Individual Details

Rev Henry Haggard

(27 Mar 1745 - 1842)



Rev. Henry and Dolly had 11 children. David was apparently the eldest.
Children Elizabeth, Nancy, James, David, Henry Jr, Joel, Noah, Lucy, Martin, Susan R, and Mary (Polly) Haggard.

Said to have lived in Tennessee following the Revolution, then moving to Alabama.

A tax list in 1818, lists Henry Haggard as a resident of Bibb County.

Henry Haggard had a land entry at the Tuscaloosa, AL Land office, 1 Dec 1826. The grant was for the East half of the SE quarter of Section 9, Twp 24, Range 11 East - 80 acres.

Dolly was the daughter of Thomas Isham Randolph - Dolly is actually assumed to be daughter of at least three different Randolphs. Obviously no one is proved as her parent.

Henry has been assumed by many to have been a Henry Haggard who served in the Rev War and died in 1838. The application for pension was filed in Rockcastle Co, KY in 1832, served from Virginia, and seems to be a very different Henry Haggard. He was age 74, 25 Mar 1833, which would give him a very different birth year of about 1759.
A roster of Revolutionary Soldiers in Kentucky lists:
Henry Haggard, private, Virginia Militia. May 11, 1833, $40 - age 76

However, he is listed with the Bibb Co AL Pensioners in 1840. So he did serve in the Revolutionary War. He was age 94, or born about 1746.
