Jason Hazzard enlisted in July, 1782, at Candia, New Hampshire,

In 1820, the soldier was living in Springfield, Cheshire County, New Hampshire.

Jason Hazzard was allowed pension on his application executed July 19, 1832, at which time he was aged sixty-nine years and a resident of Springfield, Sullivan County (formerly part of Cheshire County), New

his marriage to Betsy, her maiden name, names of parents or date of her
death were not stated, nor were any names in the claims designated as
