I have no explanation for why Mary has 10,000 worth of real estate, except
to assume it's enumerator error. I would also assume that the figure
belongs on the next column down, for the head-of-household there, except
that the next household is that of a black farm laborer.

Kentucky. F.A. Battey & Co., Louisville, KY (excerpts online
at the Kentucky Biographies Project [link died]):
| CHARLES W. HADDOX was born in Logan County, Ky., on November
5, 1842, and was a son of Joseph and Mary (Williams) Haddox.
The parents were natives of Virginia, and came to Logan County in an early
day, where they lived and died. Subject was the fifth of eight children,
of whom three are now living: Amelia W., wife of William Drain, of Clarksville;
Mary L., wife of J.T. Donalson, and Claude E. The schools of Keysburg
furnished his education. He remained at home until seventeen, and
then went into the war; he first went out in Col. Hutchingson's Brigade;
he remained there one year, and then enlisted under Gen. Morgan.
He was afterward captured and sent to Camp Douglas, and subsequently transferred
to Camp Chase; he was kept in prison about eighteen months, and then, returning,
re-entered the army, remaining out until the close of the war. After
the war he began merchandising in Keysburg, where he remained until 1866;
he then came to Todd County, where he turned his attention to farming;
he first had 200 acres, and afterward increased it 500 acres. This
farm is now carried on by his widow, Mrs. Haddox. In 1869 he purchased
Frazier & Winston's grocery in Allensville, and ran it by himself a
short time. He then took in J.T. Donalson as a partner. After
two years he sold out, but re-engaged in business at the end of six months
at the same place. He took in his brother, C.E. Haddox, as a partner,
and remained in business until 1882; he was one of the leading merchants
of this point during the time he was engaged here; he was also a large
produce buyer, and was probably one of the most extensive stock-dealers
in southern Kentucky. He was married on November 20, 1866, in this
county, to Miss Sallie B. Wims, a daughter of P.A. and S.A. (Mimms)
Wims. The father was born near Richmond, Va., and came to this
county in an early day, where he resided until his death in 1879.
The mother was born in this county, and died here in 1880. Mrs. Haddox
was born in this county on March 3, 1849, and to her have been born three
children, one of whom, Charles Augusta, is still living. Mr. Haddox
died here on August 27, 1882. In his life he was a consistent member
of the Methodist Church, as is also his widow, who still survives him. |
