Welcome
to the Hazlett Repository. We (the Hazlett Web team)started
this web site so all Hazletts would have one central point to post their
Hazlett genealogy and history. We
will post your GEDCOMs, census records, deeds, wills, Bible records, old
letters, old photos and anything else that can help us in the search of
our ancestors. We
hope that all of you will help by sending your Hazlett history and family
lines to us.

Biography of
Elizabeth II (Betsy) Hazlitt

Elizabeth II (Betsy)
Hazlitt was born in Ireland in 1814, the eldest child of Joseph II Hazlitt
and Eleanor Carson. She was raised in Canada and married John Carrington
in Picton, Ontario. This
is the "Aunt Betsy Carrington" about whom we have heard stories. She was
considered to be a wondrously wise woman with the mind of a lawyer. People
would drive for miles to her home to consult with her on matters requiring
legal advice.
When word was received
that there was a sizeable inheritance in Ireland for the Hazlitts, she
was the one that the relatives in Ontario chose to send to Ireland to represent
them and place their claim. Quoted below is part of a letter from Grace
Willis Lafferty - one of the Hazlitt descendants of Topeka, Kansas.
"Of course you know about
the estate in Ireland and how Aunt Betsy Carrington went over there and
managed to get hold of it and came back to Canada and built or bought a
big lumber yard. She became very wealthy. All of the Hazlitts for generations
were to receive so much every month from the estate. There was no one to
look after our interests so we didn't get any of it. I remember your grandma
(Mary Elizabeth Hazlitt) telling how Aunty Betsy was so keyed up all the
time, making money that she shouldn't sit down to the table, but would
walk around while eating her meal." |
