Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DYC.2ACE/635 Message Board Post: My grgrgr-grandfather, Hood Haslett came to the U.S. in 1830, born in Ireland 1780, active in United Irishmen, lashed almost to point of death. Are there any existing, available books that tell of his role in that period of history? His father was a blacksmith, William Henry Haslett. I greatly desire some written words of this. He died in Morgan County, Alabama, USA after the 1850 census. His loyalty oath cites Ulster & Antrim, but I'm not sure of exact place of birth. HELP!
