Part I: The Donahues, McGlinns, Hazlets and McRorys

CHAPTER ONE

Our First Known Ancestors:

James Donahue and Sarah McGlinn

Castledergh, County Tyrone, Ireland

Born in the late 1700s

One known child of James and Sarah McGlinn Donahue:

Sarah Donahue (1808, Ireland - April 27, 1888, Meriden CT. Married Robert Hazlett. Came to U.S. in 1847, age 39. Died at age 80 in a house fire. Buried St. Patrick's Cemetery, Meriden.

[Sources: Sarah's CT death certificate, U.S. census records and Meriden city directories. While in elementary school, Ray Noble was also told about the Hazlets at a funeral by a relative named William D. Joyce (whose relation has been lost). Bill also mentioned an oral tradition claiming that this Irish family (which branch we don't know) was descended from the great Scottish liberator, Robert Joyce.]

[Heading Insert]

It is time to say more about Sara Donahue's husband, Robert Hazlett (also Hazlet, Haslet, Haslett, Hazlit and Hazlitt -- such variety is spelling surnames was universal: the name Shakespeare was spelled dozens of ways!). He was born in Ireland in 1806 but we know nothing about his parents or his siblings, if any. He died in Meriden on August 10, 1877. The children of Robert and Sara were:

I. John Hazlett (1840 Ireland - ??) [Descendants unknown -- we think that Bill Joyce, mentioned above, was his grandson.]

II. Sarah Hazlett (1846 Ireland - Feb. 3, 1921). Married Thomas Rogers.

CHAPTER THREE

The Rogers (McCrory) Line -- Then and Now

Thomas Rogers ~ Sarah Hazlett

Sara Hazlett's husband Thomas Rogers, was born in Ireland in

1841 and died in Meriden on October 13, 1913 at the age of 72. Sara died 8 years later at the age of 75. Sarah and Tom lived at 94 N. 3rd Street, Meriden and are buried in St. Patrick's Cemetery. The 1870 US census confirms that Thomas was born in Ireland in 1841. He became a U.S. citizen on October 20, 1890. We needn't bother tracing the name Rogers -- we are told that Tom changed his name from McCrory when he came to the U.S. (Immigration officers often changed long, difficult names but we don't know why a McCrory would change his name). Tom and Sarah had 7 children:

I. Susan Rogers (18?? - 19??). Married John Bridgett. John and Susan's children and descendants are:

A. Hazel Bridget married Robert Brosnan (??- 1986). Daughter of Hazel and Bob Brosnan: a. Susan Brosnan (194? - ).

They had three children: John Walter Noble (who married Kathryn "Kay" Sullivan), Robert Francis Noble (who married and had a child with Betty Ford and remarried Gen ?) and Marion Gertrude Noble Booth (who married Albert J. Booth: "Albie Booth"). Instead of discussing those children and their descendants here, Chapter Six will discuss the descendants of John and Kay Noble -- our family and the families of Ray's brothers and sister -- while Chapter Seven will look at the descendants of Bob and Betty Noble and Marion and Albie Booth.
