Descendants of Zachariah Haddock, Sr.

Zachariah married Chloe or Cloey Albritton in 1803 Pitt County, North Carolina. She was the daughter of Peter & Unice (Taylor) Albritton, Jr. (Deed Book DD, Pitt County, North Carolina page 327 dated Mar 9, 1807.) Cloey was born Mar 18, 1784 in North Carolina and died May 22, 1873 in Barry Co., MO.

Zachariah died June 2, 1842, and is thought to be buried in the Haddock Cemetery near the lake, which is at Eagle Rock, Missouri, but there is no marker for his grave. However there are many fieldstone marked graves. Darla Marbut, a descendant of Zachariah, indicated that after Zachariah's death, Cloey Haddock continued to live in their house with their son Lewis Haddock and his wife Jane Lee Haddock. Lewis Haddock died Nov 23, 1854 and is buried in the same cemetery as his father. Cloey went to live with her daughter, Unice (Nicey) Haddock Russell (Mrs. Milo B.) on the banks of Roaring River. She lived with Nicey from about 1853 until her death Nov 23, 1873. Nicey died in 1870 and Nicey's husband, Milo, had died in August of 1873. Cloey died later in November of 1873 and was buried beside Nicey and Milo in their garden near the house. See the photo of the Russell homestead down below. The Russell home place was on the banks of Roaring River.

This is the story of my great-great grandfather, Milo Russell, who is said to have hidden in a cave on his own land. He did this to keep from being killed either by bushwhackers or armies of the North or South during the Civil War. The story was handed down through the generations in the Edward and Mary Elizabeth (Russell) Easley family and my mother, Faye Maloney Ball told it to me. I wrote the story in the early 1970's in our book, "Our Easleys"

From the book "Our Easleys" by Darla (Ball) Gaede Marbut, page 185. "During the Civil War there were outlaws called bushwhackers who roamed the country side looting and robbing. When the bushwhackers came they would murder or beat the old men who were left home during the Civil War. Milo was often ill and being over 50 was considered old. He would hide in a cave on the steep hillside across the river from their home. Nicey, Milo's wife would ride a tame calf to the cave to take him food as the bushwhackers would follow horse tracks. Mary, his daughter, said Milo did not hide there all the time, just when there were rumors of bushwhackers being in the vicinity."

In the fall of 2002, cousins, Jim and Margie Ball, my husband, Gary Marbut and I - Darla - climbed the hillside to the cave. There is a huge overhang of cliff in front of the entrance to the cave. You can't see the entrance until you are directly in front it. Through the years the cave entrance has filled with dirt and rocks that have fallen. In order to get in the cave room, you have to crawl being careful not to hit your head on the ceiling. The naturalist at the Roaring River State Park said they call it the Cave of the Winds. I called it Grandpa Russell's Cave. Unice "Nicey" Haddock Russell was the daughter of Zachariah and Chloe Albritton Haddock. Milo, Nicey and Chloe are buried near where their home was on what is now the Roaring River State Park. [From the files of Darla Marbut]

Editor's note: The research files and family lore of Darla Marbut is very important to the Haddock family files. She has spent many years researching and collecting data about the Haddock family.

This photo is of the Russell home place of Milo and Unice "Nicey" (Haddock) Russell looking much as it would have looked after they had lived there for awhile. One of the buildings is the original log cabin, they lived in until the larger house could be built.

To the right side of the house there is a porch. It is thought it covered a stone lined cellar. The stone lined cellar can still be seen at the Roaring River State Park. Because of the danger of people falling into the old cistern, it was destroyed when the new road was made into the new tombstone for Milo Russell and his wife Unice "Nicey", and her mother Chloe (Mrs. Zachariah) Haddock.

For many years, the road was on the other side of the house in this picture. It went on to what later became Eagle Rock and the Arkansas line crossing Roaring River several times. In later years there was a general store in the house. When my mother, Faye Maloney Ball, was a teenager (1930's) she worked for the Scott Elting family who owned the house. She said there were large fields of vegetables near the house. [From the files of Darla Marbut]

Editor's Note: The book, Haddock Heritage Second Edition, has many pages concerning the Zachariah Haddock family. Some of the data above was taken from the text. [Donna Haddock Cooper]
