William HAZLETT and sons, early pioneers of Butler Co., PA. According to the 1883 History of Butler County, "William HAZLETT and his sons, William, John, Reuben, and David were among the first settlers, and lived on the Henry Fox farm. John kept the old homestead. Reuben learned blacksmithing, and worked at it many years. David went to Ohio. William settled on Rough Run, and owned the land on which the Winfield Furnace is situated. ..." I'm descended from Reuben HAZLETT. He married Mary DUFFY, daughter of John DUFFY.
