Matthew Haslett, Sandville, attended the Presbyterian church known as First Donagheady, which was located in the townland of Altrest. There he probably met his future wife, Sarah McCrea of Ballyheather, who was born circa 1781. During his lifetime, and later, several Hazletts (Hasletts, including Dullerton Hasletts, attended that church, and probably they all were part of one extended family.
