertainty as to whether Mrs. Clarke was a sister of Robert Saltonstall's father, or of his mother, Grace Kaye, or of either of his two step-mothers, Elizabeth West and Mrs. Wil- ford. The late Mr. H. G. Somerby, of London, who made some researches for me on the subject in 1871, says, referring to Samuel, the father of Sir Richard, he may have had a daughter Martha, who was married to Doctor Clarke, but I have no evidence of it." Moreover the widow Martha Clarke, who died in 1680, aged 85, could not have been the young maiden "about 12 years of age," who "landed (in 1630) on the spot of ground called Boston, with her brother Sir Richard." As to the legend of the Gordon family, it may easily have arisen, through lapse of time, from the fact of the younger Richard Saltonstall's marriage with Muriel Gurdon, coupled with their subsequent residence for some years in Scotland. This legend has been already alluded to in the REGISTER (vol. xxvii. 138), though the writer errs in making the wife of Councillor William Clarke to have been his cousin Mary Whittingham. That lady married another William Clarke of Boston, who died in 1710; subsequently she became the wife of Gov. Gurdon Saltonstall of the Connecticut Colony, and died in 1730, aged 68. She is highly spoken of in the Boston Gazette of January 31, and the New England Weekly Journal of January 26. The latter paper mentions her descent from the Dean Whittingham of Durham, a story which is repeated in the Clarke genealogical paper under discussion. She was the grandmother of Richard Clarke, the father-in-law of Copley the artist, and the grandfather of the late Lord Lyndburst. THE HAZEN FAMILY. FOUR AMERICAN GENERATION& By HENRY ALLEN HAZEN, A.M., New Haven, Conn. family beyond the sea has not been traced. Recent a family bearing the name in Newcastle-on-Tyne, in the last century, and possibly the fact may afford a clue to the English home of the Puritan Edward. 1. EDWARD HAZEN was the immigrant ancestor. The first mention of the name, which has been found, occurs in the records of Rowley. "Elizabeth, wife of Edward Hassen, was baryed 1649 Sept. 18." He was On the map which accompanies Ligon's description of Barbadoes, 1647-50 (published London, 1673), we find the house of a Mr. Saltonstall on the west side, near Spykese Bay, and on the east side, at the head of Clarke's Bay, the dwelling of a Mr. Clarke.

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.

Among its present representatives are Abraham Hazen, Esq., a successful merchant on Broadway, New York, and the Hon. Abraham D. Hazen of Pennsylvania, now Third Assistant Post Master General. The last two children, Thomas and Hannah, are set here, as probably their true place in the line. The record of their birth 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 "John and John, Jr.," of Lyme, at same date, are not father and son, and no place can be found for the father of this Thomas in the line; while if we assume this easy slip of the clerk's pen,-and clerks do make mistakes,-the difficulty disappears, and these children fall into a sequence 80 natural as to constitute a strong proof of its correctness. 6.

His land, or that of the family, extended across the town along its north bound six miles, and included 1000 acres around the present village of West Hartford. He built in 1775 the first two-story house in the town, in the north east corner on the Connecticut river road. It in still occupied, as it always has been, by his descendants, Asa," Allen, and Charles Dana, who is its present owner. He died Aug. 19, 1782.

THIS spring we of Roxbury wth some of Dorehester ventured to sea in a small vessell but the master wanted sufficient experience, & the vessel overmasted & was over-sett, & many weeks after came whole all- most, ashore to shew the error of men to goe to sea so rawly: many m cast away in her, stoughtons eldest sonne,* m Howards Eldest sonnet w many others. This was doubtless Israel Stoughton, the eldest son of Col. Israel Stoughton, of Dor- chester. He was probably born in England. Israel Stoughton, Jr., may have been, for a time, commander of the train-band in Dorchester, for in 1645, when he was admitted a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in Boston, he was styled as Cap- tain." His brother William, afterwards the noted Lieut. Governor, was born, according to a record on the Church Book, at Dorchester, Sept. 30, 1631. John, a younger son of Col. Stoughton, was baptized Jan. 1, 1638-9. The father, in his will, made in London, where be then was, July 17, 1644, desires that his eldest son Israel should have a double portion, unless he prove himself unworthy; in such case his double portion to go to William if William prove noworthy, then the same to be given to the next sun John. To his son Israel be gives the fourth part of his small library. to John a fourth part, to William, then in the 13th year of his age, the other half, for his encouragement to apply himself to studies, especially of the Holy Scriptures unto which they are mostly helpful his wife to retain to her use what books she pleaseth, and his daughters to choose each of them one for their own, that all may have something they may call their father's. See abstract of the will, REGIS- TEB, iv. 51; and inventory of the estate, taken April 2, 1650, vit. 333. Col. Stoughton was conspiceous in town and state was one of the largest adventa- rere with Mr. Edward Rosseter, the Assistant, residing in Dorchester plantation, was also chosen Assistant, commanded in the Pequos expedition, was & member of the synod which tried Mrs. Hutchinson, assisted in preparing the general laws of the colony, served as a commissioner relative to the government of New Hampshire in 1641, &c., was Lieutenant under Rainsborough in England, and died in Lincoln in 1645. He left 300 acres of land to Harvard College. His daughter Hannah, born in April, 1637, m. Dec. 9, 1653, James Minot, second son of Elder George Minot, of Dorchester, Elizabeth, second daughter of James and Hannah (Stoughton) Minot, bapt. Dec. 27, 1663, m. Rev. John Danforth, of Dorchester, Nov. 21, 1682. One of their children, Israel Stoughton Danforth, was born 14th and baptized the 16th Oct. 1687. This is the earliest middle name found on the Dor- chester Church Records, the name of Role-on-god," son of John and grandson of Rev. John Cotton, of Boston, baptised at Dorchester May 3, 1668, not coming, as we consider, in that category. On the margin of the page it is written, # Rowlandus Cotton, minister of Sandwich 1696." He graduated H. c. 1685, ord. Nov. 2, 1694; had a son Rowland, H.C. 1719, and four other sons, ministers, John, Nathaniel, Josiah and Ward. Rowland, the father, died March 22, 1722. + Quite likely this young man was a son of Robert Howard, and born in England. We know not bis name. Robert Howard had several children born in this country.

Epp Reply To : Stanley Hazen Hello, Ron - Picked up your envelope during my weekly stop at the P. O. on my way to the weekly Wednesday lunch with fellow radio amateurs. Many thanks. Upon checking "The Hazen Family in America," I found your Charles Hazen. His father was William Hazen, who moved from Boston to New Brunswick at the time of the Revolution. "The Book" states that, although William was sympathetic to the rebels' cause, he felt the need to move in order to protect his considerable maritime shipping interests. The vast majority of Canadian Hazens are William's descendants. You'll find Charles on page 177 of "The Hazen. " General Moses Hazen of the Revolution was an older brother of William. I was instrumental in getting the original MSS that led to the publication of the 1947 book donated to NEHGS. Check The collection is catalogued there as MSS 406. A question - what evidence do you have for Elizabeth Brown's having been born in Boston? "The Book" states "..born at Concord [?] 11 I don't disbelieve you, but I'd love to have direct evidence. From what you sent, Boston seems more probable. According to "The Book," Elizabeth Brown was Charles Hazen's first wife. Thirteen months after she died, Charles is stated to have married her sister Nancy, two years junior to Elizabeth. Thank you again very much.
