      1. Haggard descendants have much to be thankful for in Clinton R. Haggard's research and in the preservation of that research by Gary and Janet Foster. Gary Foster is the administrator of Clinton Haggard's 2500 page document which was broken down by Clinton's daughter, Susan E. Haggard Hayashi.

      2. Prompted by Mike Hockett's information in the next source on this page, I've eliminated several names from the Haggard line that I originally posted. Though erroneous, some of the names still appear in Clinton R. Haggard's work and in his references farther down on this page.

      Mike Hockett:
      "No documents can be found linking him (Anthony Hoggart) to his father. Further, no documents can be found linking him (Anthony Hoggart) to Philip Hoggatt. Other records suggest that Philip was an abandoned child given the name Hoggatt, meaning 'left by the gate'."
      "Further, Sons of the Revolution has a record on Eleanor Crowe d.1734 married to Anthony 1684-1755...."
