Notes

THE ANCESTRY OF HANNAH (GRANT) HAZEN

Edwards Hazen's wife, Hannah Grant, the mother of the American Hazens, derived from the parish of Cottingham in Yorkshire, England. It has longbeen known that she was a daughter of Thomas and Jame Grant of Rowley,MA Her ancestry has been traced by the author Tracy Elliott Hazen to allfour grandparents, and to one great-grandfather.
Although the maiden name of Mrs. Hannah Hazen does not appear in her marriage record, in accordance with the practice of the town clerk for that year, nevertheless her family history is known from an affidavit filed in the Essex County Probate Court in the settlement of the estate ofher brother John Grant, who died at Rowley, 18 Mar. 1696/97; "I Sam Stickney Sr of Bradford do testifie and say That I came over from Englandto New England in the same ship wth Thomas Grant and Jame Grant his Wife, who brought over wth them Foure Children, by name John, Hannah, Frances and Ann, whome I was well acquainted with, and next or near neighbours unto in Rowley. And ye said John being deceased, I do affirm that the sisters of John Grant above named, now by marriage knowne by he namesof Hannah Browne, Frances Keyes, and Ann Emerson, are ye same yt cameover sth their Father and Mother, and by them owned wth said John for their children." Sworn to 20 July 1698. [Essex Inst. Hist. Coll., 21:99.]
Thomas and Jame Grant came from England in 1638. No record of their death is known, but as Widow Jane Grant she had a house lot on Bradford Street, Rowley, in 1643, and was taxed for two cows in 1653. Of their four children, John died without issue; Frances married, at Newbury, MA, 2OCT 1653, Solomon Keyes of Newbury, soon of Chelmsford, MA; and Ann married, at Rowley, 4 Jan 1658, Robert Emerson of Haverhill.
The town of Rowley was settled under the leadership of Rev. Ezekiel Rogers, who arrived in Salem, MA, in December, 1638, with about twenty families of his Yorkshire friends, "godly men, and most of them of good estate." He had labored, with great fidelity and eminent usefulness, for seventeen years in the parish of Rowley, in the southern part of Yorkshire, but at length was suspended, "for refusing to read that accursed book that allowed sports on God's holy Sabbath, or Lord's day, and, by itand other signs of the times, driven, with many of his hearers, into New England." The company spent the winter in Salem, some of them prospecting at New Haven, where they were importuned to settle. About April, 1639, increased to about sixty families, they made a settlement between Ipswich and Newbury, which was incorporated 7 Sept. 1639 under the name of Rowley. "These people it appears, labored together and in common, fornearly five years from the time they commenced a settlement in this place; no man owning any land in severalty from the company, until after they had, probably, cleared up the lands on each side of the brook that runs through the central part of what is now the first parish in Rowley,and laid out the several streets as now improved." [Gage, Hist. of Rowley, p. 122.] On 10 Jan. 1643, a survey of the town was made by Mr. Thomas Nelson, Mr. Edward Carleton, Humphrey Reyner, and Francis Parrot, and the location and size of each house lot (consisting usually of an acre and a half) recorded; in this register the name of Edward Hazen doesnot appear. The remaining undivided land was called commons, and it was agreed that every 1 1/2 acre house lot should have 1 1/2 "gates" or cow rights in the common pastures.
In a later survey, undated, but probably made before 1647, is found thefirst mention of our common ancestor as a land owner, probably also theearliest record of the family in America:
Certaine Diuisions of Meadow laid out in the Meadow Called Crane Meadow
To Edward Hassen three Acres of meadow lying on the South east side of John Smithes meadow the northeast end abutting upon a pond the south west end upon the upland.
To Leonard Harriman seauen Acres of meadow lying on the Southeast side of Edward Hassens meadow pt of it bought of William Hobson and pt of John Harris the east end abutting upon a brooke the west end upon the upland ---
Uplands laid out at the plaine Called the Great plaine Imp to Edward Hassen foure Acres & an halfe of upland at the plaine Called the great plaine lying next the south ffence by the Country way the east end abutting toward the fence the west end towards other.
To John Smith 5 Acres of upland lying on the north side of Edward Hassens land abutting as aforesaid.
To Thomas Tenny two Acres & and halfe of land lying on the north side of John Smithes land abutting as aforesaid.
To William Tenny two Acres of land lying on the north side of Thomas Tennyes land abutting as aforesaid [Rowley Records, pp. 46-48.]
In a list, apparently regarding cattle about 1648, is found "Edw Hasen 2"; August 1650, apparently a tax list for oxen, "Edward hasen 2"; and asimilar list slightly later, "Ed;hassen paid - butter." "The names of those that has Calues & the number of them 1650: Ed Hasen - 1 T Tenne-1 Ri Swan-2." [ibid., pp. 53, 59, 60, 61.]
In accordance with an order made in the year 1650, the fences of the common fields of the town of Rowley were divided according to the proportion of land held by individual proprietors, and a number was assigned to each man's portion; the comparative length of the fence to be maintained by Edward Hazen and some of his neighbors who became ancestors of many Hazen descendants is of interest as indicating their relative holdings at this time: "the hundred and fort Rod of the feild fence which they who have gats in the ox pastur are to make and mainetaine its thus numbered as followeth
VIfrances Parrat six rale Length
VIIMr Shewell Twelue rale Length
VIIIWilliam Asee six rale Lengths
VIIIMr Carlton six Rale Lengths
XThomas Teney six rale Length
XIThomas Crosbee six rale Length
XIIRichard Swane nine rale Length
XIIIIEdward hasen three Rale Length
XVMr Ezekiell Rogers nineteene rale Lengths
XVIIIMr Thomas Nellson Thirty one rale Lengths
The fence between the ox lpasture and the medow which is a two Rale fence at further sid of the ox pasture to ye mill ward thos are the seuerall proportions as folleth euery ox gate Two rale lengths and euer aker of medow foure and a half--
IIfrances Parrat foure rale Lengths
XVIMr Ezekiell Rogers twelue rail Length
XVIIEdward Hasen Twol rale Lengths
XVIIIJohn Smith foure rale Lengths
XVIIIIJohn Pearson eighteen rale Lengths
XXMr Edward Carlton Thirty rale Lengths
XXIRobert Swane foure rale Length & halfe and Richard Swane suenteene and half of length
XXIIWilliam Boynton nine rale Lengths
XXIIIWill Teny and Thomas Teny nine Lengths
There were others with small holdings, but Edward Hazen's proportion incomparison with those listed above was even less then appears, since their names are on another list from which his is absent. [Rowley Records, pp.61-4.]
"At a generall and legall towne meeting held the same tyme [5 May 1659]It was granted that Richard Swan and John Lambert should view and lay out a certaine percell of land as they shall see cause unto Edward HazenJoyneing to his owne land in the Common feild nere Cowbridge."[Ibid., p. 103.]
By 4 Feb. 1661 Edward Hazen had attained a relatively high degree of prosperity, as shown in "A Survay of The Seuerall Gates or Commonages belonging unto The seuerall Inhabbitants of The Towne of Rowley as They are Now in possession haueing Been Transfered and Sould from one To another since the Begining of the Said Towne--
To Edward Hassen his halfe two acre lot that he purchased of John Smithtwo gates and one quarter
purchased of John Tod one gate
purchased of the towne one and of Thomas Crosbie one 2 gates
purched of Thomas Nelson one and one that he had of the towne for land he laid downe -- 2 gates
This total os seven and one quarter gates, or cattle rights, appears tohave been surpassed only by Elizabeth Tenney alias Parratt and two or three others, the average number was about three gates to a proprietor. [Ibid., p. 120.]
Surveys in 1662: "To Edward Hassen as his first devission of land threeacres and one hundred Rod be it more or less lieing on the south side of Richard hollmes land the west end buting against William tennys land the east against the common. To Edward Hasen three acres and one hundredRod lieing on the south side of Mark Prime's land." {Gage, Hist. of Rowley, pp. 143, 144.]
In 1667 Hog Island marshes were divided and laid out, and Edward Hazen received a share. On 16 Apr. 1688, "the town passed an order, directing the town brook to be cleared out, three feet wide and two feet deep, andso kept: Beginning at Jonathan Jackson's land on Bradford Street, and so through Jachin Reyner's land downward, till the brooks meet, and thence downward till the brook enters Satchwell;s meadow; and from Edward Hazen's bridge in his swamp [Town's End bridge] downward to the other brook-" [Ibid., p 144.]
Baptism: October 16, 1631, Cottingham, Yorkshire, England[Hazen21404.FTW]
