John E. Hazzard - History Continued

Over the course of the last several months, I've been researching the life of John E. Hazzard, the great grandfather of my Grandma Denny. (Some of you may remember attending a Whitcomb/Denny family reunion back in the mid-80's. John E. Hazzard was Matilda Jane Whitcomb's father-in-law.)

Using only primary source documents, I've been able to recreate a somewhat different picture of his life than what was once understood by the family. While not trying to discredit the memory or research of others (especially Grandma), I've tried hard to piece things together as best as possible. I also very much welcome your participation in coming to know our family's history.

You may read what I've written: click here to see a full-screen version with comments enabled. If you'd like to edit the document, please contact me in the comments below or by email and I'll add you to the Google Doc. At the end of the document, you'll find an Appendix that contains images of some of the primary source documents. Once I'm satisfied we've told his story as accurately as possible, I'll then enter the family information found within this history into the new Family Search database.

What do you think? Can you help me fill in any of the holes? Can you find any flaws in the rationale I may have applied to the construction of this history?

Sadie just turned 6.  



I am getting extremely desperate for a pause button.
