Elizabeth "Betsey" Ann Hill and Hazlett Barrett were married on December 16, 1842 by Justice of the Peace Henry Berkey.
Hazlett rode on horse back from Virginia to Indiana when he was only
17 years old. Think of the bravery it took as he had to face the
beasts of the forest. In those days roads were scarce and he only had
Indian trails for guidance. After arriving in Indiana he met and
married a 15 year old girl. They had 15 children and many many
grandchildren. They raised their family on a farm 2 miles northeast
of Smithville, Indiana.
According to the history of Monroe County, H. Barrett was part of the
Methodist Church in Harrodsburg in the 1850s. In the 1850 Census -
Household 180, Perry Twp Dist 132, Land value $300.00.
Hazlett and Elizabeth are both buried near the old farm place in
Smithville. This Cemetery was turned into pasture land, later
destroyed when the housing addition was built. There aren't any
stones to be found anywhere in 1986. The old Cemetery was located
across the road from the Lucas Cemetery northeast of Smithville, IN.
Their farm was located on Ramp Creek, in the valley. The top of the
hill above the farm is called Handy Ridge. Part of the old home place
was still standing in 1980. Although sold and resold it was made to
stand for many years.
