Note: N200 His father, Charles, was living in Jackson Co., MS in the 1820 census, with our Charles still living at home. Charles, Jr. was married and living in the Semmes area of Mobile Co., AL in 1830, moved back to Jackson Co., MS, and then to Alabama by 1850. Charles and Sabra moved onto their Conecuh/Escambia County property in November, 1848, according to her testimony for homestead proof filed in 1883. They built a one-room dwelling house, a smoke house and a corn crib. By the time of her application for homestead, they had 15 acres under fence and uncer cultivation. (Application #14480). Charles Haveard and his family were found in Conecuh/Escambia County, Alabama in 1850, 1860 and 1880 censuses. 1850 census of Conecuh Co., Alabama (present day Escambia Co.). Household 453.

Family tradition tells that Charles came to Alabama from Lucedale, Mississippi. Some of the other Havards remained there in Lucedale, and eventually, Andrew Fuqua settled in Lucedale. Charles changed the spelling of the name to Haveard, and that spelling is used now by most in the Escambia Co., Al, area. (Grover Haveard, July, 1997)
Charles was named in the 1880 census, but he must have died by 1883 because Sabra did all the homestead work in her own name, and said that in Nov., 1883, the only persons living in her home were herself, one child and one grandchild.
