Individual Details
Caleb Hazel
(Abt 1756 - 1825)
Parents believed to be Richard Hazel and Monica Turley of Fairfax Co.,Virginia. Richard Hazel died rather young in 1772, his tiny estate confiscated for debts. The family dispersed and Caleb entered the Virginia Militia in 1775 and the Revolution the next year. He left the military in 1779 and remained in the area living with cousins. Caleb arrived in Nelson Co., Kentucky before 1785 from the Northern Neck region of Virginia. Nelson soon split off Hardin Co., so he lived most of his life in southern Hardin Co., today Larue Co. He did move to close-by Green Co., (near his cousins) during the first decade of the 19th century. He returned to his old farm in southern Hardin Co. after the death of his first wife in 1809. He remarried in 1816 to a Mary Stevens and appears in the 1820 census in Hart Co., but disappears there from the tax lists by 1822. Evidence has surfaced that he fathered a second family with Mary Stevens, perhaps's many as five more children before his decease beyond 1827.
