Families", Gateway Press,Inc. Baltimore,MD,USA.
James and David Hazelton (brothers) families emigrated to Digby together. They had married sisters (Elizabeth Ann and Margaret Norris) in a "double bond" marriage The gist of the story is that after James Hazelton died in 1859, Elizabeth had to ta ke care of her 5 boys (daughter Margaret married in 1860) and 2 of widow Margaret's boys.Margaret had left for New Brunswick to take a new spouse. Struggling to make it, some of the boys were raised by other families as they worked as farmhand s . Joshua went with the Saxton family and Lewis went with the Stephen Marshall family in
Marshalltown.
COMMENT: If you look at the census information for Robert Marshall, you will see that a Stephen Marshall (30 yrs older than Robert) resided in the same household. This is definitely were Lewis lived until his marriage to Phoebe in a Baptist ceremo ny in Hill Grove on 18 Sept 1883. ADDENDUM: I, Jared, found a record of marriage for Lewis and Phoebe, which indicates same date, but location as Gulliver's Cove. (Oct-2002).
