The name Hasilrig is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo-Saxon
tribes of Britain. It is a product of when the family lived in the West Riding of Yorkshire
in the village of Hesselgreave.
Early Origins of the Hasilrig family
The surname Hasilrig was first found in Northumberland
where they held a family seat
as Lords of the Manor of Wotteslade. In 1280, King Edward 1st of England
also granted to this north country Clan
the Manor of Yetham Corbet. Simon de Hasilrig was progenitor of this distinguished family. CITATION[CLOSE]

But by the late 15th century, some of the family were found at Humberstone in Leicestershire
. "The manor [of Humberstone] was granted by the Conqueror to Hugh de Grentemaisnel, and was held as part of the honour of Leicester, in 1474, by Sir William Haselrigge." CITATION[CLOSE]

Migration of the Hasilrig family to the New World and Oceana
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Hasilrigs to arrive in North America: Thomas Hazelrigg, who was born in 1615 in England
, and died around 1675 in Northumberland
County, Virginia (date of arrival is unknown), as well as Edward Hazelrigg, who arrived in New York State in 1822..
