Note: From "Early Hazleton, Indiana" by Leland S. Cunningham:
Will was drawn up on June 23, 1820 and the will was probated January 23, 1822.

From a Nov. 1, 1977 Vincennes, Indiana newspaper is the following:
"Myron Curtner's family has been associated with Knox County and Indiana from it's earliest days. His great, great grandfather was an English ferryman, who immigrated to operate a ferry at Ipswitch, Mass. Daniel Hazleton came west in 1804 as a civil engineer working for Aaron Burr. Burr and Hazleton stopped in Vincennes to meet with William Henry Harrison. The same year Gov. Harrison licensed Hazleton to operate a ferry at the falls of the Wabash on land granted him as a Revolutionary War veteran."

1807 Census of Indiana Territory lists
Daniel Hazleton, Knox County, number 11
Garvis Hazleton, Knox County, number 680

"Our Founders and Early History" in the Hazleton Centennial 1856-1956 booklet:
"From the town of Olean, in Cattaraugas County, in southwestern New York State, near the headwaters of the Allegheny River came a courageous family during the 1790's. In the group were Daniel Hazleton, thought to be a
Revolutionary soldier, his wife Elizabeth, referred to more frequently as "Betsy", a son Jarvis and a daughter Deborah."

According to Sisco family genealogy, Daniel Hazleton married Elisabeth Sisco, who was born in 1775. She is too young to have been the mother of some of his children. He most likely had a 1st wife.

To Mr. Peter Francisco - Kentucky, Mason County Line - July 16.1795 - Loving brother being desirous of your welfare makes one write to you to inform you of our welfare here. Earnestly desiring you to sell and come away as soon as possible you can and bring no heavy articles with you as pot mettle sells here for six pence the pound and is to be had in great plenty. Bar iron eight pence and all kind of store goods to be had cheaper than you could expect them. Cattle is cheap here. You may get an exceeding good cow and calf for three pounds and according to the quality cheaper salts is from the licks at twenty shilling the bushell. So if you could furnish your self with a few bushells of allum salt where you take boating it would be well. It will be better for you to come while your children is small than for them to come and leave you as they will have to do as that country is poor and worn out. My son James that lives with you I expect you will do your duty by him in every particular both as master and parent. You must expect one day to die and there give an account for all the deeds done in the flesh so therefore do your duty both by yourself and him. Tell my son to come to me as soon as ever the time is out as it will be in our power to him to a way of living. I intend going over the river as soon as the treaty is over and buy a tract of land for Jarvis and another for James Smith. My daughter Margaret is married and her father has portioned her off exceedingly well. Her husbands name is John Youngman. We are all well and in good health and has been very healthy since we left you. The country being in general very healthy country and thanks be ascribed to God for all His mercies so no more for present but remain your loving brother and sister till death. We desire to be remd to your wife and family and all inquiring friends. Daniel and Elizabeth Hazelton.....................

To Mr William Sisco - Kentucky, Mason County - July 16,1795 - Loving brother and sister I send you these few lines to inform you that we live within ten miles of the mouth of Limestone near Captain Figgino station on the headwaters of Bracken. I would be very glad to hear how your wifes relations are and John Bayley and tell him to sell off and come here as soon as possibly he can for as soon as the peace is made with Indians there will be great settlement over the river and the first comers will surely be best off. My advice to all friends and acquaintences is to come away as soon as he can and get them in the new country as great numbers is daily coming and waiting here for the oportunity. I am now settled on the headwaters of Bracken but expects to better myself by this new country considerably as I live by a new town called Germantown is a very thick settlement. I am now trying to make a purchase of one thousand acres of land nearly on the banks of the Ohio. If I do not get that I shall then go over the river and would be glad that all my friends were here that we might go over together. To no more but remains Daniel and Elizabeth Hazelton.
