HISTORY OF HAVERHILL
and had distinguished himself by service in the French and Indian War. In 1757 he was lieutenant in Capt. Jacob Bayley's Company, Col. Meserve's New Hampshire regi- ment and took part in the Crown Point expedition. In 1758 he was a captain in Col. Hart's regiment, and in 1760 he also commanded a company in Col. Goffe's regiment which was sent out for the invasion of Canada. He gained an enviable reputation for bravery and daring, during these hazardous campaigns. Named first of the grantees of Haverhill he was first on the ground in beginning its settlement, was the largest land- owner, and the leader in its affairs in its early years. He served on the important com- mittees named by the proprietors in the division of the town into lots, the construction of roads and the erection of mills. He was moderator of the first town meeting and served in that capacity the most of the time until his death. He also held the office of town clerk and selectman. He was instrumental in securing a desirable class of settlers, and untiring in his activities for the welfare of the new town in the settlement of which he was so important a factor. Indeed to him more than to any other may be fitly ascribed the title, "Founder of Haverhill."
3. MOSES, son of Moses and Abigail (White) Hazen, born June 1, 1733; died Troy, N. Y., Feb. 4, 1803. Like his brother, John, he distinguished himself in the colonial wars, and served under Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham where he was severely wounded. He was retired on half pay, married Charlotte La Sausse, a French lady, and settled at St. John in Canada. They had no children. He had acquired large landed property in Canada when the War of the Revolution broke out. At the sacrifice of his Canadian property, and his half pay for life, he immediately espoused the patriot cause, and raised a regiment of Canadians, known as "Congress' Own" and "Hazen's Own" and which rendered important service. Before the close of the War he was commissioned brigadier- general. He cut a military road in Vermont from Peacham to Montgomery through a notch in the mountains which perpetuates his memory by bearing his name. He was one of the grantees of both Haverhill and Newbury, but was never much identified with the affairs of either town.
