Looking for connections to my g-g-g-grandfather, Seth Field HAZEL, who died in Lavaca Co. Feb 3, 1867. He came to the county in either the 1830s or 1840s, lived on the northern edge, part of his land in Fayette Co. His wife was Caroline M. BUCKHOLTS, whom he married in 1830 in Sumter Co, AL. Her brother, Zadock BUCKHOLTS lived near them. The HAZELs had 11 children; those surviving childhood were John N. HAZEL, who married first into the Simpson family and then into the Miskell family, William H. HAZEL, who died in the civil war, Amanda HAZEL who married Jackson LEE of Fayette Co, and later married again. James P. HAZEL, who married Virginia or Jane HOLT in UPSHUR co, in 1871, Caroline Elizabeth HAZEL who married William LANE and later married again, Jonathan HAZEL, and Darlin Augustus HAZEL. Caroline and her youngest three sons, aged 17-23, moved to Indian Territory with family in 1872 to the Choctaw Nation. She was descended from a Choctaw family.

The IGI record at the LDS library shows a record of the marriage of my g- g-grandparents, James Polk HAZEL and Virginia HOLT, as having taken place in March 1871 at Lafayette, Upshur Co, TX. I would like to know what the source of this information is. I can't find any record myself. I believe they were Baptist, and they may have been married at the Lafayette Baptist Church, but I don't know. I can find no record of Virginia in any HOLT family in the 1870 census thereabouts. James was from Lavaca CO, but had family in Smith Co. If anyone can help me find this marriage record or can help me find out anything more about Virginia (called Jane?) HOLT, I would be very grateful. James was born in 1848, son of Seth F. HAZEL and Caroline M. BUCKHOLTS.
