She was the daughter of Reuben Hicock from Delta. It is still owned by her grandâ€"daughter. Several years ago it was stripped of many coats of paint. During the stripping process, the word "Delta" was exposed and removed. I wrote about this chair in this paper in 1981, at which time I speculated that it could have been made by Hamersly Hazelton because of its origin and probable date. It is gratifying to see that suspicion confirmed by the present evidence. Originally it was a kitchen chair to which rockers were added at a later date. #lâ€"Spts; #Z-IZpts; #4-Zpts; #6-6pts; #lz-lpt for a total of 19 points. PlateIXV'l Plate# X cont'd from pge 7 , Plateit X11 P1ate#XlI This rocker with single arrow was preserved in the Morris family in Delta until it was acquired by its present owner, who is also a native of Delta. I discovered, as I wrote this article, that this chair exhibits every feature from #1 to #12 except #10 giving it a total of 52 points. Plate#XIIIThis might be the oldest Hazelton chair yet discovered. The diminuitive size of the seat and the number of worm holes are indications which lead me to that conclusion. I have not found any chronological order among the different seat shapes he used, although Plate#VIII is certainly an early shape. The chair came from a dealer in Seeley's Bay. Two legs and two stretchers which were missing, have been reproduced to match the originals. Plate#V was taken from this chair during the repairs. #I-Spts; #3-4pts; #4-Zpts; #7-15pts; #ll-lpt; #12â€"1pt Total 2.8 points. Plate#XVI This chicken-coop chair is stamped on the bottom "Hatch" indicating that it was made by Cherster Hatch or his son Wilson, in Kingston. The rather nondescript shape of the seat, (as compared to a classic waterfall or Sheraton pattern) is also seen in P1ates#VIII and X by Hazelton. The front legs have the same bow tie decoration used by Hazelton, although there are three grooves below the bow tie instead of one. The bevel on the lower edge of the seat is also similar to Hazelton‘s except it tapers off to nothing on each side of the front. These similarities lead me to suspect some association between the two makers. The most likely association is that Hatch was the master to whom Hazelton was apprenticed in Kingston. Certainly, by the time this chair was made, the apprentice was building better than the master. PlateXIV This arrowback might have been made by Hazelton, but I am not yet sure. If so, it was made late in his career when his chairs became less distinguishable from the competition. In the little museum in Westport there is a pair that match this one, even to the back, which leans toward the left in this picture. #2-5pts; #6-6pts; #ll-lpt; #12-1pt for a total of 11 points. ' Plat/efXV Plate# XV This sad old relic was a proud arrowback rocker with bow ties when it came from Hazelton's shop about 1845. It is still not beyond restoration. #Zâ€"Spts; #3-4pts; #4â€"Zpts; #5â€"4pts; #6-6pts; #ll-lpt; #IZ-Ipt = 23 points.
