6 Andrew Jackson "Doc" HAGGARD. Born 25 Sep 1853 in Gum
Sulfur, Rockcastle County, Kentucky.
Died 30 Nov 1935. Buried in Piney Grove Cemetery,
Rockcastle County, Kentucky.
A.J. bought Lot #201 (12 spaces) in Piney Grove Cemeteray
in 1918. There are five gravestones on the lot, but no stone for Mattie. Because
of the date the plot was purchased and that her death certificate lists her
burial in the Brodhead Cemetery, I am sure she is buried in Brodhead. The first
space in the plot is unmarked and Great-grandfather Haggard is buried in the
second spot, with four additional spots in the first row unmarked. The second
row has one unmarked space, then Ellen Haggard (A.J.'s second wife) and Winona
Brock. To date, I haven't found any information linking the Mink, Saylor and
Brock families to A.J. The Saylor and Mink stones show dates prior to A.J.'s
death; the Brock stone dates to Ellen's death.
There have been no burials in the plot since Ellen's
death1

JAMES HAGGARD, A SCHOOLTEACHER
(NOTE: These facts are copied this 17th day of August 1904
by Alfred M. Haggard and Finch Haggard from memoranda in the possession of
Melvin Haggard Desoto, Iowa. He secured this from David Gentry Haggard within
the last 5 years.)
A book by David Dawson Haggard Published in 1899 states
that James Haggard is the first known Haggard in America. He migrated to America
about 1699 when he landed in Norfolk, Virginia. He is said to have been educated
for the ministry but upon arriving in Virginia was put to teaching school. Among
his pupils was Elizabeth Gentry, born about 1685, a daughter of Nicholas Gentry,
Sr. They eloped to North Carolina where they had a large family. Later they
returned to Eastern Virginia.
Some records show that James Haggard married Mabel Gentry,
sister to Elizabeth, in 1721. That would imply that the last four children were
from this union.
"The wealthy planter finding young James Haggard well
educated put him to teaching school. There was connected with this school a
young woman whose charms so impressed him that they eloped to North Carolina and
were married since it was illegal for a bonded servant to marry in Virginia.
They had a large family including: Nathaniel, Edmund, Zechariah, and Gray or
Granville."
1678 James Haggard, (identified in the book by David
Dawson Haggard) "The traditions of our fathers are that one James Haggard, born
ca. 1678, Bradenham Hall, England, son of a wealthy aristocratic Lord of
England, was educated for the ministry. He joined the English Army as a private
against his father's wishes. Lord Haggard felt that the family's social status
would warrant a commission) so Lord Haggard paid handsomly to have young James
Haggard smuggled out of England aboard a merchant vessel bound for Norfolk, VA.
The unscruplous captain knowing Lord Haggard would never admit to such a scheme
threw young James Haggard in with other indentured servants and sold a contract
for his services to a wealthy planter, thus collecting for James' passage twice.
Young James Haggard landed in Norfolk, VA, ca. 1698 (prior to his 21st
birthday).
James Hoggard/Haggard, H11, son of Anthony Hoggard,
identified in 1723 Over-wharton Parish, Stafford County, VA, as a tobacco
planter with three sons. Nearest neighbors, also tobacco planters, were James
French and William Rice. The book by David Dawson Haggard identifies him as a
schoolteacher with four sons. Records in the same area include two others
believed to be brothers of those named. Mr. Leland Gentry identifies James
Haggard's wife as Elizabeth Gentry, baptised 29 August 1687, St. Peter's Parish,
New Kent County, VA, daughter of Nicholas Gentry I. (Undoubtedly there were
daughters not shown.):
14
James is thought to be the first Haggard to arrive in
America having come from England. It is believed that James arrived in Norfolk,
VA about 1698 and subsequently was a school teacher.
The Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah (LDS)
shows two marriages for him, one to Elizabeth Gentry about 1707 and another (no
name given) before 1711. At least four sons are believed to have been born to
James and his wife(s). Records indicate at least four separate families living
in Virginia in the 1700's who claim to be sons of James Haggard the school
teacher. They are Nathaniel, Edmund, Gray
(Granville) and Zachariah. If indeed James was married
around 1707-1711 it is very likely he had more older children since Nathaniel
was not born until 1723.
