HAGGARD/HOGGARD FAMILIES
A person's most treasured possession, their most valued asset, is their name. Everyone at
heart is an ancestor worshipper. No one need to be ashamed of a proper and wholesome family
pride. All the races of mankind, from the most primitive tribes to the most sophisticated, have
preserved by some means the descent of their great families, their chiefs and commoners. The
sacred contain a great many genealogies, passed down by word of mouth, in poem, song and chant,
for many generations before they were committed to writing. The family is the cornerstone of our
civilization, vital to our racial, national and personal security.
For most of us it is not possible to trace with accuracy before the time when surnames were
first adopted. The nomads of the dark ages felt no need of surnames, nor did their contemporaries in
the established communities, the hamlets and manors where all lived under the patronage of their
local Lord. At first there was but one house, the Lord's hall whose inhabitants bore personal names
related to their occupation or their personal characteristics, or their aspirations in this world or the
next. By the time the whole of Europe was won to Christianity most of the names familiar to us
today as Christian names had been chosen.
In those days when communities were small and men were closely bound by personal
allegiance to each other, each was identified by a single name only, but as the population increased,
communication, trade and travel became easier, confusion would arise unless there was some way
of identifying particular persons of the same name. Thus surnames began to be used. At first they
were not necessarily fixed, and changed with each generation as if they had been a second Christian
name. They were chosen casually, and discarded without a thought.
Usually one of four sources would provide a surname. It might be the name of a parent —
William the son of John might be William Johnson, but his son might be William Williamson. It
might be a person's trade or occupation — Fletcher, the arrow maker; Constable, the custodian of
the peace; Shoemaker, the cobbler; Carpenter, one who builds houses. It might remind a person's
neighbors of their birthplace — York, the person from York — or their residence Woods, by the
woods; Ford, near the ford. Any of these names might become hereditary and become true family
surnames. Thus a name begins its course through history.
Smith in his "History of Surnames" states that the surname Haggard/Hoggard and their
many variations was first Hagar in Hebrew had a meaning of "stranger" which has an early history
going back to the Bible where Hagar was a concubine of Abraham, mother of Ishmael. She was
Sarah's handmaiden who, because she bore a son to Abraham while Sarah was barron, grew
haughty. After the birth of Sarah's son Isaac, Hagar and Ishmael were turned out of Abraham's tents.
They almost died in the wilderness; but were rescued when God pointed out a spring to Hagar. (See
Gen. XVI).
In Welsh it was Hayard meaning "pleasing"; in Cornish British it was Hegar, and in Gaelic
it was Argher meaning "joy"; in the Dutch language it is Hageraats, and in German "Horger"
meaning "firm edge" as in a sword. In Denmark the name Ogard had a meaning of "hay yard".
Webster's Dictionary lists "Hag" as "a witch; an ugly old woman; and "ard" as a suffix indicating
"in excess"; "Haggard" meaning "lean and hollow-eyed".
Guppy in his "History of Surnames" notes Haggard and its variants are probably connected
in their descent with the Hagards, who were the Lords of the manor of Bourn in the 17th and 18th
centuries.

WHERE DO WE START?
The largest sources of information on the Haggard family are the previously published books:
"History of the Haggard Family in England and America: 1433-1899" written by David
Dawson Haggard in 1899 and published by Joel Munsell's Sons, Albany, NY, a copy of which is in
the National Archives in Washington, DC.
"The Gentry Family in America: 1676-1909" written by Richard Gentry, a copy of which
is in the Rhode Island Historical Society Library. Reprints have been advertised.
"Genealogy and History of the Haggard Family: 1433 to 1899 to 1938 to 1954"
copyright 1938 by Jennie (Haggard) Ray, printed in the United States of America by Regional
Press, Inc. This is a revision of David Dawson Haggard's book with additions to the line of John
Haggard, son of Nathaniel Haggard.
"The Clabaughs with a Special Chapter on Henry Haggard, 1744-1842" by Betty
Harrell, 621 Harrington Avenue, Los Altos, CA 94022, copyright 1982. This is an excellent
biography of life and times of Rev. Henry Haggard, son of Nathaniel Haggard.
"Rice Haggard, the American Frontier Evangelist Who Revived the Name Christian"
by Colby D. Hall, published in 1957 by the T.C.U. Press, Ft. Worth, TX. This ia an excellent
booklet on the life of Rice Haggard, son of Edmund Haggard, one of the four sons of James
Haggard identified in David Dawson Haggard's book.
"Comstock, Haggard and Allied Families" compiled and edited by Mary Jane Comstock,
printed by the Adams Press, Chicago, 1973. Copy in the Library of Congress, catalog card No.
73-76375. Mary Jane Comstock was stricken with Polio at the age of 21 which left her a
quadriplegic. She died before she could find her connecting link to the known Haggard lines. Her
courage should be an inspiration to all of us. Later research indicates she was a descendant of
Zechariah Haggard.
"The Hoggards of Poplar Hall" researched, compiled, edited and published by Mrs. Alice
Granberry Walter, 4004 Atlantic Avenue, Suite 506, Virginia Beach, VA 23451. She shows the
probable connection between Peter Hogard and the James Haggard, identified by David Dawson
Haggard as the founder of the family.
Our Sincere thanks to all the members of the family who have shared their research and
family records.

The Ogard line disappeared about 1702 for lack of a male heir.
While the Ogards and Haggards lived in the same area for over 250 years there is no
known connection between the families other than a plate found in the possession of John Haggard
(see 111) with the Ogard family crest, "Azure. a mullet of six points argent, through which the
Haggards of Bradenham Hall claim descent from Sir Andrew Ogard, Knight of Bradenham Castle,
County Norfolk, who settled in England and was naturalized by King Henry VI in 1433. He was a
scion of a most distinguished family in Denmark, where the name is still to be found (1899).
However that may be, the pedigree of the Haggards can be traced back to the fifteenth century

EARLY HAGGARDS IN AMERICA
1625 William Hagar, born in London, England 1625; was at Watertown, Massachusetts in 1645
where he died in 1684.
1635 Robert Haggar, born ca. 1602, departed from London, England in the ship "Alice" at the
age of 33 and arrived in Virginia in 1635.
1635 "Virginia Colonial Abstracts" by Beverly Fleet, Vol. 1, Page 50--Accomack County
Records 1632-1637: 1635 — Servants researved out of England by the ship "James and
Revenge" viz. Jno. Haggard.
NOTE: If Jno. Haggard was of age in 1635, he would have been born ca. 1614 or
before in England.
1654 September 10 — Peter Hogard departed from London, England, to Westmoreland County,
Virginia. Sponsored by Francis Smith, ingeenr, and Mr. John Smith of Stanley Hundred,
3000 acres Westmoreland County, VA, betwixt lands of Nicholas Lambsen and Capt.
Thomas Davis and John Williams and Steven Norman, et al, for transportation of 60
persons: Henry Groany, Peter Hogard, John Giles, Francis Smith, et als.
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).
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.
NOTE: David Dawson Haggard was in contact with the English author H. Rider
Haggard, who was in his prime about 1890, and was writing almost two books a year. H.
Rider Haggard had a style of collecting known facts and weaving a story around them so his
readers never knew fact from fiction. Bradenham Hall, home of H. Rider Haggard, wasn't
built until about 1725, over 50 years after young James Haggard was born, and wasn't
purchased by the Haggards until about 1850. As of 1993 there is no known connection
between the English and American Haggards.
1726 John Haggard of Boston, came from "Anopilus Royal" in 1726. He was warned out of

Peter Hogard, H — If Peter was of age when he was transported to America in 1654 he

2. Peter Hogard, H2.
3. Nathaniel Hogard, H3.
4. Samuel Hogard, H4.
Anthony Hogard, H1 — To own a patent in 1667 Anthony would have been born prior to
1646 (before Peter Hogard left England), so he could be a brother. He was married and had at least
four sons:
1. James Hogard, H11.
2. David Hogard, H12.

Note: If Anthony Hoggard was born ca. 1646 and died in 1755 then he would have
been 109 when he died which seems unlikely. It appears more probable that these records are of
two or more related people named Anthony Hoggard.
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.
