    In 1637, the Rev. Ezekiel Rogers landed at Salem in the Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England. With him came about sixty families who had come from the counties of Yorkshire and Devonshire in old England, for the purpose of planting a colony in the wilds of the new world. After remaining in Salem for about a month, they went to the territory now the town of Rowley, Essex, Masachusetts. Among these families were brothers Robert and John Hazelton. The early records have the spelling as Heselton, but it has undergone many changes and written as Haseltine, Hazeltine, Hassaltine, Heseltine, Hezeltine, Hazleton, and Hazelton. In the old country the name was originally Hazelden, from hazel a tree or shrub, and den a valley; the hazel valley, or, the valley where the hazels grow.

The brothers, Robert and John Hazelton, were said to have been herdsmen, but they were probably farmers. They took the freeman's oath 13 May 1640, were hardy, vigorous, thrifty and upright men and valuable members of the community. In the year 1649, the colony at Rowley desired to extend their borders to the Merrimack River. There were natural meadows in the vicinity which furnished excellent pasturage for their increasing herds, but it required settlers near them to look after them and protect them from wild beasts and Indians. In consideration of certain grants of land in the new territory, Robert and John Hazelton and William Wilde commenced clearings and created dwellings upon lands bordering on the Merrimack River, and were the first settlers in the present town of Bradford. They were also the pioneers in the movement for the expansion of the improved lands of Rowley toward the west. In consideration of these grants, the Hazeltons and Wilde were to look after the cattle belonging to the settlers while grazing upon the natural meadows already referred to, and this fact doubtless gave rise to the tradition that has been handed down concerning these men that they were herdsmen by occupation.
The first home of the Hazeltons in Bradford was on the westerly slope of the pleasant grove which stands now as then, near the site of the old town-house where the soil was rich and mellow and where birds chanted their earliest spring notes. Here they built their first house, but a few years after, they erected more substantial homes on what is called Indian Hill, where they also built the first meeting house (in 1648), the minister's house, and laid out a burying place. They owned large tracts of land including that upon which the village and academy now are, and here they lived, multiplied and prospered and in the town of Bradford some of their posterity still live. Robert Hazelton, by court order, was the first to establish a ferry between Bradford and Haverhill, in 1648, at the place still called "the old ferry way".
John Hazelton, after a few years at Bradford (prior to 1660), crossed the Merrimack an lived and died in Haverhill, Massachusetts, originally called Pentuckett. In 1665, he gave the people of Bradford one acr of land for a meeting house, on the condition that the grantees should care for it and keep it properly fenced. His place in Bradford, which included the westerly half of the village, became the property of his son Samuel, who continued to reside upon it until he died. Samuel Hazelton released the people of Bradford from the obligation that was put upon the acre of land for the meeting house.
Robert Hazelton and William Wilde settled near John, and the meadow land which the brothers jointly owned is known as "Hasseltine's Meadow" to this day. The place where they settled was first called Merrimack, and was subsequently changed to Bradford, after a town in the old country from which some of the early settlers came. At the first meeting of the Merrimack people in 1668, Robert Heseltine was chosen one of the selectmen.
The marriage of Robert Hazelton and Ann was solemnized in Rowley 23 Oct 1639, and was the first in the town. Their children were born in Rowley and Bradford. Ann died 26 Jul 1684 in Bradford. Robert made his will 25 Oct 1673 and it was proved 29 Sep 1674. He died 27 Aug 1674 in Haverhill.
John Hazelton and Joan Auter were married 31 Mar 1644 in Rowley. Their children were all born in Rowley. John made his will 17 Aug 1689 and it was proved 31 Mar 1691. He died 23 Dec 1690. His widow, Joan, died 17 Jul 1698
His surname could have been Heseline or Hazeltine

GEDCOM Note

[Edward Heseltine.ftw] [Battrick Family.FTW] Some research says that Robert Haseltine died in Bradford, Mass. A time line that is important in the immigration of Robert Hazeltine to America. Rev. Ezekiel Rogers started his service at St. Peter's Church, Rowley, East York, England on November 21, 1620. Rev. Ezekiel Rogers expelled from St. Peter's Church, Rowley, East York, England on June 6, 1636. During the summer of of 1638 Rev. Ezekiel Rogers and his company sailed from Hull on the "River Humber". During the winter of 1638 the company spent the time at varies locatations: Salem, Boston, Dorchester, Ipswich Mass. and Quinnipiac NH. December 23, 1639 Robert Haseltine married Anne at Rowley, Mass. May 13, 1640 Robert and John were made Freeman at Rowley, Mass. February 18, 1643/44 Joan Anter/Auter joined the church at Boston, Mass. March 31, 1644 Joan was dismissed from Boston to join the church in Rowley, Mass. March 8, 1646 Joan Anter/Auter wrote to the church in Boston to tell them of her marriage to Heseltine at Rowley, Mass. Robert and Anne lived next door to Richard Swan. We believe, that perhaps Richard Swan was the Robert Hazeltine's uncle. We know Richard Swan came from parish as Joanna (Swanne) Haseltine - Robert's mother. Robert Haseltine came to America with his brother John in 1638 from Hull(now called Kingston-on-Hull), Yorkshire on the ship "John of London", landed at Salem, MA.
