John T. Hazelrigg was born in Sharpsburgh, Bath County, KY, July 7, 1831,
and was educated in the common schools of the county.  He is a lineal
descendant of Sir Arthur Hazlerigg, who was governor of Tynemouth Castle on
the Tyne, under the Protectorate; came to this country after the death of
Cromwell and settled in Pennsylvania.  John T. Hazelrigg read law in the
office of John B. Houston, a distinguished Kentucky politician and jurist,
and at once took front rank in his profession.  He has held the offices of
county and circuit court clerk, as well as county attorney of Morgan County.
He is a Democrat in politics, and takes an active part in all political
affairs.  In 1877, in connection with his son, C.S. Hazelrigg, he founded
the Licking Valley Scorcher, a red-hot Democratic newspaper, and a popular
journal in eastern Kentucky.  In 1887 Mr. Hazelrigg was a candidate for
lieutenant-governor of Kentucky, subject to the action of the Democratic
party, and was defeated by Hon. J. W. Bryan at Louisville, by a small
Majority,  May 3, 1887; in his contest Mr. Hazelrigg carried every county in
eastern Kentucky.
