Information on Rebecca (Barr) Haddon

Rebecca's date of death is established in the following publication:

From "The Stalnaker Family", written by Knight Wees, published in the Randolph Enterprise, Thursday, August 25th, 1932:

When Daniel Baker bought the Jacob Stalnaker farm there was an orchard on the place planted by John Stalnaker and still known as Johnnies orchard. There was also an old tombstone leaning against the building, and still standing where the epitaph can be read:

"In memory of Elizabeth Stalnaker, consort of John Stalnaker, departed this life 13th June, in the year of our Lord, 1844. Age 56 years, 11 mos. and 4 days. (Born therefore 1788), She lived respected and died lamented - Remember friend, as you pass by"

An old family Bible found discloses that this was Elizabeth Haddon, born June 15, 1787. John Stalnaker was born June 15, 1787. John Stalnaker and Elizabeth were married April 26, 1805. To this union six children were born. Washington, born Dec. 3, 1810; Abram Love, Jan. 2, 1812; Mary Brake, Dec. 17, 1819; George, Feb. 28, 1821; Isabel White; Feb. 24, 1822; Hugh, Feb. 11, 1831.

The deaths recorded were Elizabeth, above noted, and Rebecca Haddon, died May 3, 1825, mother of Elizabeth and wife of David Haddon.
