The Heirs Of Peter Hazelbaker

Peter Hazelbaker married Elizabeth Shively, the daughter of Daniel Shively (b. 1709) and Barbara Tuschumi. Peter and Elizabeth had six sons; Peter, Daniel, John, Jacob, Abraham and George. The following excerpt is from the book titled "The Old and New Monongahela" and details George Hazelbaker's family.

George lived beyond all of his brothers. He was born in Berkely County, West Virginia, January 18, 1790. His wife was Matilda Dunlevy, sister of Andrew Dunlevy. She died inl853. After his marriage he erected the lower part of the old house on Main street in Bellevernon where now stands the house owned by A. L. Brown and occupied by Abe Lewis. In the old house George and his wife first set up housekeeping and there he carried on the has business until he and Dunlevy started the shop in the Billiter house. He also resided for a time on the Gould farm, then on the Levi Johnson, then on the Rutan farm opposite Columbia owned now by W. J. Manown. He moved from this farm to the Cooper farm near the mouth of Maple Creek and finally in 1841 he purchased the farm on which he died, in Allen Township, from Abia Allen and Robert Stockdale.

His son Andrew married a daughter of Thomas Frye and died about the year 1856 near Lock No. 4. Joseph died at the homestead un-married. Anthony lived for many years in the house near the mouth of Maple Creek now owned by Charles Baltzee. He carried on the flour-ing mill which stood between the dwelling and the present bridge. The mill has passed away. Anthony over thirt y years ago moved to Illinois where he died a few years since. Jacob married a Miss Cr ow and lives in Clarion County.
