Good Evening: For the record, Mary (Collins) Haddock, William's wife went to Texas with her son, Nathan and not William Marion Haddock as stated in the below message. She was listed in 1880 in Erath Co., TX in Nathan's household In 1870 Nathan and his family were all still in Barry County and were listed on the census. At that time Mary is living with Nathan and family. And she is also listed in his household in 1880 in Erath Co., TX. Some researchers believe she went on to OK with Nathan's family, but, at this time, we have no proof of that. William Marion Haddock went to Lubbock, TX, and left Barry County soon after 1884 - sometime not long after his wife Sarah Margaret Neal and son, George Haddock, were struck by lighting. Sarah Margaret and George are probably buried in Maddy because that is where Sarah's mother and her sister, Johanna Bowman, are buried and her Shepherd kinsmen. There are two unmarked graves between them that I believe are the graves of Sarah and George. William and Mary (Collins) Haddock are interesting to me, because William was a brother to my gg grandfather, Charles, Jr. and Mary was a sister to Sarah Collins, my gg grandmother. It was a case of brother's who married sisters. In 1852 I noticed that William Collins and wife Juliet took a patent next door to Charles and Sarah (Collins) Haddock and was in Section 10 of Township 25 N, Range 28 West. They also are listed next door on the 1850 census, too. William Collins left a will in 1854. He was first married to Elizabeth Graham, my gr gr gr grandmother and then after she died in sometime around 1847, he second married Juliet Waller. And then after William Collins died in 1854, Juliet married Stanfier Ferguson, and they were buried in Corsicana Cemetery. I wonder if William Collins was buried in Walnut Grove - New Site Cemetery, but he could have been buried in Corsicana near where Juliet and Stanfier are buried. I am not sure where Elizabeth is buried either, but if she died in Barry County then I'd say she was buried in Corsicana. When Charles Haddock's estate was probated in the mid part of the 1860's, it mentioned that his wife, Sarah and a baby, were buried there on the place - now Walnut Grove - New Site - so that land was to be kept for a cemetery. It didn't mention anything about Sarah's father being buried there, too - so he might have been buried in Corsicana. And since Elizabeth, William Collins' wife died in or about 1847, maybe she is also buried in Corsicana. Elizabeth is a very interesting lady to know about too, because she is closely related to the Easley family through her father's sister, Sarah Graham, wife of William Franklin Easley. Well, it looks like when I get started I don't know where to stop, because I was just about to tell you that then the Easley family married into Zachariah Haddock's family and that he was a brother to Charles and William s father. Sarah (Graham) and William Franklin Easley were the grandparents of Edward Easley who lived at Eagle Rock. Edward Easley married a grand daughter of Zachariah and Chloe (Albritton) Haddock, Mary Elizabeth Russell. And so around and around we go with these families. Isn't Barry County genealogy interesting? Today I had several members of the Haddock family write and say that I never post any thing on our family - so I thought I'd see how may of you I could put to sleep tonight with a long winded report on the Haddock clan.

And I would say that the long time mystery of where he was buried has probably just been solved. The date of his death suggests that he was killed by bushwhackers but we have no facts to document that. Also buried there may very likely be his son Alexander Haddock's wife, Frances Loveall, who died in 1858. Two daughters Emily and Evaline are unaccounted for, so they possibly are buried there, too. We can safely say that Alexander was living not too far away because he was listed as a bondsman for his father's estate - that of William Haddock in about 1861 to 1866. Also he married second in 1860 to Mary Bikes. William's wife, Polly went to Texas with William Marion Haddock and other relatives so we know that she isn't buried there. I have posted some notes about the sections of land and the probate records on the cemetery page. If you can add to those notes or help with the data, please just let me know. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/haddock-2/haddock-2.htm Donna Cooper Please tell us about your Barry county ancestors.
