In the early history of the family it was almost an exception tofind a Hazard who did not marry a cousin, and it is a curious fact thatthe lines in which these marriages were the most frequent, were oftenmarked by the strongest men and women, both mentally and physically.
Thomas R. Hazard, in his "Recollections of Olden Times", has givenan account of the family that goes back, about 1060, on the borders ofSwitzerland. From the Duke de Charante he has given an interestingaccount of the changes in the name, until towards the close of theeighteenth century, when it was written Hazard.
